I. Japan's preferential policies for international students There are many kinds of scholarships: Japanese universities have various scholarships, the number of which is second only to that of the United States. To sum up, there are five kinds: scholarships from the Japanese government (the Ministry of Arts and Sciences); Japanese NGO Scholarship; Scholarship for local public organizations in Japan; Scholarships established by some colleges and universities and scholarships for self-funded international students. In recent years, some regions and cities in Japan and other autonomous regions have also opened scholarships.
Tuition fee remission system: Japanese universities have a tuition fee remission system, and both public and private universities in Japan can apply for tuition fee remission and full tuition fee remission. Every year, about 30,000 students can get different degrees of tuition fee remission, of which the government provides subsidies for private universities or short-term universities that do not exceed 30% of tuition fees.
Sound welfare system: Japan implements the national health insurance system, and international students can enjoy the same national health insurance as Japanese after paying a certain amount of insurance money. For example, students registered in Japanese institutions of higher learning can enjoy 80% medical assistance when they get sick or have accidental injuries.
Many students who have learned about studying in Japan know that the Japanese government supports international students to work legally, and they only need to apply for permission for over-qualified activities. The total working hours of ordinary international students in different places each week shall not exceed 28 hours, and the school shall not exceed 8 hours every day during the winter and summer vacations. The hourly wage in Japan is 800 ~ 1500 yen, and international students can relieve the pressure of life through their own labor. Of course, in addition, various tuition fee reductions and various scholarship systems have also enabled students from ordinary families to realize their dream of studying abroad. Therefore, Japan is also known as a cost-effective study abroad country.
Second, the cost of studying in famous Japanese universities is about 1, University of Tokyo.
The University of Tokyo, founded in 1877, is the first national university in Japan and one of the earliest universities in Asia. It is a recognized Japanese university and a world-renowned Asian university. Its predecessor was Tokyo Kaicheng School and Tokyo Medical College founded in Meiji period. The campus of the University of Tokyo is located in bunkyo-ku's hometown in Tokyo, covering an area of 40 square meters, where most of the university institutions are located. In addition, a new campus will be built in Komako, Muhei district, where the Correctional Services Department and some logistics facilities will be located. The University of Tokyo has a collection of 664,665,438+033 volumes, including 365,438+029,050 volumes in western languages, which are stored in the libraries and information centers of more than 60 departments and research institutes of the university and related departments. The central library has nearly 6,543,800 books and 38,600 periodicals, and the whole school orders nearly 200,000 new books every year. The school has three affiliated hospitals with complete disciplines: the affiliated hospital of the Ministry of Medicine, the affiliated branch of the Academy of Medical Sciences and the affiliated hospital of the Academy of Medical Sciences, with a total of 1246 beds.
Due to the complete disciplines, sufficient funds, neat teaching staff and high level of running some traditional disciplines, the teaching and research strength and level of the University of Tokyo are incomparable to other universities in Japan.
University of Tokyo fee
The tuition fee of the University of Tokyo is about 834,800 yen/academic year. Because the consumption level in Tokyo is relatively high, the expenses are relatively high.
2. Kyoto University
Kyoto University is the second national university in Japan after Tokyo University. 1892, 23 members of parliament proposed in a motion to the National Assembly that Japan has only one Tokyo National University, which is not competitive, which is not conducive to running schools and cultivating students. At that time, it was suggested to build a university in Xijing-Kyoto. 1897 was passed and the university was born. At that time, it was called Kyoto Imperial University. When the university was first established, there was only one branch of science and engineering, with 6 majors giving 2/kloc-0 lectures and less than 500 students. Hiroshi Kimura was the first president.
A few years later, three university branches were added: law, medicine and liberal arts. At this time, there are five university branches in the school. Four years later, a new university decree was issued and the branch school was renamed the department. The original law and economics of the law department were separated, and at the same time, they were upgraded to a department. After several years' efforts, agricultural departments and some research institutions have been established one after another, and the school scale has been greatly developed, and the number of students has doubled. After the merger of Kyoto No.3 Middle School, the humanities department was established on this basis, and later developed into today's education department. After the war, according to the new education law, a new system was implemented to abolish the word "imperial" in Imperial University, so as to eliminate the damage and influence of militarism on Kyoto University, including co-education, cleaning up teaching staff, canceling some untimely lectures, adding education departments, pharmacy departments and some research institutes, and postgraduate education has been greatly developed and opened to the outside world. In this way, Kyoto University has become a national comprehensive university with complete disciplines and huge scale, second only to Tokyo University in Japan.
