If I want to enter a graduate school in Japan, do I have to apply for a graduate school to get a mas

If you want to know whether you meet the admission requirements of which institutions with your current grades, or what level of universities abroad you can apply to with your current grade level?

You can enter your GPA, major, language scores, etc. through the study abroad volunteer reference system, and the system will automatically match the cases of classmates in a similar situation to you from the database, and see which colleges and majors they have successfully applied for, so that you can see what level of colleges and majors you can apply for at your current level, and accurately position yourself.

Through the Voluntary Study Abroad Reference System, submit your study abroad goals, and you can find out who has the same idea as you and whether their application is successful.

The landlord can refer to the reference system for studying abroad.

Enter your major, GPA and other information, and you can find out the cases of classmates who are in a similar situation to you, and see which universities and majors they have applied for. You can also check according to the study abroad goals, and see what backgrounds (how many points in language scores, what is the school background, what major, how much GPA is the GPA, etc.) of your target universities and majors, and then compare your own situation and formulate general goals and directions.

Graduate students in Japan are a system that can be understood as preparatory courses for monks, and they are auditors and are not awarded degrees. And Japanese monks are what our country calls graduate students, that is, at the master's level.

Hello, the Azure Study Abroad Teacher will introduce the difference between a monk and a graduate student:

A master's degree is called a master's degree in Japan, while a master's degree is a preparatory stage for entering a master's program. The minimum duration of postgraduate studies is six months and the maximum is two years. Monk for two years.

Normally, students majoring in Japanese mainly work with professors during this period, while students who are not majoring in Japanese are usually not proficient in Japanese, so they can participate in free Japanese language classes held by universities for international students, and go all out to learn Japanese and improve their Japanese skills in a short period of time to prepare for the master's course exam.

As you all know, if you want to study for a master's degree in Japan, the most common way is to apply for graduate school first, and then take the master's exam. So let's talk about whether it is better to go to graduate school first or take the monk exam directly.

1. Directly take the monk examination

Many students feel that it is a waste of time to study for a graduate student without a degree, so they want to go straight to the seminary. It is true that you can take the monk exam directly, but you need to consider whether you can pass the exam directly.

The content of the master's exam varies from school to school, but there are basically two parts: the Japanese language test and the professional test. In the Japanese language test, having an N1 level is only the foundation, and what the school needs to determine is the ability to learn Japanese in practice. The examination of the professional part is more difficult, and most of the teachers of relevant majors in the school come up with questions to check whether the student's academic level is solid.

Therefore, if you are studying at a prestigious school and have a high level of Japanese, you can choose to take the test directly. However, if you are from a school of origin and have an average level of Japanese, it is best to apply for graduate school first. After all, if you go to graduate school, as long as you prepare your essays, you will have the opportunity to go to a prestigious university.

Moreover, going to graduate school can further improve yourself and improve your passing rate in the exam.

2. Please apply for graduate students

For the monk exam, professional knowledge is key. Although you can grasp this knowledge by reading books on your own, it is still difficult to fully grasp it without the guidance of a teacher. If you are a graduate student, you can audit classes or ask questions about your professional knowledge.

What is more important is to be able to get information and revision content from the instructor that will help you pass the monk's exam.

Many students mistakenly believe that if they apply for graduate school as a university professor, they can only take the professor's master's degree. But graduate students exist only to allow students to build good future relationships with the faculty of their choice. However, this does not mean that you will have to choose this mentor in the future, it is actually a process of selection for both parties.

If you feel that the teacher is not particularly good or that the research direction is not what you like when you are in graduate school, you can also choose to go to other universities that you think are better to take the master's degree in the future. Therefore, even graduate students have a lot of autonomy, mainly depending on how they should use it rationally and make it most effective.

Some students who are planning to go on to graduate school want to know if they can take the master's degree exam at another school while they are studying in Japan. Actually, yes, so I'm going to talk about the circumstances under which graduate students can apply for a fellowship at another school.

1. I don't like the research field of my current supervisor or think that I can't learn it

When applying for graduate school, some students only choose their majors according to popular trends, without taking into account their actual abilities and professors' research. Therefore, after deepening my studies and research, I realized that this major was not suitable for me, so I chose to give up this major and wanted to apply for a monk from another school and enter a research laboratory that was more in line with my ability.

Second, the number of professors and graduate students is large, and their own ability may not be sufficient

As a result, many students prepare for the master's exams at other schools while applying for the master's degree examination in their own laboratory. In this way, students are able to have more chances to pass the monk's exam. After a lot of preparation, even if you don't pass the monk exam in your own laboratory, you will have a chance to pass the monk exam at another school and be admitted.

These are just some of the more common reasons why you choose to take the master's exam at another university during your graduate studies in Japan. There are many reasons why students want to abandon the monk's exam at their current school and apply for a monk's degree at another school. The university diploma exams in Japan are open to anyone, and any professor will accept the student as long as the student is able to pass the exam.

But these aspects need to be noted. If you are still preparing for a graduate school at another school, it is recommended that you do not tell your current supervisor first, and it is not too late to tell your supervisor when the results are available and you are sure that you have been admitted. Because if you say it in advance, it is likely to have an impact on the situation of your current laboratory.

