When you are faced with a major choice, whether you continue to dig deeper or look for related fields, the best advice is always based on your major. If you are eager to cross-major, you must first confirm whether you have relevant professional knowledge. This article will provide you with relevant information about choosing a Japanese postgraduate major.

Interdisciplinary opportunities

If you minor in related courses or get a second degree on campus, your interdisciplinary opportunities will be greatly increased. However, some schools have specific credit requirements for related professional courses, which are about 30~40 credits.

Professional choice

Even for Japanese majors, there are many majors that don't require high professional background for you to choose from, such as education, sociology, literature, linguistics, welfare studies, psychology and so on.

Japanese graduate students

Japanese graduate students in public universities in China are different from those in China. In Japan, the master's degree is called monk, and the graduate student is the preparatory stage of monk. After completing two years of study, you will get a monk's degree.

Daily life habits in Japan

Japanese daily life habits are similar to those in China, which makes communication very smooth and helps you to integrate into the environment quickly.

Application material

To apply for Japanese graduate students, you need to prepare a lot of materials, including degree certificate, research plan, professional course results, graduation thesis, foreign language proficiency certificate and so on. But please note that the research plan is the key to the application, which directly shows your research direction and research ability. Therefore, although language ability is very important, it will be of great help to your school application if you can provide TOEFL scores after Japanese meets the basic requirements.
