Some questions about Japanese graduate students i.e., domestic graduate students .

1. If it is only recommended by the school teacher, it is generally self-funded, and the public fund needs to be recommended by domestic universities, research institutions, ** or relevant units, and you can go to Japan after the application is passed, and you can go to the school to find out if there is a public-funded quota.

2. You need to understand the graduate school system in Japan, there is a difference in concept between graduate students in public universities and domestic graduate students, in Japan, the master's degree is called a seminary, and the graduate student is equivalent to the preparatory department of the seminary, foreign students generally pass the graduate study for half a year and one year, enter the graduate program after passing the graduate entrance examination, and graduate after 2 years to obtain a master's degree.

3. As foreign students, especially Chinese students, there is a considerable gap between the academic thinking and teaching level of China and Japan, so the general professor does not allow foreign students to directly take the monk examination. Usually the tutor will let the student study as a graduate student for half a year and then take the master's examination.

4. You can graduate early, but you need to get permission from your tutor, and you can consult the school for details.

Graduate school in Japan is actually the equivalent of a graduate school, so what are some of the most frequently asked questions about graduate school? This is a topic that many people who go abroad are interested in, so let's take a look at the frequently asked questions about graduate students in Japan! Welcome to the reading.

Frequently Asked Questions for Graduate Students in Japan

Q: How do I take classes as a preparatory student?

A: Preparatory studies are divided into specialized studies and Japanese language studies. Preparatory students, like regular graduate students, generally participate in the experimental projects of their supervisors, listen to the lectures of the instructors (the instructors at the preparatory stage are the advisors who will enter the graduate program in the future), study in the major, and prepare for exams.

In addition, the International Student Center of the school offers free Japanese language classes, including beginner, intermediate, and advanced classes, and you must take a Japanese language class test first and then take classes at the appropriate level.

Q: How many courses do I have to take in the entrance examination for graduate students?

A: The examination for master's students is divided into a written test and an interview, and the number of examination subjects varies from graduate school to graduate school. There are two types of written exams: major and foreign language, and the test must be conducted in Japanese or English.

The entrance examination for doctoral students is also divided into a written test and an interview, and the interview is mainly about the defense of the master's degree.

Q: How do I write a research proposal?

A: A research proposal is very important. When a teacher is considering whether or not to accept a student, the first thing they should review is the student's research proposal.

We can provide you with a sample for your reference. Before writing a research plan, you must first clarify what you want to study, the topic should be specific, you need to have a certain understanding of the professional field you are studying, you can understand the situation of the instructor through **, check the teacher's writings**, and consult and learn the Chinese ** of the relevant major, clarify what research results are in the field and the expected results of your own research, and then complete the research plan. References should be noted on the research proposal.

Q: What are the procedures after deciding on an instructor?

A: Before the application deadline for each program, you need to send your admission documents to the graduate school where you will be enrolled (you can also submit them through our representative office). After receiving the admission letter, you will start to apply for a visa and go through the relevant procedures for leaving the country.

Q: Is it complicated to apply for a visa?

A: Once the student is accepted by the teacher of the chosen major, the success rate of the student's visa application is 100%. The school will complete the procedure for the "Certificate of Eligibility" and then send the Certificate of Eligibility to the student.

Upon receipt of the certificate, the student should bring the following personal data:

1) Notification of Admission.

2) Proof of income of the dependent.

3) Student's passport.

4) Certificate of status of residence, apply for a visa at the visa application agency of the Japanese Embassy, which can be processed within five working days.

The above is the information of Japanese graduate schools that I have compiled, thank you for browsing.

In fact, "graduate students" in Japan are non-regular students, that is, they do not have a degree, and they cannot earn credits. It is only a preparatory stage for entering a master's or doctoral program at Daikoku College in Japan, and is usually used as a way for international students to enter the regular courses of graduate school. The duration of "postgraduate" studies is usually one year and can be extended to a maximum of two years, but only with the consent of the supervisor.

Graduate schools in Japan are equivalent to graduate schools in China, and students are equivalent to graduate students in Japan. The two stages of graduate school are monks and doctors, which are equivalent to master's and doctorates in China. Similar to graduate schools in Japan, graduate schools in Japan also follow their supervisors to conduct more in-depth study and research in a certain field.

Supervisors will tailor research directions to students based on their research interests. However, compared to graduate education in Japan, graduate education in Japan has its own advantages.

First, the length of schooling. Compared to the three-year master's program at a domestic university, Japan is synchronized with the international level, which means that a master's degree can be obtained in two years, which shortens the study period and allows students to enter the workplace or doctoral program as early as possible.

Second, in terms of entrance exams. The graduate school entrance examination in Japan is different from the unified graduate school entrance examination in China, and each school has its own relatively independent examination for each major. This exam format is more flexible and provides candidates with more opportunities for admission.

However, the focus of the test content is different in each university, which leads to a wide range of preparation for the exam.

Third, the research aspect. In contrast to domestic research, students spend a lot of time on tasks assigned by their supervisors, while students in Japanese graduate schools can devote more time to their own research projects, thereby consolidating their academic theoretical knowledge and improving their academic literacy. In addition, each laboratory will also provide as convenient conditions as possible for students' research, so that students can concentrate on research and complete their studies as soon as possible.

In Japan, graduate students belong to the pre-master's department and do not have a student status, and graduate students in Japan are called "monks", and they can only be called "monks" if they pass the entrance examination. If you don't understand, you can ask me.

This "graduate student" has a different meaning than Chinese. Undergraduate students in Japan are called Faculty Students, Master's students are called Scholars (schools with doctoral programs are also called Doctoral Students), and the Japanese term "graduate students" is actually non-regular students recognized by professors, and the graduate school system is a system unique to Japan.

Generally, this system will be set up before going to undergraduate, master's, and doctoral degrees, especially before going to master's degree, which is commonly known as the reserve team for master's degrees. It can generally be understood as a Japanese pre-master's program. You can enter the professor's laboratory to study (some teachers don't ask for seminars, so it's up to you), you can observe specialized classes, and use the school's facilities.

Compared with other international students who are preparing for the exam, the advantage is that they can familiarize themselves with the university courses in advance, enter the research state in advance, and get acquainted with the professor, which is also quite beneficial for the interview.