Before starting the master's exam, it is best to have a good look with the professor you want to apply for, just like you would for a graduate school. If you contact the professor in advance, the professor will tell you something about the master's exam and explain what students should pay attention to when preparing for the exam, which can improve their success rate. In addition, when the official monk exam, some interviewers are likely to ask why they want to give up their current research room when they see the student's resume, which requires the student to think of a reasonable one first.

With its high level of education, similar cultural environment, and broad employment prospects, Japan has attracted the attention of Chinese students who are preparing to study abroad. Among them, many students choose to study for a Japanese graduate school first and then a master's degree. So, is it okay to study in Japan without going to graduate school and go straight to a master's degree?

And take a look. First of all, let's talk about the value of existence at the graduate level.

Hiharu Morimoto's graduate school is also known as the Preparatory Department for Monks. The purpose is to use the graduate studies to prepare for the study of the monks recruited by Fengsen. After all, there are certain differences between the education system of Chinese universities and Japanese universities.

The written test type and interview method of the Japanese Master's Degree Examination are different from those of the domestic Master's Examination. If you want to go to Japan for graduate school, you can use the time you are studying in Japan to prepare for the master's exam.

When do I need to go to graduate school in Japan?

Students who have a certain basic knowledge of Japanese, but are not so confident in taking the direct entrance exam; Or students who plan to apply across majors.

For example, if a student majoring in Japanese wants to take the master's degree in tourism geography, it is possible that the student's Japanese language ability will not have any problem communicating with the professor during the interview session of the master's examination, but there is a certain gap in basic knowledge compared with some students who studied tourism geography at the undergraduate level.

Therefore, if he chooses to go to graduate school at a Japanese university, he can use the university's educational environment and resources to make use of the university's educational environment and resources to improve his basic knowledge and better prepare for the interdisciplinary master's examination in the future.

Under what circumstances can I choose to take the monk directly?

If you are confident in your Japanese language and professional skills, you can also choose to go directly to a Japanese university without going through the transition to graduate school.

Although this is difficult, it is not completely impossible.

For example, in the master's examination of some science and engineering universities in Japan, you can choose English or Japanese when the questions are asked. Even if you are not confident in Japanese, if you feel that you can use English, you can try to answer the questions in English.

After all, most of the formulas in science and engineering are English symbols, and most of these formulas are universal. Even if there is Japanese on the test paper, it is relatively simple Japanese. As long as you can answer the final answer and prepare the interview content carefully before the interview, the probability of success is still quite high.

Of course, some schools can also provide interviews in English.

The main differences between graduate students and seminarians in Japan are:

1. The definitions are different. Nippon monk means Japanese university master's degree, which is the academic title of Japan, that is, what we call graduate school in Japan, and after graduation, you will obtain a master's degree. Graduate students in Japan, on the other hand, prepare for the seminary, which is what we usually call preparatory or auditor students.

2. The enrollment time is different. Graduate students in Japan are usually admitted twice a year, and most graduate students are admitted only once a year.

3. The admission method is different. Japanese graduate students can apply directly, there is no need for an exam, and there will be an interview, but Japanese monks basically need to go to Japan to take the exam. The main requirements for applying for Japanese monks are:

1. Age: There is no limit, but those over 35 years old need to explain the reason for studying abroad.

2. Education: Undergraduate students with a bachelor's degree or a bachelor's degree, self-study examination degree (can apply for a master's degree), junior college students are only accepted by individual schools, and they basically need to apply for qualification examination.

3. Japanese language requirements: If you are applying directly to Japan for graduate school, the Japanese language requirements are relatively high, the liberal arts major is required to reach the N1 level, and the science requirements are required to reach the N2 level or above.

4. English requirements: Japanese graduate school tutors still attach great importance to the use of English. Not only will English materials be used in class, but some tutors will even use English materials to conduct professional research, which requires international students to have corresponding English skills.

Generally, a TOEFL score of 80 or above, preferably 85 or more.

Monk: Japanese monks are what we call graduate students in Japan, and they get a master's degree after graduation. Graduate Students:

Graduate students in Japan are prepared for graduate studies, which is what we usually call preparatory or auditors. Usually, during this period, you can improve your professional knowledge, Japanese language ability, and professors to prepare for the master's course exam.

"Graduate students" in Japan are equivalent to the pre-graduate study process of a monk, and they are not really graduate students, usually half a year to two years. During the "graduate school" period, students will attend classes with professors and pass exams before they can become monks.

Students who want to become a graduate student can apply by simply submitting materials, and the corresponding university will issue it after the application is approved"Graduate Admission"。It should be noted that"Graduate Admission"It is not a letter of admission from a graduate school, but a letter of admission from a graduate school"Certificate of Conformity"。

After you apply to become a graduate student, you will follow the professor for half a year to a year, during which you will improve your professional ability, language ability and the professor to prepare for the seminary.

"Graduate students" in Japan usually admit students twice a year, in April and October; However, most monks are admitted only once a year, in April.

In general, the entrance examination for graduate students is based on a written examination, examinations in Japanese, English (or other foreign languages), specialized subjects, and oral defenses mainly for minor and graduate subjects.

In addition, some graduate schools also require a JLPT score and a TOEFL score. Some schools require that you must find a tutor in advance and obtain the consent of the tutor before you can go through the relevant admission procedures.
