Transcription

1 Guide for study in Japan Japan Student Services Organization (JASSO) JASSO is an independent administrative institution affiliated with the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT). As a core and leading organization dealing with student services, JASSO comprehensively takes care of a wide range of programs to support students, including scholarships and activities that are arranged for current and prospective students, so that those who are from both Japan and overseas can have a comfortable and fruitful study life in Japan. Based on the "300,000 Foreign Students Plan", a project initiated by the Japanese government to increase the number of international students in Japan to 300,000, a variety of programs are being carried out. Our programs include the following: arrangement of scholarships for both domestic and foreign students, implementation of activities of international exchanges, management of accommodation for international students and administration of application procedures using the "Examination for Japanese Admission for International Students" system, as well as collecting and providing information on study abroad. For details, please see the website: Basic information on Study in Japan: 1. Types of Higher Educational Institutions and Study Programs in Japan 1) Undergraduate Programs at Universities The duration of regular undergraduate programs at universities is four years, while that of the programs in medicine, dentistry, pharmacy and veterinary sciences is six years. In addition to degree-programs and long-term research programs, non-degree and short-term programs are also available. The following qualifications must be met for admission of international students to Japanese universities: * Must have completed 12 years of school education overseas including secondary education. Those who have completed 10 or 11 years of school education must either 1) study for another one or two years in a higher educational institution such as a university in their home country; or 2) study in the specific course called " Preparatory " for 1-2 years More information about Japanese universities is available on JASSO's website: 2) Graduate Programs at Universities Qualifications for admission of international students differ depending on the condition of university and/or graduate school, but any one of the following conditions must be initially met: 1 Master's Programs * Must have completed a four-year undergraduate program, or be recognized as having equivalent or better academic abilities * Must have completed 16 years of education overseas including secondary school and undergraduate level studies * Must have completed 15 years of school education overseas including secondary school and undergraduate level studies with excellent achievements * Must be aged 22 or older and be recognized as having academic abilities equivalent to or better than university graduates in independent admission eligibility assessments conducted by the graduate school 2 Doctorate programs * Must have a master's degree or be recognized as having academic abilities equivalent to or better than master's level * Must have been awarded with an overseas degree equivalent to a master's degree * Students aged 24 or older recognized as having academic abilities equivalent to or better than master's level in independent admission eligibility assessments conducted by the graduate school Graduate School Application Guidebook is published by JASSO in summer before the admission year. 3) Research Students at Universities A research student is defined as a short-term international student enrolled in a course under the Inter-university Exchange Agreement who utilizes the time as preparation for entrance into a regular graduate school. Most research students are granted admission based on the results of examining the documents of application. In order for research students to obtain the "College 105

2 Student" status of residence, they will have to attend classes for 10 hours a week. *Academic advisers Academic advisers provide students with academic guidance on study and research. There are cases where regular research students are required to have informal consent for acceptance from an academic adviser before they apply for a university. It is suggested that they write to the academic adviser, stating your achievements, your future research plan, and the reasons why you chose that particular academic adviser. It is highly advisable to attach a letter of recommendation from your academic adviser at your home university. If an academic adviser is required, you can find one in the Directory Database of Research and Development Activities (ReaD). 4) Junior Colleges Normally, two-year courses are offered in junior colleges while some courses which deal with medical technology and nursing require three years. Junior colleges focus on education that allows students to learn skills which will be utilized after graduation. One third of the junior colleges are women's institutions where a majority of courses offered are in the humanities, home sciences, education, and social sciences. 5) Professional Training Colleges Training colleges that focus on specialized skills while offering post-secondary education courses are called "Professional Training Colleges," and belong to the institutions classified under higher educational institutions. These colleges provide vocational education for future careers. There are various colleges in different fields such as medical care, technology, business, fashion, and agriculture. (Japanese only) 6) Colleges of Technology Colleges of Technology are institutions for the students who have completed their lower secondary education (called junior high school in Japan, generally up to the age of 15). These colleges provide five-year comprehensive education programs with practical and specialized knowledge and skills for each profession. Most colleges of technology are in the industrial fields but there are also colleges dealing with different areas. Students graduating from colleges of technology are awarded an "Associate Degree". The details are available on the website of the Institute of National colleges of technology, the organization which provides information about colleges of technology. 7) Japanese Language Institutions There are about 400 Japanese language institutions in Japan. You can find the information about them on the website of the Association for the Promotion of Japanese Language Education. 8) preparatory courses for admission to Japanese universities These courses are preparatory Japanese language programs run at private universities and junior colleges for the students who wish to study at universities and junior colleges. You can study the Japanese language and Japanese culture through basic programs designed to meet the requirements of admission of Japanese universities Preparations for Study in Japan The Examination for Japanese Admission for International Students (EJU) EJU is one of the entrance exams for both undergraduate and graduate schools for privately financed international students. EJU is conducted twice a year in June and November in 15 prefectures throughout Japan, and at 16 cities mainly in the Asian region. You are required to take the exam in the subjects specified by the university you have chosen. The subjects usually include the following: Japanese as a Foreign Language, Science (choice of two subjects from physics, chemistry or biology), Mathematics, and "Japan and the World" (history, geography, etc.). Honors Scholarship Program for Privately Financed International Students JASSO provides a scholarship program called the "Honors Scholarship for Privately Financed International Students" that is offered to privately financed international students who have demonstrated excellent academic results in the EJU and eligibility for undergraduate programs at Japanese universities, junior colleges or professional training colleges as full-time students. Scholarship amount: Monthly amount of 48,000 (for 2009). In 2008, 1,377 students were selected and awarded. The Japanese Language Proficiency Test The Japanese Language Proficiency Test is designed to certify the proficiency of the students who learn the Japanese language. It is conducted both in Japan and overseas in July and December (though the test is conducted only for certain grades in certain countries and regions.). It is mandatory at some universities to take this test for those applying for undergraduate, master's or doctorate programs

