Part time jobs for graduate school in Japan.

There is a rule, but few people care about it. The fact is that if you don't speak Japanese well, you won't be able to find a job for the first three months. If you want to say, I recommend it, I think Gunma is good, the language school I studied there is cheap, and there are many places to work.

It is also close to Tokyo, so it is convenient for both higher education and shopping. But it's a big countryside, and it's completely different from what you might expect from the advanced capitalist countries.

If you are coming on a student visa, you are not allowed to work on the visa itself. Therefore, you need to go to the Immigration Bureau in Japan to apply for a [permission to engage in activities other than those permitted under the status of residence previously granted], and as long as you get this permit, you can start working at any time. However, this permit will limit your part-time hours to 4 hours a day or 28 hours a week.

But it seems that few people abide by this rule, of course, provided that others do not expose you. If someone (your boss or your classmate or your colleague) denounces you, the Immigration Bureau will investigate, and if it is true, you will even have your student visa cancelled and you will be deported back to your home country.

There are still many opportunities for part-time jobs, such as supermarket cashiers, convenience stores, restaurant cooks, receptionists, etc., and there are magazines in Japan that specialize in short-term part-time jobs (free, all over Japan).

As for the location, in fact, it's the same to go to **, Tokyo consumption is high but you earn more. If I had to recommend one, I would recommend Kitakyushu (Fukuoka Prefecture), the climate is a bit like southern China, the prices are cheap, especially the rent, and there are many good schools, but there are many typhoons in the summer.

After graduation, it is feasible to work for two or three years before going to graduate school, and if you want to study abroad, it is recommended to go to countries such as Australia, Canada, the United States or the United Kingdom.

Go out as soon as possible, it's easy to get inert after working in the country. Only by striking while the iron is hot can good steel be made.

It's a bit late to prepare for the senior year.

The application for graduate school in Japan starts at least half a year in advance, which means that the application needs to be prepared before the application, and the results of the test should be good.

If you want to study in Japan for graduate school, it is recommended to get N2 or above, especially if you want to go to a prestigious school, it is recommended to have Japanese N1.

Then there are English scores, especially for science and engineering students, English scores are also more important, and there are also requirements for English scores to be submitted when entering the graduate school in the future, common: TOEFL or IELTS.

If you want to study in Japan at the beginning of your senior year and you have no knowledge of Japanese, you can apply to a language school in the same year as your senior year to go abroad, or you can apply for a Japanese graduate school to study in Japan after learning Japanese in Japan. Or if you are very good at English, you can consider applying for SGU English-taught programs!

There are 3 ways to go to Japan for graduate school:

The first is to apply for a Japanese monk directly in the country. (Note, however, that this is not a book in Japanese, but in English.)

Therefore, it is necessary to have a strong English TOEFL, IELTS or TOEIC score. Then you need to prepare a research proposal and if you are able to suggest a GRE (American College Entrance Examination). GRE is required for some difficult schools, but not for ordinary schools.

The second option is to study with professors at a Japanese university for a period of time through the graduate program. Then take the internal exam.

Note here that it doesn't mean that you have to go to the professor's university, if you are strong enough, you can go to a better school), what you have to do in this program is that you need N1 in liberal arts and N2 in science. If you have the ability, take an English test. Then, as well, prepare a research proposal.

The third way: through the language school + direct examination in Japan, this is more relaxed, usually a 150 hours of Japanese language study in the Tokyo area, and a language score is required in the Kansai area, JTEST, proficiency test or NET level test can be.

Classmate, you're in your senior year, and I don't know how well you're learning. If you usually have excellent grades in school, your English grades are also quite good. That's definitely enough time to apply directly to the SGU English program in Japan.

If you have a Japanese language score, you can apply for both. If you don't have a good score in Japanese or English, and you want to go to Japan directly after graduation, you can only choose a language school.

Hope it helps
