1. The two biggest topics in applying for graduate studies in Japan are language and professional knowledge. In terms of language, science students have to reach the second grade to be eligible to apply directly to Japanese universities. In terms of professional knowledge, you need to master the basic knowledge of your own professional field. On this basis, you can have your own opinions and future research direction planning, so that professors are willing to accept you as a graduate student (that is, an auditor) or even a college student (that is, a graduate student). Therefore, it is suggested that you plan your study plan, improve your Japanese level and learn professional knowledge during your stay in China, and you'd better start collecting materials and books of Japanese professors you are interested in. If you know the professional direction and philosophy of the professors you want to apply for, it is easy to fall in love with them.

2. Before entering public universities in China, it is suggested that the transition of language and professional basic knowledge should be carried out through excellent language schools in Japan, because even Japanese majors who have completed the 1 exam in China cannot guarantee that they can understand the professor's lectures as soon as they arrive in Japan, communicate with the Japanese without obstacles and integrate well into Japanese life. Therefore, the language school stage is a good stage to improve one's Japanese level, strengthen professional knowledge and gradually understand and adapt to Japanese society. Moreover, for the choice of schools, you can only collect information through the internet in China, but when you go to Japan, you will get more intuitive information, and then you will be more confident in choosing schools and professors that really suit you.

3. People who have a Japanese first-class certificate are eligible to apply directly, but many Japanese graduates will choose to transition to a language school first, which depends on your personal choice after weighing the pros and cons. You can look at the articles in cscdf undergraduate column of Sina Oriental Blog in our department, such as the current situation and attempts of domestic undergraduates to go to Japan for graduate studies, and the advantages and disadvantages of directly applying for graduate programs in Japan.
