4. Q: Are Japanese universities stronger in liberal arts or science and engineering?
A: Science and engineering are the strengths of Japanese universities.
The background of the establishment and rise of Japanese national universities is the Meiji Restoration. In line with the concept of military power, mechanical research is the main object of professional development in Japanese universities. Therefore, science and engineering are the strengths of Japanese universities, that is, even Japanese engineering is the top major in the world. Relatively speaking, the status of liberal arts and business in the world is not as high as that of science and engineering, which is related to the development of modern Japanese history.
The disciplines involved in general comprehensive national universities involve literature, science, engineering, agriculture, medicine, sea and other disciplines, and the disciplines are relatively rich. For China students studying science and engineering in Japan, it is relatively easy to apply at most.
5. Q: What is the cost of living in Japan? Can you be self-sufficient if you work?
A: Generally, Tokyo and Osaka cost about1.2-200,000 yen a month, and other regions cost about 70,000-90,000 yen, so they can be self-sufficient by working.
The main consumption is renting a house. The extra expenses of boys are mainly to buy cars and refuel in parking spaces, while the extra expenses of girls are even more wasteful.
If it is a part-time job, children with good language, good personality and willingness to endure hardships can earn about 1.8 million yen-300,000 yen a month in Osaka, Tokyo, and about 1- 1.5 million yen in other areas, so most students will have more holidays, so as long as they are not very materialistic.

8. Q: How can I apply for a master's degree and a doctor's degree at my own expense? What is the application process?
A: Most self-funded international students attend the preparatory course first (according to their own ability, they can also take the entrance examination directly).
Students who want to enroll in the preparatory school need to contact the tutor first, and then mail the application materials to the academic affairs offices of various research departments after obtaining permission. After that, students will get admission permits and certificates of residence qualifications, and they can apply for visas with these materials.
9. Q: What materials do I need to submit to contact the tutor?
A: Research plan, resume, report card, tutor's recommendation letter, graduation certificate or preparatory certificate, Japanese (English) ability certificate, etc.
10, q: can I register for the entrance examination for master's degree and doctor's degree directly without going to the preparatory course?
A: Theory is reliable, but practice is difficult.
Because of the relationship between the visa and the entrance examination, and considering that everyone's level and ability may not meet the requirements, it is difficult to pass the interview of the research plan without the guidance of the teacher, so most students still enter the preparatory course first. The tuition fee for the preparatory course is very cheap: the entrance examination fee is 9,800 yen, the entrance fee is 84,600 yen, and the tuition fee is 29,700 yen per month, totaling about 20,000 RMB for half a year.