3 3. Visa procedure Status of Residence The status of residence applicable to international students studying in Japan is "College Student". The durations of visa vary from one year to two years and three months depending on the type of institution. More information is available on the website of the Immigration Bureau, at the Ministry of Justice: Visa application Visas can be applied for in either of the two ways outlined below: (1) If you don't have a "Certificate of Eligibility for a status of residence" The visa application needs to be submitted personally by the student intending to study in Japan at the Japanese Embassy or Consulate in their home country. The time required to process this visa application will take longer than those with a Certificate of Eligibility. (2) If you have a "Certificate of Eligibility" Before applying for a visa, students intending to study in Japan or their proxies will apply for the "Certificate of Eligibility for a residence status" and have it issued to them at a Regional Immigration Bureau in Japan. With this "Certificate of Eligibility", students will then personally apply for visas at the Japanese Embassy or Consulate. Unlike visa application without the "Certificate of Eligibility", this alternative requires shorter processing time. More information is available on the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan: 4. Living in Japan Tuition and fees The average fee paid for the first year (comprised of admission fees, tuition, facility and equipment usage fees). Graduate School, National 817,800 Undergraduate School, Private (Social Sciences) 1,100,650 Professional training colleges (Business) 1,100,120 Japanese language institutions (one-year course) 415,000 Tuition and fees in Japan are very competitive when compared with some other counties, as are the tuition and fees exemptions and scholarships offered by the Japanese government and many higher educational institutions. Scholarships Besides the scholarships provided by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, there are "Honors Scholarships" for privately financed international students provided by JASSO as previously mentioned, and scholarships provided by local governments and private organizations. In addition, some universities have their own scholarships, and tuition and fees reduction or exemption systems. However, the majority of scholarships in Japan only sponsor part of the student s tuition and fees, and/or daily expenses. There are very few scholarships offering full coverage of the student s necessary expenses, and it is important to properly budget the amount required for study in Japan and not to rely solely on scholarships. Drafting out a solid financing plan including selffunding is essential. Scholarships for International Students in Japan: Accommodations There are many types of accommodations for international students. One of them is private housing (assigned housing) operated by JASSO and student housing operated by local governments and universities. About 86% of international students stay in private housing. If you look for private housing, you can consult with your school s international student office or go directly to a real estate agent in the area where you plan to stay. For more information on accommodations operated by public organizations, please see the website below. (Japanese only) Medical Insurance International students (non-japanese nationals) who plan to stay in Japan for more than one year must be enrolled in the "National Health Insurance" scheme. You need to register at your nearest local city office and pay the insurance premium. The premium varies according to local councils and income. However, in most cases, it is estimated about 20,000 per year. Once registered with the National Health Insurance, you will only pay 30% of any total medical bills. It is important to note that treatments that are not covered by the insurance scheme have to be paid in full at your own expense. In addition, other types of insurance may be required for students who conduct scientific experiments for their studies. 107

4 Employment opportunities after Graduation Under the scheme of the "300,000 Foreign Students Plan", providing employment opportunities after graduation for international students is an important issue. Therefore, JASSO publishes a recruitment booklet, "A Guide to Employment for overseas students" and a network magazine, "Japan Alumni News", while holding seminars on employment issues. The Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare's website also provides useful employment-related information. More information is available through the centers below.
