About the entrance examination for graduate schools in Japan

You're awesome! Let these people give you a letter of recommendation!

You should have a bachelor's degree, and you want to take the English-taught course of the G30 program of the Graduate School of Economics in October, right?!

Recommendations:1According to what you said, it should be the deadline in March, this is the deadline for submitting materials, you must strictly abide by it, one minute late, and the materials you did in the early stage will be in vain.

2.The plan mainly highlights what abilities you have in the professional field of economics (what relevant knowledge you have learned, what basic abilities you have in economics and mathematics), what achievements you have (what relevant professional articles and works have you written and published), whether you plan to study in that branch of economics, whether you have a specific topic (if you are not sure that there is a teacher with a relevant research topic, it is best not to write too specifically), what is your understanding of this field or topic, and how you plan to carry out study and research.

3.Letters of recommendation are important, but the recommender must have a relationship with you and must be clearly written in the letter of recommendation. Write the reasons for recommending you from the perspective of the recommender based on their relationship with you.

I don't know if these people are very familiar with you, but if you are not familiar with you, you will generally find a professor in your previous university who knows more about your study and research ability.

4.The G30 plan of the Graduate School of Economics is a unified examination review by the university, and then the qualified candidates are assigned to the supervising professor, which we generally call "unified assignment of affairs", and this system does not require contacting the teacher in advance, because it is not known that the professor will be assigned to it in the end. Of course, as mentioned in 2 above, if you have a goal, the topic in the plan is written according to the tutor, you can also contact the teacher in advance, if you give a good impression to the teacher, the teacher will say something when assigning, and there is a greater hope that the purpose of your designated teacher will be achieved.

Of course, contacting in advance will not help much to pass the unified exam review.

Above, I hope it helps you!

Letters of recommendation are very important and helpful.

Many students want to study in Japan, but before that, we need to understand the exams, and what exams do I need to take to go to a Japanese university? Let's find out. The following is what I have brought to you about the entrance exams for graduate schools for studying in Japan, and I hope it can help you.

1. Japanese Question Type:

This kind of question is based on the level is different, the question type will be different, the common test language text, vocabulary, grammar, reading, listening, it is 60 in each part, any part of which does not reach 19, are considered students to fail, so it may be for students who are biased, slightly lose some advantages, the level is n1-n5.

Preparation: When students prepare. First understand which level you are applying for, usually graduate students, it must be N1 level, if undergraduates are basically N1, of course, it is also divided into majors, if students are applying for science and engineering, they may still need N1 scores.

For some students who do not have a foundation in this area, the preparation period is at least 1 year. In the meantime, when preparing, you should pay attention to doing more past papers, and repeatedly record the wrong past papers, so that it is more appropriate to prepare.

2. Graduate School Entrance Examination.

Question type: The university entrance examination is actually equivalent to an entrance exam, which is divided into two parts: written test and interview. However, depending on the student's major, the papers will be different.

Some students may only have three to five questions in this paper, that is, as long as they have questions in their own professional field, in addition to the professional test, there is also a foreign language English, although many colleges and universities are recognized as a TOEFL score, of course, depending on the actual situation, 80% of colleges and universities do have TOEFL can be exempted from the English test.

Get ready. This suggestion is that you can take a look at some of the previous exam questions, or the teacher recommends reference books for yourself, some key knowledge that you may have, and then ask some seniors about their previous exam experience.

3. Examination for Japanese University Admission for International Students.

Question type: This test is actually a basic evaluation, and the test is also a test of Japanese, but it is different from the Japanese level test, giving 120 minutes, which is to let students write essays, and usually also to test students' Japanese thinking ability and writing ability.

Preparation: In this aspect, because it is a writing part, it is very demanding for students, so that students can write down some of their opinions comprehensively when they practice. Of course, it is important to pursue grammar and Chinese character accuracy, but don't take it too seriously, as long as the writing is organized and not less than 300 words, it will also be graded.

Nowadays, many students choose to study abroad and graduate school in order to improve their academic qualifications, and there are many students who choose to go to Japan for graduate school. Let's talk about the steps of the Japanese graduate school exam.

Japan's graduate school entrance examination does not have a unified entrance examination like ours, and the entrance examination for each university entrance examination is an internal examination, but the overall step is a three-step process.

1. Submission of materials

Some schools require students to get in touch with professors before taking the graduate school exams, and they may not be admitted. The second is to conduct a qualification review, if the student has less than 16 years of education, or has not completed the undergraduate degree, you need to pass the examination before you can take the exam.

2. Written test

The written test is divided into two parts: language and major, and there are also Japanese and English contents, and some schools have their own internal English tests, and some schools do not need to take the internal test as long as the students can submit English scores. Of course, if you want to get into a better university, you must have a TOEFL score of 80 in order to have an advantage. For example, if you want to study information science, you need to complete advanced mathematics and programming and other related courses at the same time.

3. Interview

The interview is also the most important. Some schools may not require a written test, but the interview is bound to be available in every school. Generally, the interview of the graduate school will be conducted by several professors, or even 7-10 examiners will participate in the interview, so it is actually a many-to-one interview.

