First, the Japanese graduate school system
university
Japanese universities generally have departments (departments), universities (graduate schools, research institutes) and other institutions.
The undergraduate education system is generally four years, but the majors of medicine, dentistry and veterinary medicine are six years, and the teaching generally adopts the credit system. After completing certain credits (65,438+024 credits in most universities, 65,438+088 credits in medicine and 65,438+082 credits in veterinary medicine in principle), you can graduate and get a bachelor's degree.
Graduate schools generally have master's courses (generally 2 years) and doctoral courses (generally 3 years, with a maximum of 5 years).
Short-term university
Japan's short-term university system is generally two years, and medical technology, nursing and other disciplines need to be studied for three years. The school mainly focuses on the education of students' skills. Short-term universities are mostly women's short-term universities. Those who have studied for more than 2 years and obtained the necessary credits are awarded a college degree, which can generally be regarded as a college degree in China.
Professional higher education
Japanese universities mainly recruit junior high school graduates with a five-year academic system. College graduates can be awarded associate degree, which can generally be regarded as college degree in China. At present, colleges and universities only accept international students from the fourth grade.
Second, the Japanese graduate school application conditions
Examination qualification
Only four-year undergraduate graduates can apply for graduate students, and undergraduate graduates must hold valid diplomas and degree certificates.
It is very unlikely that individual junior college students, self-taught candidates and students without degree certificates will directly apply for good national and public universities in Japan.
However, these students can go to Japan through language schools first, and then apply for graduate students, which has a great chance of success.
Note: General graduate schools require students to have a bachelor's degree, but some schools do not. Some students have double college degrees. Although the cumulative study period in this case has reached four years, they still do not have the qualifications of Japanese graduate schools.
Requirements for students' Japanese proficiency
The minimum requirement for domestic graduate students to apply for Japan directly is Japanese level 2 or above. However, for liberal arts students, the Japanese level needs to reach the first level. The requirements for students majoring in science are slightly lower, but they also need to reach level 2 or above.
Although in theory, graduate students don't need language scores, from the experience, there are few successful cases in which students who can't speak Japanese apply directly in China.
Average product point
At present, the requirements of Japanese universities for GPA are not too high, but it is necessary to ensure that there are no failed subjects. The Japanese attach great importance to the number of qualified students, but some famous schools still have to ensure that the average score is above 75 because of competition, and it is best not to get lower and lower, and it is best to have an increasing trend.
research project
It can be called a concentrated expression of the ability in Japanese application for studying abroad. The choice of research topics must be very coincident with the tutor in order to get the attention of the tutor. Then the writing of the research plan consists of research background, research purpose, research content, expected results, research methods and references.
Third, the advantages of Japanese graduate students
Campus study
When you successfully apply for postgraduate, you can study in the campus of your volunteer university. For example, a student who successfully applied for a postgraduate degree in Dongda University is doing research with Professor Dongda, surrounded by his classmates and predecessors, and can also use the library of Dongda University to take courses at Dongda University.
Such an ideal environment suitable for monks to prepare for exams can't be achieved by other means.
Main resources
As a graduate student, the professor who participated in the proposition and interview is your teacher, and the predecessors who have passed this school, this college, this major and even this separate entrance examination are all your classmates. When you enter the research room, you will also assign seniors to help students review the monk exam.
Graduate school is a good opportunity for you to get close to the "first-hand learning resources" of various universities.
Cost-effective
Generally, it takes 1~2 years to study for graduate students, and the tuition itself is relatively low and cost-effective.
There are many scholarship programs in Japanese universities, which can be divided into embassy scholarships, Japanese student support institutions scholarships, non-governmental organization scholarships, local public organization scholarships, and university independent scholarships.
Or you can work by yourself, which will reduce the burden a lot. More important than money is to let students have a good adaptation and transition stage before starting the monk course.
