First, the requirements of learning English in Japan
Different colleges and majors have different requirements for English. Even for the same major, different institutions have different requirements for English.
Remind everyone that even institutions that need to submit English scores have different requirements for English scores. Some institutions only require proof of English proficiency, while others will write down the score requirements.
When making a wish, the requirements for English scores are not fixed, but related to schools and majors. For example, the TOEFL 95+ of the University of Tokyo will be safer, and the 70+ of schools above March will be more competitive.
Of course, there are still some colleges and universities that have no clear requirements for English scores when making wishes. For such institutions, if they have English scores, they can actively apply for the exam and may be qualified. When applying for colleges and universities, you must confirm the "wishes" of the intended school.
Second, Japan's undergraduate admission channels
Language school transition
This is a common way for high school students to study in Japan, and they apply to study in Japan through Japanese language schools. On the one hand, going to a language school will definitely improve your Japanese listening, speaking, reading and writing skills. On the other hand, language schools also have some tutoring courses for high school students. After passing the language school, I'm going to take the Japanese Foreign Student Examination (EJU).
Take the international students' exam and the on-campus exam directly.
Nowadays, more and more students pay attention to the importance of preparation before studying abroad, and put the preparation of EJU at home, making preparations earlier than other students, which greatly saves the time cost and economic cost of preparing for the exam in Japan. Students can apply for a tourist visa during the examination time to participate in the study abroad examination and the on-campus examination of the intended school. This method is recommended for students who are very good at Japanese and have strong professional ability to try.
Apply for the project of SGU English Teaching Department in Japan.
In short, the G30/SGU program is taught in English. When you apply to study in Japan, you don't need Japanese scores, and you don't need to take the EJU exam. However, students are generally required to provide scores of SAT, TOEFL and IELTS. Students with poor English level are not recommended to try. In addition, it should be noted that not all universities offer English teaching programs, so the universities and majors that teach English are limited.
Apply for university subjects.
Other subjects are somewhat similar to the English and American preparatory courses. It is a Japanese course offered by Japanese universities for Japanese students, but there is no guidance for further studies. The establishment of other disciplines is basically private universities, and there are even fewer public universities in China. After entering other subjects, it does not mean that you can enter this school one year later, and compared with language schools, there are certain requirements for students' language ability when entering the school, and interviews may be needed.
Third, the introduction of study abroad time planning in Japan
June to September:
After the examination for studying abroad in Japan, private universities began to accept applications, especially those who applied for the entrance examination earlier, such as Aoyama University, Gakuen University and Waseda University. The time after studying in Japan in June is very important. Try your best to prepare for the entrance exam.
On the other hand, voluntary schools are students from private universities and state universities, and the entrance examination is relatively late. Before June 5438+065438+ 10, you can concentrate on preparing for the Japanese study abroad exam. In addition, voluntary schools need TOEFL or TOEFL scores, and students can use the summer vacation to test this score.
65438+1October-165438+1October:
Generally speaking, universities that register late pay more attention to the test results of Japanese study abroad test in June 5438+065438+ 10, and there are many schools with late test dates. So during this time, I suggest you prepare for the Japanese study abroad exam.
1 1 month later:
During this period, only the national university entrance examination is left, and the results of the entrance examination are also very important final results. Don't worry about the results of the Japanese study abroad exam. After studying in Japan, make good use of this time to prepare for the final entrance exam.
Fourth, the advantages of Japanese undergraduate study abroad
The quality of education is very good
Japan's education, like Europe and America, advocates lenient entry and strict exit. Japanese education advocates that the university stage is the best stage for students to learn professional knowledge. During this period, students will learn a lot of knowledge and skills needed in their work.
cost advantage
Japan has a relatively high neutral price among all countries studying abroad. It is also a world-class university, and the cost of studying in Japan is one-half or even one-third of that in Britain and the United States, so studying in Japan can be said to be the best choice for students. There are many kinds of scholarships in Japan. In addition to the scholarships provided by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, there are also scholarships from major consortia, regions and individuals. For international students with excellent grades, they can also apply for a corresponding reduction or exemption of university tuition fees, or even apply for tuition fees.
Geographical culture
The distance between Japan and China is very close. It takes less than three hours to fly from China to Japan, and the time difference between China and Japan is only one hour. When students communicate with relatives and friends in Japan, they will not be bothered by jet lag. At the same time, many Japanese cultures originated from China, so there are many cultural similarities between China and Japan. It is easier for China students to integrate into Japanese society. In addition, there is not much difference in living habits between China and Japan, so students will not have much trouble in eating and living.
