I. Application Process of Japanese Colleges and Universities
1. Check it on your favorite school homepage. Look carefully at the registration deadline, college entrance examination requirements, whether to enroll graduate students, and whether graduate students need exams or interviews. Graduate students from Osaka University School of Arts and some colleges of Tokyo University need to take the exam.
2. Find the email address of your favorite professor.
3, write a self-introduction, write your basic situation clearly, but also write why you want to study this major, why you want to talk to this professor, and what topic you want to study (this is very important! ), when to apply for graduate school, etc ... This stage may be difficult, and many professors will receive many rejection letters if they don't reply.
4. The professor wrote back and communicated with you for several rounds. I'm interested in taking you. Generally, at this stage, the professor depends on your research plan, which is the outline of your research topic, similar to the outline of your graduation thesis, including research background, research purpose, research content and research methods.
5. The professor will accept you and give you Neno (that is, verbal commitment).
There is a risk here. If you apply too late, the number of graduate students admitted by professors will be full, and you won't be able to get in. However, you applied early. Although you were relieved to get the professor's Neno early, during this time, it also gave the professor the opportunity and time to change his mind. This situation is rare, but it does exist.
6. It's time to make a wish. The professor will give you a wish list. Send materials (transcripts, diplomas, resumes, deposit certificates, etc.). ) by post.
7. If the books pass the examination, start to check in. Usually the school will help you, but you need to fill out the application form and post photos. If you have an acquaintance in Japan, you can ask him to print photos and fill out forms for you, so you can save a sum of postage for international express delivery.
8. Check-in qualifications, apply for visas and prepare luggage.
9. Get a visa and buy a plane ticket.
10, fly to Japan.
Second, the application conditions of famous Japanese universities and colleges
Graduated from a famous domestic school
This is also an important indicator, because if the applicant's graduate school is a first-class institution in China, such as 2 1 1 985, the tutor will be impressed and the success rate of application will naturally be better. It's not that students with two or three books can't apply for a good school, but that students from famous schools have an advantage.
Reasonable professional requirements
What major to study in Japan is also a big problem. There are very good majors in China, and it is of course best to continue studying in Japan, but some students want to change their majors, and some students who study languages (such as English and Japanese) don't want to continue studying languages in Japan. For such students, it is best to have a clear understanding and choose a suitable major rationally.
English score
Some famous universities in Japan, such as Tokyo University and Kyoto University, all have certain requirements for English. Students with good English scores have great advantages and are a stepping stone to super-class prestigious schools. There are also some majors, such as business and computer, which have higher requirements for English. It's not impossible without English, but with English, you will certainly be even more powerful, and the possibility of entering a famous Japanese school will be much greater.
The writing of excellent documents
Documentary materials mainly include resumes, letters of recommendation, research plans, etc., all of which are relatively learned. Japan applied for the tutorial system, so the intention of the tutor directly determines your admission result, so students must find ways to make their documents stand out and impress the tutor.
Third, the application advantages of Japanese colleges and universities
Japanese universities and colleges are generally divided into two types. The first is a monk (master), who can publish his graduation thesis in two years; The second is a doctor, who can publish his graduation thesis in three years; (Generally speaking, the above two must be graduates from regular domestic colleges and universities, and they are eligible to apply with diplomas and degree certificates, and generally do not need to apply. )
The third is a graduate student who graduated from a university. In fact, graduate students are what we call auditees. Generally, you need to apply, and some good Japanese universities have exams and interviews.
The tuition fee of Japanese public universities is the same, about 530 thousand yen/year. Private ones are generally two or three times as large as Japanese public ones. Some private liberal arts will be cheaper, about 900 thousand yen/year. Generally speaking, it is difficult to change majors in a college, but it is not impossible. For example, if you come from a Japanese background and want to take an economics exam, you only need to pass the economics exam.
If you can get into a good university, you may not have much time to work and earn money, because you have to defend and publish and write papers every week. If you are an ordinary Japanese university, you can accumulate work experience and improve your Japanese level, so that even if you finally return to China, you will have a good major.
Some advantages of Japanese universities are as follows: the master's degree of famous public schools in Japan is extremely high and recognized in the world;
100 Japanese public universities and their professional advantages are available for application; After entering the master's program of Japanese public universities, tuition fees can be reduced or even completely exempted; You can enjoy free Japanese learning and professional guidance from gold medal instructors when you enter the university; Legal work-study programs can earn wages several times higher than those in China; After graduation, you can be recommended by your tutor to work in a Japanese company and get a work visa;
Highly educated projects, no financial guarantee; The cost of studying abroad is extremely low, and the dream of studying in Japan can be realized at about 6,543,800 yuan.
