After the educational reform in Japan, the application conditions for graduate students have been relaxed. Japanese graduate students are required to have a bachelor's degree or equivalent. College and those who have many years of industry experience but have less education than undergraduate can be regarded as equivalent. However, master students are required to have a full-time education 16 years or more. Because the junior college degree is only 65,438+05 years, they must make up for it through 65,438+0 years of postgraduate education before they can apply for a university. (That is to say, you can apply for a postgraduate diploma, but you are not allowed to take the college entrance examination directly without going through the postgraduate stage).
However, at present, many universities in Japan (especially good universities) still follow the old regulations, explicitly requiring graduate (non-master) applicants to have 16 years of education, which actually closes the door directly to college graduates. These universities are usually well-known and influential, so many people mistakenly think that college students can't apply for graduate students. In fact, college students can apply for graduate students, but the number of schools they can apply for is limited, and the number of good schools is even more limited.
