1, the difference between language schools and other disciplines
Language school is a teaching stage before university. Generally, these schools are recognized by the Japan Promotion Agency, but they are actually educational institutions, and other subjects are a kind of course offered by private universities. For those students who want to study in our school, the main teaching content is Japanese education, which is actually a Japanese course attached to the university. For other subjects, you can go directly to the university affiliated to this subject without tuition. Language schools and other disciplines are actually very similar in function, that is, there will be differences in time and course guidance.
2. The difference between a university and a major.
In Japan, there are not only universities, but also colleges specializing in short-term universities. Like universities, these schools only accept high school graduates, but the time, teaching content and degrees obtained by students are different. Major, medical major and university are all six-year programs, while other majors are four-year programs, and students get bachelor's degrees. There are also two-year programs in the short term, and students get an associate degree. In this way, universities attach importance to the teaching of knowledge, professional courses attach importance to the teaching of skills, and short-term universities are in between, and both knowledge and skills belong to their teaching focus.
3. The difference between graduate students and universities.
The "graduate students" here in Japan are not at the same stage as the graduate students we know. Graduate students in Japan are those who are engaged in research or research-related activities in universities or graduate schools. These students will not get a degree after completing the course because they are auditees. What we know about graduate students here in Japan refers to students who are studying monk courses, also known as college students. These college students need to study for a master's degree in school for two years, or they can finish their master's degree and then study for a doctor's degree for three years. Because many students now think that studying here in Japan will give them a better chance to enter universities in the future, the number of students studying here has increased a lot in recent years.
