Schools in Japan are divided into public and private schools.
The seven most outstanding public universities are collectively called the seven imperial universities. They are Tokyo University, Kyoto University, Tohoku University, Nagoya University, Osaka University, Hokkaido University and Kyushu University. These seven universities are first-class comprehensive universities with strong fields. In addition, Kobe University is famous for its oceanography and its comprehensive strength is also very strong, which can also be considered.
The best private universities are Waseda University and Keio University. However, these two schools are better in social science, but not so good in natural science, so don't consider it.
If you want to apply for a master's degree in a national or public university in Japan, you need to study for six months to one year as a graduate student (equivalent to a preparatory course). Then take the school exam. If you pass the exam, you will officially start the monk course (equivalent to the master's course in China), and you can get the monk's degree (master's degree) two years later.
If you want to go to Japan for a master's degree, you must first have a certain foundation in Japanese or English. Nowadays, many schools teach in English. If you want to apply for English teaching, you must have TOEFL scores, and some schools recognize IELTS or TOEFL. TOEFL is recognized by almost every school. If you want to teach in Japanese, then Japanese for liberal arts majors must pass the international level 1, and science majors must at least pass the international level 2.
Then, in addition to the school report card and the teacher's recommendation letter, the most important thing is to prepare a detailed research plan, which is what you want to study in the master's course stage, a bit like the opening report of the master's thesis. This research project is so important that professors attach great importance to it. If your research plan is innovative, the professor will be interested in guiding you.
After preparing your personal data and research plan, you will contact the professor and ask him to accept you as a graduate student (preparatory course). After the professor allows you to be his graduate student, go to Japan to study for one to six months and take the entrance examination for master's courses. Under normal circumstances, since the professor promised to accept you as a graduate student, the master's entrance examination will not embarrass you unless your grades are really poor. Generally, the preparation for contacting the professor will start one year in advance.
Contact professors can be entrusted to an intermediary, so the success rate will be very good, and the intermediary can help you find the right school and the right tutor according to your comprehensive conditions. The agency fee is generally around 6000.
If you graduated from a university of 2 1 1 with an average score above 80, you have a good chance to apply to a first-class university.
In fact, it takes a little luck to go to Dongda University. If your research plan happens to be appreciated by the teacher of Dongda University, you will have a chance to go to Dongda University. Three domestic graduates successfully applied to Dongda University.
Finally, I wish you success and start preparing early.
