Exploring a different culture than your own opens up new doors in life that you could never have anticipated. You should most definitely consider studying abroad in Japan. Japanese institutions are well-known for their superb reputation and amenities. Their global reputation for innovation and research is evident in the fact that over 40 of their schools are listed among the top 200 universities in the world. This article helps you explore all of your options to study in Japan so that you make the most out of your education as an international student in the country.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Education_System_In_Japan\"><\/span><b>Education System In Japan<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bachelor&#8217;s, Master&#8217;s, and PhD degrees are available in a variety of subjects and disciplines via the Japanese university system. Private or governmental universities and junior colleges provide higher education in Japan. The Japanese Ministry of Education and Culture (MEXT) is the government agency in charge of education, culture, and language issues.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Japanese university system is distinguished for its egalitarianism, quality, and performance. According to the OECD&#8217;s Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), the average student in Japan scores 540 in reading, literacy, maths, and science, making the country one of the top countries in students&#8217; abilities and talents internationally!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Japanese university system uses a four-tiered grading system:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A: y\u016b (\u512a) Very Good (80-100%)<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">B: ry\u014d (\u826f) Good (70-79,99%)<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">C:&nbsp; ka (\u53ef) Average, Pass (60-69,99%)<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">F: fuka (\u4e0d\u53ef) Fail (0-59,99%)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.unischolarz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/22143921\/agathe-marty-2cdvYh6ULCs-unsplash-min-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"study in japan\" class=\"wp-image-4443\" style=\"width:477px;height:318px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.unischolarz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/22143921\/agathe-marty-2cdvYh6ULCs-unsplash-min-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.unischolarz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/22143921\/agathe-marty-2cdvYh6ULCs-unsplash-min-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.unischolarz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/22143921\/agathe-marty-2cdvYh6ULCs-unsplash-min-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.unischolarz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/22143921\/agathe-marty-2cdvYh6ULCs-unsplash-min-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.unischolarz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/22143921\/agathe-marty-2cdvYh6ULCs-unsplash-min-2048x1367.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/cdn.unischolarz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/22143921\/agathe-marty-2cdvYh6ULCs-unsplash-min-1080x721.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/cdn.unischolarz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/22143921\/agathe-marty-2cdvYh6ULCs-unsplash-min-1280x854.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/cdn.unischolarz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/22143921\/agathe-marty-2cdvYh6ULCs-unsplash-min-980x654.jpg 980w, https:\/\/cdn.unischolarz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/22143921\/agathe-marty-2cdvYh6ULCs-unsplash-min-480x320.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Top_Universities_In_Japan\"><\/span><b>Top Universities In Japan<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Japanese government is attempting to attract more overseas students and has set a target of 300,000 international students by 2020. As a result, institutions are focused on making life simpler for international students, from the admission process to finding work after graduation. Here\u2019s a list of some of the best universities to study in Japan &#8211;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">University of Tokyo<\/span><\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kyoto University<\/span><\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Osaka University<\/span><\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Waseda University<\/span><\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tokyo Institute of technology<\/span><\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keio University<\/span><\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kobe University<\/span><\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tuition_Fees\"><\/span><b>Tuition Fees<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When compared to other popular study locations such as the United States or the United Kingdom, tuition in Japan for international students pursuing Bachelor&#8217;s, Master&#8217;s, and Doctorate degrees is fairly inexpensive. Tuition in Japan is between 20 and 23,000 USD for Bachelor&#8217;s degrees, 12,000 USD for Master&#8217;s degrees, and 5,000 USD for Doctorate degrees every academic year.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Furthermore, bear in mind that each university application comes with an application cost, which varies depending on the programme and university. Bachelor&#8217;s, Master&#8217;s, and PhD programmes in medicine and pharmacy are much more expensive due to the extended study duration.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Enrollment in the National Health Insurance is an extra expense for all overseas students studying in Japan (NHI). National Health Insurance is vital since it lowers medical expenditures in the event of an injury. After you have obtained your visa\/residence permission, you may register for the insurance at your nearest local municipal office in Japan.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_And_How_To_Apply\"><\/span>When And How To Apply?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Japan, the majority of universities conduct admissions twice annually, with one intake for the spring semester, commencing in April, and another for the autumn semester, which starts in September. Presently, numerous universities facilitate online application submissions, and applicants can readily access information regarding application deadlines on the university&#8217;s official website. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Schedule&nbsp;<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Spring Semester<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Autumn Semester<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Submit the initial application online and pay the application fee<\/td><td>November<\/td><td>March<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Post additional application documents to school<\/td><td>December<\/td><td>April<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Notice of admission<\/td><td>February<\/td><td>June<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Tuition payment and visa application<\/td><td>February &#8211; March<\/td><td>July-August<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>School start<\/td><td>April<\/td><td>September<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Documents Needed: <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Application form<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Personal statement<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Official transcript from high school and\/or university<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Graduation certificate<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Valid standardized test scores (SAT\/ACT\/TOEFL\/IELTS\/EJU)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Letters of Recommendation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Passport photocopy<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b><i>Click on the banners and get a free student loan &amp; property consultation today!<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Accommodation_Other_Living_Expenses\"><\/span><b>Accommodation &amp; Other Living Expenses<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the key reasons to study in Japan is the safe atmosphere since Japan is regarded as one of the safest countries in the world, with extremely low crime rates. When compared to other study places, the expense of living in Japan is excessive, especially if you choose to live in the capital, Tokyo. Nevertheless, it boils down to the kind of lifestyle you lead.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, Fukuoka, Sapporo, and Yokohama are among Japan&#8217;s most student-friendly cities, offering alternatives to suit every budget. As an international student looking to save your living expenses in Japan, staying in a university dormitory is a terrific alternative.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Scholarships_To_Study_In_Japan\"><\/span><b>Scholarships To Study In Japan<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As an international student, you can be eligible to apply for <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/unischolars.com\/blog\/which-are-the-best-scholarships-to-study-in-japan\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">scholarships to study in Japan<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

The list is available at Japan&#8217;s Ministry of Foreign Affairs. If you are a citizen of one of these nations and need to visit Japan for a short amount of time, you can do so without a visa for 90 days.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, all overseas students who wish to study in Japan must get a Japanese student visa. Your admission university must be the sponsor in order for you to receive a study visa. Keep in mind that you are not permitted to work during your studies unless you obtain permission from the university or the immigration office, and you are only permitted to work for a few hours each week.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b><i>Thank you for reading this <\/i><\/b><b><i>Study In Japan<\/i><\/b><b><i> Guide.
