This is the most important point in choosing a university. What do you want to study in Japan? If this question is not clear from the beginning, it will cause great trouble to the later application. After defining your own direction, you should look for your favorite university departments and disciplines.

Study abroad expenses

This is something that students and parents are more concerned about. Bian Xiao suggested choosing according to one's economic ability. For example, some private universities of science and engineering have to pay more than 2 million yen in the first academic year alone, while some private liberal arts universities have reduced or exempted outstanding students, paying less than 500 thousand yen a year. The proportion of tuition fee remission and the number of scholarships required by universities are different, which needs to be carefully understood in advance.

University location and transportation

Confirm the location of Japanese universities in advance. The metropolitan area is the center of Japan, with a complex living environment and a lot of information. Local cities are quieter and more comfortable than the metropolitan area, so they can concentrate on their studies and have more contact with regional society. However, convenient transportation is very important in both big cities and places. It should be investigated, including: where is the nearest station and how long it will take from where you want to live to school.

Study abroad test and Japanese proficiency test

Some universities take the "Examination for Studying in Japan" and "Japanese Proficiency Test" implemented by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology as their registration conditions. The prescribed test subjects and test time (the Japanese study abroad test is in June and June, 165438+ 10) are different from university to university. Some people who fail to pass the exam can only choose universities that don't require "being tested" (entrance examination), but in this case, they can't pass the exam without a considerable level of Japanese ability.
