1. The results that Japanese graduate students should pay attention to.
1 and GPA scores
If you were an undergraduate in Japan and want to continue your postgraduate studies here, you need a good GPA at this time. Because this can make the tutor feel that the students are really studying hard and have a certain grasp of the professional courses. My GPA is higher than 3.5, so the teacher will think that the students are excellent, and a score above 3.0 is an acceptable result. If it is lower, I may not be promoted. But it's not bad to go to some private universities that are not very famous. Of course, grades are not the criteria for admission, but they can also be used as auxiliary criteria. Here in Japan, the enrollment of graduate students is two important parts: research plan and interview. Many Japanese teachers will ask students how to write research plans. Instead of asking the students' language level or professional course scores first.
2. Japanese scores
Although colleges and universities do not clearly stipulate how many points they have to take in order to be admitted when recruiting international students. But in fact, the expectation of most teachers here is that foreign students' Japanese must be above 150, so that their level can really reach the standard of communication. Of course, communication here does not mean simple communication in life, but practical Japanese. Because foreign students must have enough Japanese ability, and it is very important to have a good Japanese level to express complex things in study or academic discussion. It is not excluded that some students are particularly good at Japanese. Although their scores do not exceed 150, they are basically barrier-free in communication.
3. English scores
In fact, here in Japan, there are many majors for international students that don't need English grades. Students can complete their grades in Japanese when applying, and of course, English grades are supplemented. If your TOEFL score is above 700, or your TOEFL score is above 85, you can basically apply if you want to study. In fact, most majors in Japan will clearly stipulate that students must choose a language other than their mother tongue, but there is no clear stipulation as to what language it is. However, if students have worked in the research field, they all know that many materials are in English, so they must have good English ability to read these materials.
2. Daily living expenses for studying in Japan
I. Food and beverage expenses
Cooking and eating by yourself can save money to some extent. I suggest you go to the supermarket to buy ingredients after 8 pm. There will be a discount promotion at this time, and the monthly expenditure will be about 1500 yuan.
If you don't want to start work, you can go to a restaurant or canteen to eat. The price difference of light meals will not be particularly great. Generally, a meal is around 30 yuan, so the monthly expenditure will be around 3,000 yuan, which is still relatively expensive.
Second, the accommodation fee.
The dormitory provided by the school is very limited, and the application is generally immoral, but you can choose an apartment with a slightly expensive price but good conditions. Generally, there will be a separate bathroom and kitchen to meet your needs, 3000-5000 yuan per month.
Students with a relatively small budget can choose various forms of sharing, which requires everyone to enjoy public space, but they can share various expenses, which can greatly reduce the economic pressure of studying abroad, ranging from 2000 to 3000 yuan per month.
Third, travel expenses.
Even if you are on a business trip, the cost will be several times more expensive than in China. This is mainly because the social nature of the two countries is different, so we must consider this issue when renting a house, and don't be too far away from the school.
It will be cheaper to get a monthly ticket or an annual ticket. Just charge it regularly. Subway is charged by mileage, and the cost is between 10-20 yuan; The bus fare is fixed, about 15 yuan for one way.
Fourth, the cost of shopping
Usually everyone has various expenses, and shopping accounts for a large proportion. There are many small shops with good quality and low price in Japan. If you are not demanding, you can consider these stores, and you need to prepare at least 2000 yuan a month.
You should bring good things to study in Japan.
1, passport
As long as you go abroad, whether you are on business, traveling or studying abroad, a passport is essential. You can't leave or enter the country without a passport.
When you study in Japan, you must bring your passport. Your passport is not only a proof of your legal residence in Japan, you need it on many occasions when you do business in Japan, so you must prepare it.
Passport is an indispensable document when picking up luggage, filling in immigration cards and going through immigration formalities. I suggest you take your passport with you for easy access.
2. Cash
Cash must be ready. There are many places where you need cash to get off the plane in Japan. I just came to Japan, and it's more troublesome to withdraw money. I'll exchange it for Japanese yen at home first.
The exchange of foreign exchange is carried out in the bank. You can pay close attention to the changes of the bank's exchange rate and exchange it for yen when the exchange rate is reasonable, so you can make a profit. Although there are many private exchange agencies, we must be careful not to be cheated.
3.seals
Before studying in Japan, you need to prepare one thing, and that is the seal. Seals are often used in daily life in Japan, so you should prepare them before going abroad.
It is expensive to carve a seal in Japan. Even the most common wooden seal needs at least 500 RMB, while other more expensive materials will be more expensive.
It is worth noting that the credibility of soft seals such as rubber barriers is not recognized in all parts of Japan, so we must prepare hard seals when preparing.
4. ID photo
When you arrive in Japan, you need to use your ID card for admission, bank card and other matters. There are several specifications of your ID card to meet different requirements.
Like seals, it is more expensive to take a photo in Japan, so taking a photo in China and taking it there does not take up space and saves money.
5, ballpoint pen
As we all know, on the plane to Japan, everyone needs to fill out the entry card, and the entry card needs a pen. At this time, it is very important to prepare a ballpoint pen.
Because the pen tube may leak due to air pressure, it is convenient and safe to prepare a ballpoint pen.