During the interview, the professor will ask questions based on the research plan written by the student, and in order to determine the student's English proficiency, the professor may also ask questions in English, especially for students who are applying for science and engineering. Therefore, students should not only improve their English, but also familiarize themselves with their research plans in advance.

Fourth, enterPrecautions for the Graduate School Examination

First of all, it is necessary to determine the choice of research topic, and the second is the choice of professors, because some school professors may stop taking students out of thinking about going out to study and so on. Some majors do not necessarily admit international students. Therefore, you should know in advance about the topic and the choice of professor.

Moreover, you need time and energy to register for the exam, and understanding these in advance can effectively avoid your application from being delayed due to these circumstances.

Unlike the Japanese who go to university, the content of the entrance examination for international students at each university in Japan is basically decided by each university itself. Most universities require students to take the Examination for Japanese University Admission for International Students (EJU) administered by the Japan Student Services Organization (JASSO) before taking the university entrance examination. Currently, 96% of universities use the results of the Examination for Japanese University Admission for International Students (EJU), 59% of public universities, and 47% of private universities.

In other words, if you want to enter a national or public university, it is absolutely impossible if you do not do well in the Examination for Japanese University Admission for International Students.

The main contents of the Examination for Japanese University Admission for International Students (EJU) include: Japanese, Science (Physics, Chemistry, and Biology), General Subjects, and Mathematics (choose one from Mathematics for Liberal Arts and Mathematics for Science Major).

The main contents of the Japanese language test are: reading comprehension, listening comprehension, listening comprehension, and memorization.

The main contents of the science (physics) exam: mechanics, heat, fluctuations, and magnetic gas leakage from electric comics.

The main contents of the science (chemistry) exam: the chemical properties of substances, the state of substances, chemical reactions, and the structure of substances.

The main contents of the Science (Biology) exam: the continuity of life, the reaction between the environment and organisms, and biological phenomena and substances.

The main contents of the comprehensive subject test are: Politics, Economy, Society (Modern Society, Modern Economy, Modern Politics, Modern International Society), Geography (Geography Skills and the Geographical Environment of the World, Land and People of Japan), History (The Founding of the Modern Era and the Integration of the World, Japan and the World in the 20th Century).

The main contents of the mathematics test are: equations and inequalities, quadratic functions, graphs and measurements, plane graphs, sets and logic, numbers and probabilities of occasions, formulas and proofs of high-dimensional equations, graphs and equations, various functions, differential integrals, sequences, vectors, limits, differentiation, integration, columns and their applications, formulas and curves.

However, the content of the Examination for Japanese University Admission for International Students (EJU) varies from university to university. Some of the banquets are only required in Japanese, and some are required for all of them. Of course, those who take the liberal arts do not need to take the science subjects, and those who take the science subjects do not need to take the comprehensive subjects.

Be sure to choose the content of the exam according to the requirements of each university. If you choose the wrong content of the test, you will not be able to take the entrance exam for that university. Generally speaking, universities that are considered to be better require grades in all subjects.

Taking the Examination for Japanese University Admission for International Students (EJU) is only a prerequisite for entering a university, and you must also take the entrance examination for each university. The subjects of the test are similar to those of the Examination for Japanese University Admission for International Students (EJU), but many universities, especially national and public universities, require the addition of English tests. To enter a national university, you need to have a high level of Japanese and English.

Nowadays, many people choose to study abroad and graduate school in order to improve their academic qualifications and skills, and many of them choose to enter graduate schools in Japan. Let's talk about how to get into graduate school in Japan.

1. Examination process and content

Unlike ours, there is no unified graduate school entrance examination. Each university has its own internal exams, but the steps are pretty much the same:

1. Submit materials (make a vow).

Some schools require students to contact their professors before the exam, i.e., to obtain a neno. If a student does not get the approval of the professor, there is no way to be admitted, even if they score high on the school test. In addition, there are many schools that require students to pass the examination after passing the examination.

2. Written test. The written test is generally a test of language and professional content. The languages will be Japanese and English, and some schools require students to take an on-campus test, while others require students to take an on-campus test as long as they submit the corresponding language scores.

If you want to go to a good school, you need a TOEFL score better than 80, which will give you an advantage.

3. Interview. The interview is also the most important, some schools do not require a written test, but the interview is basically required. Interviews are conducted by multiple professors, and questions are asked based on the research proposal that the student has made.

In addition, in order to test the student's English proficiency, the professor may also ask questions in English during the interview, especially for students applying to science and engineering colleges. Therefore, everyone must be familiar with their own research plan.

2. Timetable for admission

Exams for graduate schools in Japan are generally held twice a year, in autumn and spring. Generally speaking, the number of students enrolled in the fall is relatively large, and there are many majors offered, so it is best to take the exam in the fall. Of course, many schools only schedule exams once a year.

Therefore, for students, how to seize the opportunity to take the exam depends on how their study plan is planned. In terms of the preparation of materials, each university is different, but there are a few points to note:

1. Degree certificates, graduation certificates, etc. must be prepared in China, and generally need to have the official seal of the school, and the briefcase must be intact, so that it is a valid certificate. Generally, schools will have a type of description in the main project.

2. Letters of recommendation are not required by every school, but they must be written in Japanese or English when preparing a letter of recommendation.
