It is very difficult to apply for studying in Japanese universities directly from China. Generally speaking, you need to go to a language school first, and then pass the examination for foreign students in Japan before you can apply to study in a university. Can a junior apply to study in Japan? What are the requirements for studying in Japan? Answer for everyone.

1. Can a junior apply to study in Japan?

The undergraduate education system of Japanese universities is four years. Students from junior college can start from sophomore and junior according to their grades. Usually, most students can start from junior year, which is called junior year integration.

Students who have finished junior college for three years can generally achieve the goal of upgrading to undergraduate as long as they have a good Japanese level and a professional counterpart. However, the universities that set up juniors only account for a small part of Japanese universities, and the competition is fierce.

More than 90% of Japanese undergraduates from domestic universities need to re-learn the language when they study in Japan. You can also directly apply for "graduate students" in Japanese universities. Japanese majors are often interested in this way. In fact, Japanese graduate students are different from domestic graduate students. Japanese graduate students belong to non-academic education, and students who follow professors to do research on a certain topic belong to informal students. For students in China, the concept of "graduate students" is mostly understood as the transition from preparatory courses to universities.

Master's degree in Japan is a tutor responsibility system. Although I have obtained the postgraduate qualification of the school, I still need to pass the tutor's test to examine my language ability and professional knowledge after studying for six months to one and a half years before I can continue my study. Compared with European and American countries, the cost of studying in Japan is much lower. The annual cost of public universities is about 70,000 yuan, and the cost of studying abroad in private universities ranges from 70,000 yuan to 6,543,800 yuan+0.2 million yuan.

Second, the conditions for studying in Japan

1, college entrance examination.

Whether in Japan or abroad, you need to take the corresponding exams to apply for university entrance. At present, except for a few private universities (such as Fukui University in Tokyo, Fuji University, International Christian University, etc. ), most schools need to go to Japan for written tests and interviews.

The examination content is divided into three parts: English, professional subjects and interview.

Among them, English topics are mainly reading and translation (English-Japanese translation), and you need to master some common words related to your major. In addition, not only English, but also German and French that you are good at.

In terms of professional subjects, the content is mainly based on the basic knowledge of applied majors.

During the interview, the examiner will ask questions around the student's application letter, such as "Why did you choose our school" and "What are your plans after entering the school? What kind of things do you want to learn? " These open-ended questions seem simple, but in fact they need deep thinking. The focus of the interview is mainly to understand the characteristics, motivation and vision of students. For foreign students, of course, students' Japanese ability should also be examined.

2. Introduction to Japan's transfer

Entrance is a unique Japanese name, similar to the placement in China. After graduating from a short-term university or junior college, you can't get an accredited degree, and then enter a regular four-year university junior (or sophomore) to continue your studies and get a degree. For those students who can't meet expectations in one step or have to drop out of school because of necessity, college enrollment has become a curve way to improve their academic qualifications.

The entrance examination of "integration" is more difficult, because there is no "integration" examination for international students in universities, but in most cases, international students must take the same examination as Japanese and face the same examination competition. There are also many differences between Japan's undergraduate system and the system countries. For example, there are "two-year enrollment" and "three-year enrollment". Usually junior year, not major. If you change your major, start enrolling students from your sophomore year.

Third, Japan has recommendation agencies incorporated into the system.
