1. Conditions and ways for art students to apply for studying in Japan
First, the conditions for studying in Japanese art
1, language ability
Art students studying in Japan have higher requirements for Japanese than for culture and English. Most schools have no rigid requirements for English and culture courses, and the requirements in Japan will be lower than those of ordinary culture students.
2. Portfolio
This is an important material that art students need to submit when applying, and it is also the most important position among all materials. Due to the different personal styles and preferences of professors, the evaluation criteria for art collections are also different. The difficulty is that there is no clear test standard, so students should have targeted combination training.
In order to better understand the styles and preferences of professors, art students usually choose language schools with artistic guidance, such as Meros, Midori, Waseda EDU and Yokohama Design. These schools are quite effective in helping students' portfolios.
3. Choice of institutions
Universities with art majors in Japan are divided into comprehensive universities, art universities and specialized schools. As the name implies, comprehensive universities are easy to understand, such as Central Academy of Fine Arts, China Academy of Fine Arts, various conservatories of music and various drama schools.
Specialized schools exist like gods in Japan, where they are very professional and can really learn skills and skills or crafts. Our country does not recognize the academic qualifications of junior colleges.
4. Entrance examination
Generally, Japanese art universities have their own separate exams. All subjects passed the * * * exam, including "essay writing", "interview" and "art exam" (taking the visual communication department as an example, the three-hour sketch exam and the three-hour color composition exam). Generally, they are required to bring some of their own works in the interview, and some schools have to submit their own works in the written application materials. Japanese ability plays a very important role in the interview, and the professor will judge whether the students can successfully complete the tasks assigned by the teacher and communicate with their classmates according to their listening and speaking ability.
In terms of entrance examination, Japan and China are basically similar, and the assessment criteria for cultural courses are relaxed to ensure that the corresponding Japanese proficiency and Japanese scores are kept.
Some majors, such as architecture and industrial design, need cultural courses in addition to Japanese and professional courses.
A collection of works, sketches, etc. It is also the key point, which requires systematic and centralized training to meet the requirements.
Step 5 interview
This is also a necessary and important link. First, students should be tested to have a good comprehensive level of Japanese, including speaking and listening. In addition, they should have their own opinions on their own works. Take art as an example, they should not only be able to speak, but also be able to express their creative ideas and ideas.
Second, the Japanese art study abroad way

Get a bachelor's degree after graduation and take a master's degree directly. Most private art universities have incorporated it into the system.
2. First, apply for a Japanese language school. Japanese meets the requirements of the university, and directly takes the postgraduate exam, that is, the master's preparatory course.

2. Various degrees you need to know to study in Japan.
1, bachelor degree
Corresponding to the domestic undergraduate diploma, the academic system is 4 years, and some departments have 6 years.
Generally speaking, if you graduate with credits in the education courses prescribed by the university, you will be recognized as a "bachelor". In addition to graduating from college, if you pass the examination conducted by the independent administrative legal person "University Reform Support and Degree Granting Institution", you can also be recognized as a "bachelor".
2. Godsworn
It is equivalent to a master's degree in China, and "friar" refers to a degree obtained after completing a friar course in a university. Monk course, also known as "doctoral preparatory course", is the stage before entering doctoral course. Therefore, monks are positioned as higher degrees after doctors.
3. Doctor
"Doctor" is one of the degrees. There are two ways to get a doctorate. The first is to complete the doctoral program of the university, and the second is the situation that the papers submitted to the university are recognized by the paper review.
By the way, the doctor who completed the doctoral program is called "course doctor" and the doctor who passed the thesis review is called "thesis doctor". In the general number of doctors, the word "A" will be appended to "course doctor" and the word "B" will be appended to "thesis doctor".
4. Short-term college students
"Short-term bachelor's degree" refers to the degree obtained after short-term university graduation. Before heisei 17, short-term college graduates were awarded "associate degree" In heisei 17, Japan revised the school education law, and the degree obtained by short-term university graduates became short-term bachelor, which can also be referred to as "short-term master". If it is a university that recognizes a short-term bachelor's degree, it also has the opportunity to be merged into the university.
5. Specialist
"Specialist" refers to the professional title obtained after graduation after studying in a specialized course in a junior college for more than 2 years. "College" and "short-term bachelor" are almost the same academic certificate, so it is also possible to merge into the university.
6. Highly specialized
"Highly specialized" refers to the title obtained after graduation after studying in a specialized school for more than 4 years. In Japan, "high specialization" and university graduation are the same proof, so it is recognized as a university.
Many technical industries in Japan are very optimistic about "specialists" and "highly specialized professionals". In Japanese law, "junior college" and "short-term bachelor" have the same academic status, and "bachelor" and "advanced junior college" have the same academic status. Therefore, many students who choose to attend specialized schools often stay in Japan for development after graduation.
However, in China, "specialists" have never been certified. With the renewal of the scope of certification for many times, although it can be certified now, it is only equivalent to a domestic specialty, and its use is not that great.
3. List of luggage preparation for studying in Japan
First, the essential class
1, certificate
Before you leave, make sure that you have all the documents you must bring. You must confirm whether your ticket and passport are still on the way. Because you have to show your residence certificate and related permission application to enter Japan, you should also bring these materials. In addition, the diagnosis certificate and your own certificate are together, which is convenient to hold and not easy to lose.
2. seals
In Japan, seals are actually necessary, so everyone should be prepared before leaving. In Japan, many things need to be stamped, such as going to a bank to do business or renting a house by yourself. Of course, the seal must also be properly kept, otherwise it will be very troublesome to lose it.
3. Cash
When students first arrive in Japan, it is necessary to bring some cash, but not too much. This is enough to pay their living expenses for the first month or two, about 300 thousand yen. If you want to rent a house or buy things you need in life, you can bring more. The change is also about 1-20000 yen, which is convenient for you to use when buying an electronic ticket. If you really don't have enough, you can change it at the airport or convenience store.
Second, the life class
1 clothes
Generally speaking, if it is a Japanese brand, it will be much cheaper here in Japan, and you don't need to bring too much. You can bring a few thinner clothes in spring and summer to change for yourself, and one or two clothes like coats in autumn and winter are enough. Shoe prince is not expensive to buy in Japan, but in order to cope with all kinds of emergencies, leather shoes and sports shoes are all carried with you. The most important thing in the preparation of clothes is to have a formal suit, because in Japan, as long as it is a more formal occasion, such as the opening ceremony or the student's defense, you must wear a formal suit.
2. medicine
It is inevitable that students will get sick when they study abroad alone, so they should bring some common medicines in their luggage, such as cold medicine and cough medicine, but it is not necessary to bring over-the-counter medicines, which can also be bought here. In addition, in Japan, foreign students can participate in their health insurance, and only need to pay some fees every year, so they only need to pay 30% of the medical expenses for seeing a doctor, so this health insurance must be purchased.
The mental health of college students is not only the foundation of their success, but also an important task of university education, and i
