Second, the basic situation
Higher education institutions in Japan can be divided into three types: national, public and private.
The "big college" in the university is an institution that implements postgraduate education and has the right to award master's degrees (2 years) and doctoral degrees (3 years). In some schools, master's courses and doctoral courses are set separately, and in some schools, master's courses and doctoral courses are set together. The doctoral program is divided into the first two years and the last three years, and the first two years are also considered as master's programs.
"Faculty" is an institution that implements undergraduate education and has the right to award bachelor's degrees. Generally, the undergraduate course is 4 years, and the medical course is 6 years (including dentists and veterinarians, who can directly apply for a 4-year doctor after graduation).
Short-term universities and colleges can only implement junior college education, with a schooling period of 2-3 years, and issue junior college diplomas, but not degrees.
In departments and universities, there are "auditors", "apprentices" and "advanced students" in addition to formal students studying for degrees. None of these three types of students can get a diploma or a degree certificate, and only the credits taken by the "students" are recognized. The department does not recruit "graduate students".
Most higher education institutions in Japan teach in Japanese, and a few courses are taught in English. To study in Japanese universities, it is required that the Japanese International Proficiency Test must reach at least Level 2.
