Application requirements
To apply for a Japanese graduate school, you need to prepare a series of materials, including undergraduate achievement certificates, school materials, research plans, etc. In addition, you need to have a formal education background of 16, and your education should reach the undergraduate level.
entrance examination
The entrance examinations for Japanese universities are mainly organized by the schools themselves, and the requirements for hard grades in Japanese and English are flexible. Engineering majors such as architecture, civil engineering, roads and bridges may need Japanese 1 and English Band 4.
Professor-led system
Japan's graduate schools implement a professor-led system, and professors in charge of laboratories have greater decision-making power. So you need to go to Japan as a language school student first, and then get in touch with the professor by mail or letter to get an interview. Once the two sides reach a consensus, you can enter the research room for internship (internship) for about half a year, and then take the postgraduate entrance examination and become a formal graduate student.
Selection of laboratory
When choosing a laboratory, you need to observe whether there are other international students in the laboratory, because too many or too few international students may affect your application success rate. At the same time, some research laboratories in engineering and science are more inclined to recruit students from five-year program to doctoral stage, rather than students who only study for master's degree.
Apply for raiders
Although self-taught candidates face some challenges when applying for Japanese graduate schools, they still have the opportunity to realize their dream of studying abroad as long as they are fully prepared and have proper strategies. In the application process, we need to pay attention to the application requirements, entrance examination, professor-led system, research room selection and other details.
