2022-10-11
In recent years, the number of domestic graduate students has been growing year after year, and the number of national graduate students will be as high as 4.57 million in 2022. In the face of such fierce competition, more and more people choose to find another way to study abroad. Japan is very close to China, and the cost is not very expensive, so it has become the first choice for some students. So what do you need to do to prepare for applying for graduate school in Japan?
In recent years, the number of domestic graduate students has been growing year after year, and the number of national graduate students will be as high as 4.57 million in 2022. In the face of such fierce competition, more and more people choose to find another way to study abroad. Japan is very close to China, and the cost is not very expensive, so it has become the first choice for some students. So what do you need to do to prepare for applying for graduate school in Japan?
To prepare for graduate school in Japan, it is best to start preparing a year in advance. It is recommended that you actively take language exams and participate in research activities, social practice, etc. to enrich your experience according to the major you want to study. It is best to attain N1 for arts and business majors taught in Japanese, and N2 or higher for science and technology or art majors.
Generally, we need a resume, a research proposal, and some undergraduate transcripts, language scores, awards, and a well translated essay when we apply. Especially the research proposal is an "important document" to show our research ability, and many professors use this document to understand our ideas and opinions about research. Therefore, it takes a long time to prepare this document carefully.
In addition to preparing the above, you also need to choose a good school and your advisor. There are many good universities in Japan, and students can choose them by referring to the world ranking or geographical location. To study in Japan, you need to study at a language school first, and you need to apply in advance for a good language school. You can go to the official website of your ideal graduate school and look at the specialization of all professors in the major, then compare the research directions of these professors to see if they are the same, and find similar general directions as the scope of your own research topics.
In addition, there is a unique system in Japan called the Uchino system (most schools have the Uchino system). The Uchino system means that the professor of the school agrees that you can enter as a graduate student, which means that the professor has the right to admit you. Therefore, during this time, we should actively communicate with the professor of our choice by email, and in the process of this communication, we should actively work hard to get the professor's approval and prepare for the later stage of the application. We will prepare the application documents according to the requirements of the university where the professor is studying, and mail them within the specified time. After passing the examination, you will prepare for the interview and internal examination according to the school's requirements.
Positioning of school selection for studying in Japan
Do you want to know how many ranked colleges you can apply to in Japan with your GPA? You can try to use the Study Abroad Volunteer Reference System (the following applet) to do the positioning for studying in Japan.
How to use it: Enter your basic information (GPA, IELTS score, major, college background, etc.) into the Study Abroad Reference System, and the system will automatically match the cases of students with similar situations to yours from the database to see which universities they have successfully applied to in Japan, so that you can accurately position yourself.
