Liberal arts and science education
The classification of Japanese universities' liberal arts departments is different from China's "four-legged" discipline classification standard of literature, science, engineering and business. Japan's discipline system is divided into three categories: liberal arts, science and integration of arts and sciences. Liberal arts mainly refers to politics, economy and culture, while science mainly refers to natural science and applied science.
Economics: As a representative discipline of Japanese liberal arts, the main purpose of economics is to study the economic activities of the whole society and how to rationally use and allocate effective resources.
Engineering: refers to the general term of engineering disciplines.
Law: mainly studies law, legal phenomena and various problems related to law.
Business: I mainly study career strategy, management and accounting.
Pharmacy: refers to the discipline that specializes in the study of drugs.
Neo-Confucianism: mainly focuses on the study of natural science. It is definitely a popular major in studying in Japan.
First, combine your future goals. In addition, combine your major you want to study.
The misunderstanding of choosing a major for studying abroad in Japan: be careful when changing the text.
Many students choose liberal arts majors because of their poor foundation in science. This idea is actually incorrect. Liberal arts subjects should not only recite a lot of professional knowledge, but also increase their knowledge through a lot of reading. Choosing liberal arts just because one's science foundation is poor means spending more time reading more liberal arts professional knowledge.
There are many famous universities in Japan, which not only require candidates to have certain mathematical and logical thinking and calculation ability, but also have extremely high requirements for English, Japanese and other language subjects. The requirement of language ability for liberal arts majors is much higher than that for science majors.
Choice of arts and sciences
I. Considerations
First: combine your future goals.
What you want to do in the future and what your dream career is are important considerations in choosing a major. For example, if you want to be a doctor, you must have professional knowledge in mathematics and biology, and it is best to enter a medical-related department.
However, in many cases, majors and occupations are not necessarily related, so we should start with "what knowledge is necessary to choose a major" to decide what major to choose. In short, it is an ideal shortcut to define your goals and determine your major through them.
Second: combine what you want to learn.
If you haven't decided your future goals, then think about "what I want to learn"! In recent years, Japan's liberal arts department has gradually been favored by the majority of candidates. For example, information culture, comprehensive information science and economics. Candidates can find their interested subjects and universities, and then decide what major to choose.
The misunderstanding of choosing a major: be careful when changing the text.
Many students choose liberal arts majors because of their poor foundation in science. This idea is actually incorrect. Liberal arts subjects not only need to recite a lot of professional knowledge, but also need to increase their knowledge through a lot of reading. Choosing liberal arts just because one's science foundation is poor means spending more time reading more liberal arts professional knowledge.
Moreover, the liberal arts majors in most famous universities not only require candidates to have certain mathematical and logical thinking and calculation ability, but also have extremely high requirements for language subjects such as English and Japanese. The requirement of language ability for liberal arts majors is much higher than that for science majors. Therefore, Mr. Shao, a Japanese student studying in Ann, responsibly reminds science candidates to be cautious when choosing transfer papers.
Second, hot topics
Economics: As a representative discipline of Japanese liberal arts, the main purpose of economics is to study the economic activities of the whole society and how to rationally use and allocate effective resources.
Business: I mainly study career strategy, management and accounting.
Law: mainly studies law, legal phenomena and various problems related to law.
Engineering: refers to the general term of engineering disciplines.
Pharmacy: refers to the discipline that specializes in the study of drugs.
Neo-Confucianism: mainly focuses on the study of natural science.
In a word, the first condition for choosing a major is to know yourself, understand your interests and clarify your purpose, so that you can find a major that suits you in the complicated department.
Arts and sciences examination
First of all, science
Japanese (400 points): Test the Japanese coping ability when attending classes in Japanese universities.
Science (200 points): Test the basic academic ability of studying science in Japanese universities.
Science Mathematics (200 points): Test the basic mathematical ability necessary for taking classes in Japanese universities.
(Among them, physics, chemistry and biology are two of the three. Generally, physics and chemistry are chosen, but depending on your major, biology is sometimes needed. Economics, literature and psychology belong to liberal arts, while engineering, science, medicine and pharmacy belong to science. Regardless of arts and sciences, applying for domestic public universities generally requires English TOEFL scores. There is no specific score requirement for TOEFL scores, but the higher the score, the better to apply for a university. )
Second, liberal arts.
Japanese (400 points): Test the Japanese coping ability of Japanese universities.
Comprehensive subject (200 points): Test the basic performance of liberal arts in Japanese universities.
Liberal arts mathematics (200 points): Test the basic mathematics ability necessary for Japanese universities to attend classes.