Kyoto university related expenses
The tuition fee of Kyoto University is generally 535,800 yen/year, which is paid in half a semester, that is, 267,900 yen is remitted to the school account in April and 65438+ 10 every year. In addition, freshmen need to pay an additional 282,000 yen. You need to submit verification materials of 30,000 yen to take the college exam.
The cost of law school is slightly higher than that of other research departments. The tuition fee is 804,000 yen per year, and the admission materials are the same.
Students with financial difficulties, including foreign students, can apply for tuition fee remission, and generally they can be exempted from tuition fees by half. Free tuition and admission materials are more difficult.
3. Osaka University
The predecessor of Osaka University can be traced back to the following two institutions: First, a suitable school (also known as a foreign school) specializing in natural science. 1838, Kouan Ogata, president of the school, called some students to teach medicine, and Japanese thinker Fukuzawa Yukichi studied here. Later, medical skill has evolved into a specialized medical school. In the fourth year of Taisho (19 15), the name of "Medical University" was officially used. In 193 1 year, it was officially named Osaka Imperial University, with two departments of medicine and science and technology. 2. Sinology School (also known as Huaidetang), founded in 1924, was funded and operated by businessmen, focusing on humanities, and later became the French Department of Osaka Imperial University. Shortly after the establishment of Osaka Imperial University, Osaka University of Technology, which was developed from Osaka Technical School, was merged into later institutions such as the Ministry of Engineering, the Institute of Microbiology and the Institute of Industrial Science.

Since the school was founded 130 years ago, elites from all walks of life in Japan, especially those from the industrial, commercial and financial circles, have come forth in large numbers and trained a large number of talents for Japan. At present, most of the leaders in Japan's financial circles have graduated from this school and enjoy the reputation of "cradle of financial leaders" in Japan.

3. The reference standard for studying in Japan is 1. Match schools according to their own application conditions.
Know yourself and know yourself, and you will win every battle. Knowing whether the application requirements of a school match our own conditions is related to whether we can apply successfully. The language requirements of the target school, the number of words in the research plan, when to apply, whether there is an interview, what materials are needed, etc. , should be carefully studied.
2. Match the intended major and professor.
It is very important to choose a major that interests you and is suitable for application. The interested teacher is the teacher. Secondly, it is also important to find the right professor. For example, Japan's postgraduate application is a "law professor system". In a school, it is very important to find a professor who matches his application direction and research field.
3. Refer to the ranking of Japanese universities.
Although we don't recommend ranking as a reference standard, we also need to refer to university rankings when choosing Japanese universities. Because after all, on a large scale, the ranking of Japanese universities can help us control the school level. However, it does not rule out those schools with strong strength but low overall ranking, such as hitotsubashi university. Therefore, when choosing Japanese universities, the ranking of schools can be used as reference information.
4, combined with their plans after graduation.
(1) If you want to work in Japan after graduation, it is recommended to choose schools in Tokyo circle first, followed by big cities, and it is not recommended to go to places far away from Tokyo circle. You need to take part in inauguration activities when you graduate. If you choose a local university, you may need to travel back and forth when you need to participate in the inauguration activities.
(2) If you are a student who wants to return to China for employment, the reputation of the school background is very important. Tokyo University, Kyoto University, Osaka University and Kyushu University are recommended, as well as tokyo institute of technology, Waseda University and Keio University.
(3) Students who wish to pursue further studies are advised to enter Japanese public universities. Japanese public universities are basically research-oriented, with high scientific research level, suitable for further study, low tuition fees, and many opportunities for scholarships and tuition reduction. If you like private universities and have sufficient funds for studying abroad, it is also a good choice, depending on your personal needs.
