First of all, I would like to answer the question of the students, "Do I have to go to a language school to study in Japan?" ”
It doesn't have to go, it still depends on the specific situation and needs of the students.
Students need to know a few facts first, the essence of a language school is to sell visas for Japanese language courses.
Provide student status and academic qualifications (there is no academic qualification for those who have graduated from a language school).
Progression to the language school is all about it.
There are only the following types of students who need to study in Japan through a language school.
1.Japanese is a little worse.
First of all, it is not recommended that students go directly to Japan to study in Japan, and it is best to learn N4 and N3 in China.
Regardless of whether the purpose is to go on to higher education or find a job, such students can go to a language school to make a transition and learn Japanese, the important thing is to focus on speaking and listening, and with the Japanese language environment, they can progress faster.
2.The professional class is a little worse.
Japanese universities not only examine Japanese language, but also take specialized courses, so students will basically apply for a private school to take specialized courses.
However, students who want to go to Japan need to apply for a language school, and after getting their stay, they can apply for a private school in addition to the language school's curriculum.
3.I want to apply to more than one college.
If you want to apply for multiple colleges, you will definitely not be able to apply for a short-term visa, so you must go through a long-term visa provided by a language school, and then take the internal examination of each school after adapting to Japan.
4.I just want to go to Japan and experience culture.
If you want to live in a different place and experience Japanese culture in depth, you can also go to a language school. In addition to providing long-term visas, Japanese language schools also offer a variety of cultural experience classes, such as flower arrangement, tea ceremony, and more, which are perfect for students who want to experience Japanese culture.
In addition to the above points, students who have good grades in other major courses and Japanese language and have a clear purpose can skip the language school and consider other ways. The seniors also made it clear to the students today.
Direct exam
Literally, it means that you can go directly to Japan to take the exam through a travel visa, because the travel visa time is relatively short, so students who go this way can only choose one or two schools to apply.
Therefore, students are also required to have good grades in Japanese and professional courses. Because there is not much time to adapt to Japan, students need to start the exam after arriving in Japan, and they need to prepare for the exam in their home country, and at the same time, they also need to check the official website to determine the time. Many students may miss information in Japan, let alone across borders, and students who choose this method also need to have strong enough information gathering skills to break the information gap.
Cons:
Although this method is more economical, one premise is that you can pass the test at one time, and once you have to go to Japan for the test more than twice, the air ticket money and various transportation and accommodation expenses on the road will catch up with the cost of going to the language school, and the fault tolerance rate is very low.
Apply to graduate school
This is also a path that top students can choose, and the application requirements are very high. Seniors are only recommended for students who have N1 in Japanese, have English scores, and have a good background and high GPA.
Of course, there must be some students who will be careful, although their own ability is not enough, but they can ask the agent to help write a research plan. The senior can only say that this kind of stuffing will be exposed sooner or later, not only will you not be able to go ashore as a monk, but it will also make the professor's impression of you and other Chinese students worse, and affect the subsequent applications.
Cons:
Wherever you want to go to graduate school, you can only apply to this school, and although you can change schools and majors, you will definitely be asked by the professor during the interview, "Why do you want to change your major to our school?" ”。Some students who change majors to graduate school may also be advised to study for an extra year.
Finally, it should be made clear that applying for graduate school does not mean that you are a monk on the shore, and there are many people who have studied for two years and have not been admitted to the monk in the end.
Go SGU project
This is an English program established by Japanese universities to raise the level of internationalization. You don't need to know Japanese, as long as you have a good enough English score.
The schools that offer this program are all well-known schools, such as the University of Tokyo, Kyoto University, Osaka University, Waseda University, Keio University, and so on. Because it is an application system, the application requirements of each school are different, and students who want to know more about it can DD seniors.
Cons:
The number of universities that offer SGU programs is limited, and there are also restrictions on majors, and the number of students enrolled is small, so there is basically no way to change majors.
It is true that studying in Japan is not only a language school, but language schools are suitable for the most people, and you can get used to a language school for both employment and further education.
Students can see which way they are suitable for, and if you are not sure, you can also do a small assessment, and the seniors will help you plan in detail
