1. Postgraduates in Japanese public universities are conceptually different from those in China. In Japan, a master's degree is called a monk, and a graduate student is equivalent to a preparatory course for monks. Generally, international students pass the postgraduate study for half a year to one year, enter the friar course after passing the friar entrance examination, and graduate to get the friar degree two years later.
The graduate students in Japan are decided by the tutor, which means that the school will not allow admission until the tutor agrees to admit you. The application needs to provide a degree certificate, research plan, professional course results, graduation thesis, proof of foreign language ability, etc. But the key to your application is your research plan, which directly reflects your research direction and research ability. Because of the differences in academic thinking between China and Japan, many people failed to apply because the research plan did not meet the requirements of the tutor.
3. If the language requirements are met, general science and engineering majors need to meet N3, liberal arts majors need to meet N2, and Japanese requirements can be fully met in China. There is no need to go to a language school, and postgraduate courses include intensive Japanese courses for international students. If you want to apply for a better public university in China, you'd better provide English TOEFL scores.
Almost all public universities in Japan have related liberal arts colleges, so you need to know your own situation before you can give the range of choices. It's best to introduce your details, such as your school background, your usual grades, your foreign language level (Japan and Britain), your research direction and topics after going to Japan, and so on.
5. The cost of graduate study in Japanese public universities is very low. The annual tuition fee is about 340,000 yen, once every six months, and one semester is about 1.4 million RMB. Basically, in the first year, you can prepare 70,000-90,000 start-up funds, do part-time jobs, reduce tuition fees and scholarships, and you can bear it yourself.
Tuition fee remission can be divided into 30% exemption, semi-exemption and full exemption, and full exemption is rare. Generally, you can apply if your study is not too bad.
There are too many kinds of scholarships, and the amount and requirements are different. You need to pay more attention to the application time and conditions after you arrive in Japan.
