ACCEPTANCE OF FOREIGN STUDENTS IN JAPANESE UNIVERSITIES

Several of Japanese universities such as Waseda University, Keio University and Tokyo University of Agriculture have had long experience in accepting foreign students. At first, they admit their applicants as research students for six months, and let such students, whose knowledge of Japanese language is insufficient, mainly study Japanese language in the special course of the university. Then, at the end of special course, the research student must take a special entrance examination to the master’s course, usually for academic intellectual faculty and Japanese / English language proficiency. The examination usually involves an interview of the professor in charge. Only those who passed such special entrance examination are admitted entering the university as a regular student of the master’s course. Even after admitted, generally speaking, many classes are taught in Japanese, some explained in English, and some conrlneted in the mixed languages. The importance of studying the Japanese language throughout their campus life cannot be overstressed in addition to improving English proficiency. This FOUNDATION encourages its scholarship students to study Japanese language and extends financial assistance by the way of compensating Japanese language tuition fees immediately after selected. 

 

Recently some of Japanese universities have opened a new course such as International Graduate course or Global Course for international students. They place their entrance examination and hold classes in English. Those universities do not necessarily specify how much proficiency in English is required but many deem that more than 550 TOEFL score record or the equivalent level in other English proficiency tests will be necessary. Even foreign students in International / Global Graduate Course will need a certain level of Japanese language proficiency to make the most of their living in Japan. A recent study shows that the higher fluency in Japanese language a foreign student acquire, the more fruitful life he can spend in Japan. 

 

MASTER’S DEGREE IN JAPANESE UNIVERSITY

According to the educational system of Japan, the course for a master’s degree requires at least two years for study after graduation from a university (i.e. after completion of the whole course of 16 years conducted at school – 6 years in primary school. each 3 years in middle and high school and 4 ycars in faculty coursc of university).

 

Those who have studied in such course for the required terms of study, obtaining the necessary credits, and have passed the terminal examination after submission of their theses, will be given the master’s degree.
