First, the choice of Japanese majors studying in Japan
Now let me analyze the professional direction you can apply for. You can apply for liberal arts majors, divided into literature and culture, education and education.
1, literature and culture: the major division of literature and culture is relatively fine, and they are basically old-fashioned majors with a long history. Ideological direction-philosophy; Metaphysics; Religious studies; The historical direction of aesthetic analysis (and art)-Japanese domestic history; Language direction of foreign history (including archaeology and anthropology)-language major (divided into Japan and foreign countries); Literature major (divided into Japan and abroad) action culture-psychology; Sociology major (some universities also put the media research direction in sociology) (these directions are called by different universities, but mainly sociology)
2. Similar to literature, there is another major in the field of education. Most majors in pedagogy are relatively new professional fields, but their nature, division and professional content are vague, and they basically take "cultural science" as the general direction. Transcendental culture-(this kind of direction is the science of some cultural phenomena beyond geographical restrictions) anthropology (some schools also divide this kind of specialty into cultural specialty) comparative culture specialty; Representative study of regional culture-unique cultural research in each region, comprehensive social-international relations; Media Studies
3. Education: This kind of direction can be regarded as a better professional direction for China students (Japanese Department) to apply for study. Science education-Mandarin (Japanese); Mathematics; English; History; Geography; Politics (a teacher-training course focusing on training foreigners to teach Japanese and various sciences) pedagogy-educational psychology; Educational administration (management direction)
Second, ways to study abroad for Japanese majors
1, language school transition
Although the Japanese teaching level of domestic training institutions has made great progress in recent years, domestic language learning is mostly "crash" with strong utilitarian color, and the ultimate goal of language training is to test the relevant level. Therefore, even if students get Grade 2 or 1 in limited class hours, they often cannot represent their true Japanese level. Due to the lack of necessary language environment, students' listening and speaking ability is generally weak. Compared with social amateur study, Japanese majors have relatively abundant study time. However, due to the addition of some auxiliary courses and relatively relaxed learning atmosphere, their Japanese level is not much higher than that of amateur learning. At best, I will dabble in Japanese culture and other aspects. Because university courses will add courses such as the history of Japanese literature | a summary of Japan and an introduction to linguistics, I heard that there is still a big problem. Therefore, in principle, it is recommended to choose language school transition.
2. "Admission" transition
For some students with poor professional ability, they can choose "admission" (college-upgraded undergraduate) transition. The purpose of choosing an undergraduate course is to make up for my lack of professional knowledge. 1~2 years transition period, under the premise of greatly improving professional knowledge, you can consider applying for colleges and universities. Choosing a big college to enter the same university is relatively easier to adapt.
3. "Postgraduate" transition
Japanese undergraduate students are often interested in this way, thinking that as long as they become "graduate students", it is like entering the university safe, but it is not. The concept of "graduate student" here is different from that of "graduate student" in China. It belongs to non-academic education. That is, students follow the professor to do related research on a certain topic. Is an informal student, generally translated as "auditor." For students in China, the concept of "graduate students" is mostly understood as the transition from preparatory courses to universities. Generally, the admission of "graduate students" is mainly written, but it must be approved by the tutor in advance, that is, it is necessary to find a good tutor in advance, which brings great disadvantages to some overseas students. With the rapid development of modern communication technology, it seems easy to get in touch with your favorite professor through the internet, but it is doubtful whether the other party is willing to accept you without knowing anything about you. According to my years of experience, there are few successful cases of contacting the applicant in this way without meeting him personally. Applicants often spend a lot of time but get nothing. In the end, many people come back to Japan to study honestly through language schools.
4. Go straight to college.
Due to the limitation of Japanese minority languages and enrollment system, there are very few schools directly enrolling students in China. Few students can skip transfer and go directly to college. Especially for Japanese majors, due to the lack of necessary professional knowledge, it is even less likely to directly enter Japanese universities (except for some poor private universities). Because some college exams usually include Japanese majors in addition to the necessary Japanese proficiency test. For students majoring in Japanese, even if they have a certificate of 1, their Japanese level is very high, and if they want to test related majors in Japanese, there is almost no chance of success. Of course, there are some private universities in Japan, and the examination subjects are mainly Japanese, plus small papers, but most of these universities are ordinary private universities in Japan. If you want to be admitted to a relatively good Japanese university, you generally need different degrees of transition.
