Japan's welfare policy for international students

Japan's welfare policy for international students

I. Scholarship benefits

According to the nature of the school, different disciplines and majors, the average annual tuition fee for international students is only 30,000-70,000 yuan, and the scholarship system of Japanese universities is gradually enriched and improved. In addition to scholarships from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology of the Japanese government, there are also many private scholarships established by schools and enterprise groups. It can be said that the tuition fees for studying in Japan are very low.

Second, the welfare policy of work-study program.

Studying in Japan not only has low tuition fees, but also has a very good welfare policy for work-study programs! Because the tuition fee for studying in Japan is low, but the living expenses are slightly higher, Japan stipulates that the minimum wage for Japanese students is about 900 yen/hour. Therefore, for China students with ordinary family conditions, when filling in the application materials, the income from weekly work can be regarded as one of the sources of living expenses.

Third, the welfare policy of national health insurance.

Japan is a country where all people participate in medical insurance. All residents living in Japan, including foreigners, are obliged to participate. The medical insurance premium for international students or low-income people will be greatly reduced or reduced. If these people get sick, the Japanese government will bear 70% to 80% of the medical expenses, while the insured only needs to bear 20% to 30% of the medical expenses. In the United States, only about 1/6 people participate in the government's medical insurance plan. In the United States, the average cost of seeing a doctor is twice that of Japan, and ambulances are also charged (Japanese ambulances are not charged). Even in Japan, it costs10 million yen to see a doctor every month, and the actual payment is only about 40 thousand yen. In Japan, no one will be left untreated and abandoned by doctors because of lack of money.

Four. Immigration welfare policy

In recent years, Japan's immigration policy has become more and more relaxed. If foreigners who apply for residence in Japan reach the Japanese level stipulated by the Japanese government, the residence period can be extended from the current 3 years to 5 years. This regulation is very beneficial for college students who have already studied in Japan!

Moreover, it is worth noting that in Japan, children aged 20 19- 10 and 3-5 can attend kindergartens and nurseries for free.

It can be seen from this policy that foreign students holding ordinary visas in Japan can also enjoy this policy. I believe this is undoubtedly a good policy for those who want to emigrate.

First, the cost of studying abroad is low.

Compared with some awards in Europe and America, the cost of studying in Japan is very low. For example, in the United States, the cost of studying abroad is about 200,000-300,000 a year, while in Japan, it only needs about 6.5438+0.5 million-200,000 a year, because many public universities in Japan are tuition-free, and some private universities are also tuition-free.

Second, advanced education.

Education in Japan is very advanced. In Japan, schools care more about students' efforts, learning ability and self-discipline, rather than exam results. Japanese universities carry out honesty education. If students have excellent academic performance, they can generally finish four-year undergraduate courses in three years and two-year master's courses in one year. There are more than 700 universities in Japan, several of which are among the top 100 universities in the world, and their academic qualifications are recognized by the world.

Three. Cultural and geographical location

Japanese culture is very similar to that of China, and its eating habits and customs are also very close. Foreign students here can easily adapt to the environment here and make them feel cordial. Japan is very close to China, with only one hour time difference, so it won't take long to return to China. Japan is an island country surrounded by the sea, and the temperature is relatively mild and humid. Hokkaido is also one of the four major fishing grounds in the world, with rich fish species.

Fourth, you can work legally.

The working hours of international students studying in Japan are 28 hours a week, which is 20 hours in many countries, and there are various forms of work, such as retail stores, supermarkets, restaurants and so on. Excellent grades can also be a tutor, and the cost of working is not low. By the hour, you can reduce some living expenses.

Verb (abbreviation of verb) Good employment prospects.

Studying in Japan, you can master the Japanese language. It is relatively easy to study in Japan and go to some enterprises in Japan after returning to China for development. Japan holds a job fair every year, which can be attended by international students and has a high employment rate. Some Japanese majors also have good employment prospects in China, such as animation, which is very popular in recent years, and is also very popular in China, as well as international trade. Japan's frequent trade with domestic and foreign countries shows its advantages.

1. Law

The legal system in Japan is different from that in China, but this does not hinder the enthusiasm of Japanese students to study law in China. At the same time, Japan has considerable strength in the study of international law (including public international law and private international law), especially in the law departments of Tokyo University and Kyoto University.

