It's January now, and more than half a month has passed since the end of the exams for graduate students.
However, smart students are taking advantage of the two-month waiting period to find their own "spare tire" for graduate school, no matter whether the exam is good or not, multiple choices, multiple paths, it is always good. Today, Cheng Jun will take you to take stock of some of the differences between China and Japan, as well as the advantages and disadvantages, for everyone to understand
Entrance examinations are competitiveIs it friendlier to go to graduate school in Japan?
First of all, many students choose to take the postgraduate entrance examination, whether at home or abroad, in the hope of improving their academic qualifications and hoping to be conducive to future development. But in the domestic postgraduate entrance examination, everyone knows how big the competition is. In 2022, there will be 4.57 million graduate students in the country, and the admission rate will only be 242%。It is understood that in some popular majors, there will be hundreds of people vying for more than a dozen admission places. This will undoubtedly greatly increase the pressure of the graduate school entrance examination. Although the number of graduate students has dropped this year, it is also difficult.
However, the competition for graduate school entrance examinations in Japan is relatively small, and there are not so many Japanese who choose to go to graduate school, and many students who graduate from the school will choose to find a job or start a business. Taking 2022 as an example, in 2022, the total number of applicants for graduate schools (graduate schools) in national and public universities in Japan was 95,635, and the total number of admitted students was 62,709, with an acceptance rate of 6557%。In 2022, the number of international students applying for national and public universities was 13,713, and the number of admitted students was 5,385, with an acceptance rate of 3926%。Compared with China, the competition for graduate school entrance examinations in Japan is obviously much smaller. Most graduate schools in Japan focus on research, and students often choose to go to graduate school because they want to research and are interested in topics, not necessarily just for academic qualifications.
Exam formatIs it friendlier to go to graduate school in Japan?
In terms of the form of the examination, the domestic postgraduate entrance examination requires the participation in the unified examination, and only after "passing the line" can you have the opportunity to participate in the internal examination and interview of various universities. In Japan, each university has its own entrance examination, and there is no unified entrance examination, so the pressure can be greatly reduced. Then there are many kinds of subjects to be examined in China, and it is necessary to take not only the content of professional courses, but also public courses of politics and English. In Japan, English can be used with TOEFL, IELTS, TOEIC, and there is no political test.
Entry Requirements:Is it friendlier to go to graduate school in Japan?
Let's take a look at the application, the domestic postgraduate entrance examination pays more attention to the schoolMany schools will prioritise reserving places for 985 211 studentsGraduates of the other two colleges may also be limited by their schools of origin when they are admitted to graduate school, and they may not be able to go to particularly good colleges and universities for graduate school. However, in Japan, the domestic school is often less important, and more important is the performance of the research plan and the internal examination, etc., and the students of the two institutions can also pass the national and public universities with good qualifications. Compared with this series of processes, the teaching methods of Japanese graduate schools are more free, and they are more able to find problems from them, which is conducive to students' divergent thinking, and through the questions of other students, they can also reflect on the loopholes in their own investigation, which is helpful for future research projects.
Exam timeWill Japan be friendlier to graduate school entrance examinations?
Finally, there is also a difference in the timing of the exam. In Japan, the postgraduate entrance examination is taken once a year, but in Japan there are two opportunities to take the exam in summer and winter a year. Summer is usually in August-September, and winter is usually in January-February, so if you don't get into the exam in the summer, you actually have a chance in the winter.
How to study abroadWill Japan be friendlier to graduate school entrance examinations?
What are the suitable ways for friends with different abilities to study abroad, and we will also take a look at it today. If you are from a good school, a partner with outstanding English scores is suitable for taking the SGU English program. You don't need Japanese, you can apply for TOEFL, TOEIC, or IELTS, and pass the examination with all the required documents. It also saves a lot of time compared to other application methods, and when others are still in the research room and the professor are doing research to prepare for the monk exam, you have already become a monk directly. ∨For those who are bilingual in both Japanese and English, you can try to apply for graduate school. After getting the professor's Neno, you can study with the professor, and then you can take the monk examination. With a formal monk and your future professor to take you on your own, there is no better environment and way to prepare for exams. ∨
For those who don't have Japanese or English, there are also 2 ways to try. One is to get on the bus first and then make up the ticket, that is, to buy yourself time after the interview and then submit the language score. Like the TOEFL IELTS test, there are multiple times a year, there are 4 tests in January 23 alone, and there is no limit to the number of tests. If you do not have a name for the Japanese Language Proficiency Test, some schools can use JTEST instead, and the test will be taken 6 times a year. ∨
The other is that those who are not ideal in language skills can directly attend a language school. Using the time spent at the language school to improve your Japanese and English skills, and preparing for the graduate school entrance exam, is also the route that most people choose to go to Japan, so that you can buy yourself more time.
For those who are going to graduate school, no matter what your situation is, there is a way to study in Japan that suits you. Everyone is welcome to consult at any time, let's chat! In addition, studying in Japan is planned to apply one year in advance, so please consult as soon as possible!
