What should international students pay attention to when taking exams in Japanese universities?
Nowadays, many people choose to go abroad for postgraduate study in order to improve their academic qualifications and strength, and many people also choose to take an examination of Japanese universities. Let's talk about how to get into a Japanese university.

First, the examination process and content

The college entrance examination in Japan is different from ours, and there is no unified postgraduate entrance examination. Each university has its own internal examination, but the steps are similar:

1. Submission (voluntary)

Some schools require students to contact the professor before the exam, that is, to obtain Neno. If students don't get the professor's consent in the end, even if they get high marks in school exams, they can't be admitted. In addition, many schools need to pass the examination before students can take the exam.

2. written test

The written test is generally a test of language and professional content. The languages will be Japanese and English. Some schools require students to take the on-campus exam, but some students need not take the on-campus exam as long as they submit their corresponding language scores. If you want to go to a good school, your TOEFL score should be above 80, which will give you an advantage.

Step 3 interview

The interview is also the most important. Some schools don't need a written test, and interviews are basically necessary. During the interview, several professors will start asking questions according to the research plan made by the students. Moreover, in order to test students' English level, professors may also ask questions in English during the interview, especially for students applying for science and engineering colleges. So everyone must be familiar with their research plan.

Second, the admission schedule

Japanese graduate school exams are generally twice a year, in autumn and spring respectively. Generally speaking, there are more students enrolled and more majors offered in autumn, so you'd better take the exam in autumn. Of course, many schools only arrange exams once a year. Therefore, how students seize the opportunity of examination depends on how their study plans are planned. In the preparation of materials, each university is different, but there are several points to pay attention to:

1, degree certificate, diploma, etc. Must be prepared in China first, generally need to have the official seal of the school, the briefcase must be intact, so as to be a valid certificate. General schools will have types of descriptions in major projects.

2. The recommendation letter is not required by every school, but it must be written in Japanese or English when preparing the recommendation letter.
