1) Students who graduated from university and entered directly in September of the same year or April of the following year.
The full name of the national expenses is called "Scholarship of the Ministry of Education of Japan", which is provided by the Ministry of Education of Japan, including free tuition and air tickets, plus scholarships given by high monthly living expenses. Although the amount has been shrinking in recent years, it can still be regarded as one of the highest scholarships.
There are two ways to apply for national expenses, one is to recommend them directly to the Japanese government through professors from Japanese universities, and the other is to recommend them through the Embassy of China. It's easier to apply for a doctor's degree, but a little harder to apply for a master's degree. However, if your school cooperates with Japanese schools, the chances are even greater.
Scholarship programs, only available in some special universities, cooperate with enterprises to send students to study in Japan. For example, Dalian University of Technology has a Panasonic scholarship every year. Because tuition is free, it is a little more than the national prize. It's just that students have strict restrictions on going abroad. This kind of opportunity depends on the university, but it is hard to come by. You can ask the study abroad office of your school.
The above two ways are actually the best way to study abroad.
Advantages: you can do it yourself without spending money; You can go directly to school without going to language school or graduate school, saving time.
Disadvantages: Some people's Japanese ability is not good enough, and they will start their master's life for two years immediately after arriving in Japan. At the end of the first year, they often start writing papers as soon as they master Japanese, and there is no time to catch their breath. Japan's job search began one year before graduation. Many people who directly enter the master's degree lament that time is too tight and they are in a hurry to find a job before their Japanese has been fully improved. Many people will be caught off guard.
2) Graduation from university → Recruit monks directly in English programs or special programs of Japanese universities.
Depending on the target university, there are sometimes English programs that can be directly admitted or other monks who can directly admit foreign students. For example, the Global30 project carried out by the Ministry of Education of some top universities in Japan. Some require GRE or GMAT scores. Specific information can be found on the website of the university.
Advantages: you don't need to go to graduate school or language school, and you don't need to learn Japanese.
Disadvantages: there is not necessarily a scholarship, and sometimes you need to apply for it yourself. It is difficult to integrate into Japanese society and enjoy studying abroad without knowing Japanese. In addition, it is more expensive to apply for GRE in Japan and give up the United States.
3) After graduating from college, apply for the "graduate student" of the target school and pass the exam and be admitted by the monks of the target school.
In view of the particularity and limitations of the above two ways, this way is the most popular.
The application process of this road is: first, take a language test (Japanese, English, etc. ), prepare application materials (research plan, etc.). ), and then contact the target professor of the target university (this process is similar to that in the United States) to express his desire to study as a graduate student of this tutor and take the monk exam in the future. After the professor agreed, he began to prepare materials and make a wish.
"Make a wish" means "formally submit the application materials", because a professor often can't decide whether to admit the students in the department, so he has to go through formal procedures and get the consent of all the tutors in the department. Except for a few rare phenomena, the general professors promised to basically pass after receiving it.
After the wish is passed, you can become a "graduate student" in the university. Refers to students who are temporarily enrolled in universities (research institutions composed of master's and doctoral professors as opposed to undergraduates). Although he is different from the official monk in applying for scholarships and monthly ticket concessions, he is still a student of this school.
Depending on the department, there will be one or two entrance exams for monks every year. Some schools will have special exams for foreigners. Prepare for the exam during the postgraduate entrance examination, and you can enter the school after passing the exam. In some cases, you can choose 10 or April admission time. Sometimes you can only enter school in April.
Advantages: low threshold, low risk, high return (sometimes there are behind-the-scenes operations such as state fees, and professors generally only look at ability). There is a certain time buffer, so that the quality of life abroad is higher. The probability of being admitted to a monk is relatively greater.
Disadvantages: it takes a lot of time and requires you to apply for a scholarship yourself.
4) After graduating from college, I went directly to Japan to take the entrance examination for becoming a monk.
Because monks can apply for the exam after graduation, it is also a way to apply for a tourist visa as a graduate student. Someone succeeded.
But this method is risky. First, without living in Japan, it is difficult for Japanese to really reach the practical standard, and it is also difficult for people who are not in Japan to grasp the tendency and type of questions. Second, in some cases, places are given priority to graduate students in schools. Compared with graduate students who know their roots in the research room, some teachers who have never met dare not rashly admit.
Advantages: you can save half a year or a year by studying in a language school or graduate school.
Disadvantages: Same as 1
5) Graduation from university → Language school → Direct examination of monks.
There are also many people who go this way. It is a good choice for people who have no basic knowledge of Japanese. Except for some excellent language schools, there is basically no threshold, and you can enter school if you have money. Learning Japanese in Japan will be much faster than in China. You can skip the direct postgraduate entrance examination.
Disadvantages: high cost. Sometimes the language school environment is not very good. It takes more time than direct admission.
6) University graduation → language school → graduate students → test monks.
Step 4) was added in step 5). Step by step, the difficulty is reduced. It just takes a lot of time. At least another year.
Note: Other scholarships (including national awards) have nothing to do with which school you attend and what status you have, except that your school is compatible with the project. You can apply while reading.
1. The master's degree in Japan is generally two years. There are enrollment in April, and there are also 10 enrollment. Some schools and some majors only enter the school in April, and other individual projects can only enter the school in June 5438+ 10.
2.master is called "monk" in Japanese, and the word "graduate student" in Chinese writing does not refer to master in Japan, but refers to the informal preparatory students before Master. Please pay attention to the difference with Chinese.
3. The way doctors study abroad is generally similar to that of monks.
The above is an introduction to the application process of Japanese graduate students for your reference.
Many domestic students choose to go to a language school in Japan and then go to graduate school. The postgraduate application materials are as follows:
At present, almost all students studying in Japan apply for visas through Japanese agents. It is understood that after the applicant obtains the admission permit of an institution of higher learning, his agent in Japan applies for the "Certificate of Qualification to Stay in Japan". When applying for residence qualification, the agent shall submit copies 1 copy of the following written materials to the examination department or preliminary examination department of the local exit-entry administration and its branches in the area where the school is located:
