Japanese universities study monk courses, doctoral courses, postgraduate courses, lecturer courses and trainee courses.

1, monk course:

For example, a master's program in China, which takes two years after graduation from a university or above, is called a "monk course". If you submit a friar's thesis and pass the examination, you can get a friar's degree.

2. Doctoral courses:

The five-year doctoral program is "the first two years and the last three years". The entrance qualification is exactly the same as the monk course. For example, the Economics Research Department of the University of Tokyo does not have a friar course, but a five-year doctoral program. After two years of study, it is called "doctoral preparatory course".

Postdoctoral program: After completing the friar degree or postdoctoral program and studying for three years, it is called "postdoctoral program", and it is allowed to submit a doctoral thesis and pass the exam, and then get a doctoral degree.

3. Postgraduate courses:

This system is a unique phenomenon in Japan, which is different from regular students. They are not allowed to take credits, but only do research on specific topics. Due to different universities, the qualifications are not the same.

Three graduates from the Fifth Academy, monks and doctors are eligible to apply. Before entering a university to become a formal course student, most universities stipulate that they must apply for admission as "graduate students".

There is no need to go through the examination procedures to apply for "postgraduate" admission. You only need to show the required documents, get the professor's permission in the lecture "research room" you want to enter, and then get the "admission permission" after the professor's meeting. Students with this status can obtain the qualification of "international students".

4. Lecturer and student courses:

Attend the handouts of formal student courses as informal students, who can't get a degree. Listening students are not allowed to take credits and subjects. Students can take credits, and their entrance qualifications and examination selection methods are the same as those of regular international students, but in order to obtain the qualification of "studying abroad", they need to attend classes for more than 10 hours per week.
