First of all, it is very difficult for art design students to apply for Japanese higher education courses (departments and monks) from overseas. Generally, on-site exams and interviews are needed. It would be even worse if you were not proficient in Japanese. It is recommended to study counseling through a language school, which is more reliable when applying in Japan.

Postgraduate system

Japanese public universities have a "postgraduate" system to prepare for entering a formal master's program (called monk or doctoral preparatory course in Japan).

national university

Among the national universities, Tokyo University of the Arts, the most famous one, can even be called the first art college in Asia, which is state-owned. Among other national universities, Chiba University (national), Tsukuba University (national) and Kyoto City University (public) all have art research content for application.

Academic certification

Japanese public universities are recognized by China's Ministry of Education, and most private university degrees are also recognized by China, that is, they can be certified after graduation.

Number of schools

There are nearly 700 accredited universities in Japan, and the list of these universities can be found on the website of Foreign Affairs Supervision of the Ministry of Education of China (official website address: /index.php/default/index).

tuition

The difference in tuition fees between public and private monks (masters) courses is not as big as that of undergraduate courses. Art design courses of Musashino University of Fine Arts and Tama University of Fine Arts in private universities are also internationally recognized and well-known.
