In Japanese graduate schools (called graduate schools in China), there are different "research departments", and each "research department" is divided into several majors (called specialized in Japan).。In addition, there are full-time professors' research rooms and thematic groups。In addition, there are graduate schools that offer only doctoral programs and 5-year doctoral programs, as well as a few "independent graduate schools" that offer only corresponding undergraduate programs and "graduate schools" that offer no undergraduate programs at all.。According to Japanese data, there are 506 graduate schools in Japan (97 national, 60 public, and 349 private).。
The regular courses of graduate School include master (Japanese called monk) program (2 years) and doctoral program (5 years).。Most doctoral programs are divided into an early (2 years, equivalent to a master's) and a later (3 years) program.。
Some graduate schools have a five-year doctoral program, while others only have a three-year program。The doctoral program in Medicine, dentistry and veterinary medicine is a 4-year four-year program that is required for admission to graduate School。In addition to the above formal courses, some graduate schools have graduate students (called research students in China), listening students, and subject practice。
Graduate school is a unique institution in Japan。It is divided into "graduate students of academic departments" and "graduate students of graduate schools" according to different universities, but the content can be considered to be basically the same。Graduate students are basically divided into the following three categories:
(1) Do not aim to obtain a degree, in order to conduct research activities for a short period of time。
(2) Short-term students under the inter-university exchange Agreement。
(3) Students during the preparation period before admission to a master's or doctoral program at a graduate school。
Currently, most foreign students spend one to two years studying abroad preparing for the entrance exam for regular graduate school courses。Whether regular courses or graduate students, it is generally required to find an advisor and obtain a commitment to admission。Graduate students have six months to two years to learn professional knowledge under the guidance of professors, can fully and accurately prepare for the entrance examination of master's and doctoral programs, and can learn professional Japanese, there are many advantages。However, after all, graduate students are different from "regular students" in undergraduate master's and doctoral programs, there will be some restrictions and inconveniences such as not being able to apply for scholarships, and not being able to live in the student dormitory of the graduate school。Not only does the graduate system vary from university to university, but the admission criteria held by professors in each research department may also vary。In fact, whether a graduate student can be admitted or not depends on the personal judgment of the professor in charge, such as the research office and the professional team。In other words, the possibility of becoming a graduate student depends on whether you can find a professor who is willing to accept you as a graduate student。In addition, some universities are responsible for introducing professors to provide convenience for their smooth admission。
In Japan, public universities and some private universities generally require foreign students to go through the graduate process and re-enter the regular course of study。However, some graduate schools admit students directly to regular programs after conducting interviews and examinations。This not only eliminates the need for postgraduate study, but also saves time and costs of studying abroad, which is the best choice。
