First, the advantages of Japanese undergraduate study abroad
1, the admission methods of Japanese universities are more diversified.
Studying in Japan is different from the "instant success" of China's college entrance examination, and Japan's college entrance examination methods tend to be more diversified, providing more opportunities for international students. Generally speaking, there are two channels for international students to enter universities. The first is to take the Japanese study abroad exam and the internal university exam. The other is to take the central examination and internal examination in Japan. Examinations for foreign students in Japan are held twice a year. Although the center exam in Japan is held once a year, there is a make-up exam system to give candidates more opportunities. In addition, famous universities still have certain requirements for English, and many famous universities will draw the lowest score for registration, so that international students can evaluate their own strength. Students studying in Japan can choose a university according to their level, major and preference. The diversification of application methods provides opportunities for students who are prone to behave abnormally in some subjects or major exams. Moreover, college internal examinations can also allow students to give full play to their own specialties. According to Japanese official statistics, 90% of Asian students study in Japan, 73% from national universities and 45% from other schools. Including private universities, short-term universities and specialized schools, the enrollment rate of students in China is almost 65,438+000%.
2. The cost of studying in Japan is relatively low.
Japanese universities have a tuition waiver system for international students. About 90% of international students in national universities are tuition-free, 50% in public universities, and some outstanding students in private universities can apply for tuition-free. There are many kinds and channels of scholarships in Japan. There are as many as 245 scholarships provided by the government, consortia and the people (not including the university itself). The Japanese government also provides student loans for international students. On the other hand, international students can work in Japan. The wage for working is about 800 ~ 1200 yen (60 ~ 78 RMB)/hour. The legalization of part-time jobs and numerous job opportunities provide very favorable conditions for foreign students to work and study. Undergraduate study in Japan also attracts many international students because of tuition fees.
Studying in Japan is both comfortable and safe.
Japan's geographical location, climatic conditions, lifestyle, customs and cultural differences are not much different from those in the coastal areas of China, so international students do not need to bear too much pressure of cultural differences. Japan's domestic transportation is convenient and electrified railways extend in all directions; Supermarkets can be seen everywhere, with a full range of goods. In addition, Japan is also one of the safest countries in the world, unlike the United States, where school gunfire rings from time to time, and unlike Britain, where riots often occur. Moreover, Japan is a more traditional country, unlike Europe and America, where there are too many differences in common sense of life. In addition, Japan's national health insurance is also very beneficial to international students. Individuals only bear 30% of the medical expenses in insurance. There are also university dormitories in Japan, which are low in cost, comfortable and safe. Some national universities only need a monthly rent of 5,000 yen, while private universities are different according to the school situation and personal situation.
4. High-level education quality
Japan is famous for its education, and its higher education system has trained many outstanding talents for Japan and made great contributions to its economic and social development. In Japan, world-renowned universities with a long history abound. For example, the University of Tokyo, which ranks 19 in the world, is the first national university established in Japan. It is a traditional university with many colleges and disciplines. While laying a solid foundation, the University of Tokyo emphasizes scientific research. There are many talents among the graduates of Tokyo University, including many Japanese countries. In addition to the University of Tokyo, Kyoto University has a tradition of attaching importance to science over literature since its establishment. Therefore, science has obvious advantages in departments, research institutes, teaching and scientific research of the whole school, forming a unique "Kyoto School". At Kyoto University, students can be exposed to international cutting-edge research projects at the undergraduate level.
This spirit of encouraging students to be "interested" and "persistent" makes Kyoto University the cradle of scientists. In Japan's higher education system, it is mainly divided into three parts: school education, teaching practice and student employment. Pay attention to developing students' ability, cultivate students' quality, and combine education with practice and social economy. Universities generally adopt the credit system, and the degree of freedom is relatively high. For example, although students have decided on their own departments when they enter school, there is still a lot of room for choice in elective courses. After the third grade, students can enter the laboratory, participate in the learning activities in the laboratory, and complete the graduation project under the guidance of tutors and related personnel.
5. Japan has a high visa rate for studying abroad.
With the support of Japan's "300,000 Overseas Students Program", many requirements for studying in Japan have been reduced, such as guarantee procedures, Japanese proficiency and education level. The distinction between studying abroad and studying abroad is not as obvious as before. More and more Japanese universities will change the "tradition" in the past and tend to recruit foreign students directly from China. This virtually increased the visa rate to Japan.
Second, the conditions for studying in Japan.
1, language requirements
Studying Japanese in a language school has certain requirements for applicants' Japanese. They must have at least N5 grade, or get F grade and NAT certificate, and also have a language learning certificate from a domestic training institution 180 class hours or more. College, that is, business college, medical college and other college higher education, needs to have the level of N2; However, applying for a comprehensive university generally requires a level above N2, which depends on the major you apply for. Among them, liberal arts, law and economics majors generally have a certificate of N 1, while science and engineering and art majors, N2 can basically apply for ordinary universities, and famous schools should have N 1, so the application is relatively safe and try to improve their oral English.
2. Education
Take the application stage as an example. To apply for a language school, junior college or university, you must complete 12 years of education and finish high school before you are eligible to submit an application. The former two accept applications from vocational high schools and technical schools other than high schools, while the latter only accepts applications from high school graduates. Applicants for graduate students and monks need to complete at least 15 years of school education, accept undergraduate applications and accept student applications, among which graduate students are in the preparatory stage of monks; The latter is what we know as a master. Friar's application can be submitted directly in China, which is very difficult; I suggest that you come to Japanese language training first, or take the preparatory course first, and then take the examination of domestic monks.
3. Performance requirements
The requirement for grades here is still GPA. You don't need to provide academic test scores to apply for courses in language schools. To apply for undergraduate study, whether it is a university or a junior college, you need to provide a transcript of about GPA3.0. The requirement for grades here is GPA.
