Is it recognized in Japan to study directly for a Ph.D. instead of a graduate student?

First, if you have a master's degree in China, you can go directly to Japan to study for a doctorate, but if you haven't obtained a master's degree in any country, I'm sorry, you can't go to Japan to study for a doctorate.

Second, after returning to China, you need to go through a procedure called international student certification. When you go through this procedure, you can check whether the school where your degree is located can be recognized by China on the national accreditation website. You can also do the opposite, that is, directly check whether the school you are about to attend belongs to an accredited institution in China, and then make a choice, which will be relatively easy.

Note: International student certification is actually a very simple procedure. You can ask questions again if necessary.

Studying for a doctorate in Japan will be the most unforgettable challenge in your life, because you can graduate in as few as three years and as many as five years, especially in medicine. Even if you get a master's degree in China, you may not get a doctorate. Language will be the first difficulty. Because you have to stay up late in Japanese and English to study for a doctorate in Japan, you can't graduate without publishing papers in these two languages when you graduate! ! ! !
