What are the requirements for studying abroad in Japan?

In Japan, the master is called a monk, with different names, but basically the same. What conditions do I need to meet if I want to go to Japan for a master's degree? We have sorted out the relevant contents for everyone. Let's take a look.

Japanese master's study abroad conditions

1. Japanese ability

Japanese proficiency is a hardware requirement for students. At present, most public universities in China recognize the results of JLPT (some private universities also recognize the results of J-test). If you study in a local Japanese language school, you can generally reach the level of N 1 in one year, while students studying in China should pay attention to cultivating their listening and speaking ability. JLPT exam twice a year, in July and 65438+February respectively, with early registration and late results. Therefore, it is recommended that students who want to study in Japan take the grade examination as soon as possible. Students who want to apply for social science majors had better achieve N 1, while students who apply for science and engineering majors can generally get the approval of the professor by getting N2.

2. English ability

It should be pointed out that the recognition of China's various English tests in Japan is very low, such as CET-4 and CET-6 and CET-8 in TEM-4. These tests have no effect on monks applying for Japanese public universities. Japanese universities generally adopt TOEFL, TOEFL and GRE scores. Especially for students applying for science and engineering, it is very important to submit a TOEFL and TOEFL score of nice when applying, because college students will try a lot of English textbooks and even teach in English. When it comes to specific scores, of course, the higher the better. If you don't want to draw an average score, TOEFL 80+ will be a good result.

3.GPA and graduation thesis

Everyone's college background can't be changed when they graduate. Admittedly, students who graduated from 2 1 1 or 985 colleges have certain advantages in application, but it is not uncommon for two or even three students to apply for Dongda University. Noble families are important, but real heroes don't ask about their origins. On the contrary, your GPA score and a high-level graduation thesis can better reflect your level. With a good GPA, no failed courses, and a graduation thesis that can reflect your research ability and personal charm, it is hard for a professor not to be conquered by you.

4. Research direction

Master's courses are different from undergraduate courses, and the research scope will be narrowed but the difficulty will be deepened, so it is also important to choose a feasible research direction. For students who want to continue their studies in this major, they can choose the appropriate research direction according to their graduation thesis and their understanding of the major; For students who want to change majors, they can make appropriate adjustments according to their personal interests and future career plans. It should be pointed out that it is relatively easy to translate text into words, but it is more difficult to translate text into words. Some universities in Japan even restrict the original majors of students who submit applications. For example, the economics major of Kobe University only accepts undergraduates majoring in economics, and the economics major of Nagoya University requires applicants to complete 40 economics-related credits during their college years. So be careful when choosing your major and research direction.

List of application materials for Japanese master's study abroad

1. Letter of recommendation from university professors

Applying for graduate students in Japanese universities requires a recommendation letter from the professor. But different schools have different application requirements. Some universities need the guidance of professors, while others need the prescriptions of department heads or deans. There is no special requirement on the content, as long as you indicate your department and your usual academic performance.

Step 2: Copy

For students who are studying, all grades from 1 grade to the time of application should be issued. The grade cannot be in Chinese, and the original must be submitted in English or Japanese. Transcript is only one of the application materials. Japanese teachers mainly want to know what courses students have taken during their school days.

3. Scheduled graduation certificate

Applying for graduate students usually starts in the senior year, so students need to submit their scheduled graduation certificates. This certificate is issued by the department to which the student belongs, and generally includes the applicant's name, gender, date of birth, date of admission, professional name, scheduled graduation date and scheduled degree name.

4. Abstract of graduation thesis

In order to better grasp the performance of students at school, Japanese universities will require students to provide the graduation thesis or the outline of the thesis and research results during their college years.

5. Research plan

Among all the materials, the research plan is the most important document for studying in Japan. Teachers generally understand students' research ideas and actual level through research plans. The research plan includes research background, research purpose, research content, research methods and references. Every university has different requirements for the number of words. Dongda University requires the most, 5,000 words, while Nagoya University only requires 2,000 words.