2. Engineering

Japan's engineering and scientific research strength is the top in the world, especially in the fields of robots and materials. The engineering majors in China University are basically the same as those in Japan, and the corresponding problems are not serious. However, there are also a few majors that have no counterparts in Japan, such as surveying and mapping, and there are basically no such majors in Japanese national universities.

However, similar majors can be found in areas such as disaster prevention. In addition, in addition to several comprehensive universities with strong engineering research strength, there are also several professional industrial universities with similar research strength, such as tokyo institute of technology, University of Electric Communication, Nagoya University of Technology and Kyushu University of Technology. These are also schools that can choose to apply.

3. Neo-Confucianism

In science, the performance of Japanese universities in this field is even more admirable, which can be seen from the people who won the Nobel Prize in Physics and Chemistry in Japan in recent years.

Generally speaking, the scientific research department has the following professional directions: mathematics, physics, astronomy, chemistry, biological sciences, geography and so on. Generally, there are several affiliated research institutes, which mainly undertake research tasks. The research department undertakes the teaching task, and the division of labor is relatively clear. Japanese people's requirements for engineering and science students are generally lower than those of liberal arts students, basically as long as they are equivalent to Grade II.

4. Communication major

The research strength of information science and communication science in Japanese universities is also world-class, and many revolutionary information technologies are completed by Japanese scientists. Japan has entered the growth stage of a highly intelligent society, and all fields need a large number of talents who know the technology of information collection, processing, transmission, storage and retrieval.

Generally, after studying in Japan, students of this major can basically stay in Japan and work in related software and communication companies, and their salaries and benefits are greatly improved compared with other majors. At the same time, this kind of major does not require very high Japanese for science and engineering students, which is equivalent to Grade 2. At the same time, if you have TOEFL or English TOEFL scores, you can also add points to your application. Students in this major will also tend to apply for scholarships.

5. Art

Art universities are mostly private universities, and the annual tuition fee is about 6.5438+0.8 million RMB, while the tuition fee of state and public universities is relatively low, and the tuition fee after semi-exemption is generally about 6.5438+0.8 million RMB a year. Therefore, state-owned and public universities have become the first choice for art majors in China. At present, public universities in Japan offer the following art majors:

Oil painting, painting, plastic arts, sculpture, Japanese painting, fine arts, comics, environmental design, technical plastic arts, industrial design, technology, industrial design, industrial design and visual communication design.

6. Medicine and pharmacy

Japanese developed medical research and pharmaceutical research have always been popular majors chosen by international students in China. Its advanced laboratory facilities and sufficient scientific research funds ensure the status of Japanese medicine. It also ensures the gold content of the medical professional diploma of Japanese universities. Therefore, the employment prospects are very broad.

Medical majors in Japan are generally divided into three major directions: medical science, disability science research and health care. In Japan, dentistry is generally divided into separate occupations, and nursing is very popular in Japan, mainly because with the aging of Japan, there is an urgent need for a large number of nursing staff to enrich their jobs.

Compared with private universities, the medical tuition fees of Japanese national universities are very cheap, which is basically about one-third to one-fifth of that of private universities.

1. There is a great demand for talents in Japan.

First of all, Japanese society is now in the age of aging and declining birthrate, and many young couples are unwilling to have children, resulting in a serious shortage of social labor. Coupled with the formation of Japanese enterprises' overseas expansion strategy, domestic Japanese enterprises are extremely short of talents facing Japan. Those students who study in Japan are the beneficiaries, which means you can enjoy happiness at home with Japanese salary. Why not?

2. Choosing employment is forward-looking.

Studying abroad and learning cultural knowledge is the most important thing for international students, but in the process of learning, they should also adapt to the society more, which can also make their study easier and put more enthusiasm into their lives. For example, taking a part-time job can not only help you understand Japanese society, but also reduce the burden on your family. Living independently and getting along with others are qualities that society values very much. And while contacting the society, we can also receive some employment information. For example, Japanese IT industry, social welfare, animation and so on are all promising employment directions in China. Therefore, it is also one of the favorable factors for Japanese students to get in touch with society as soon as possible and make themselves forward-looking in employment.

3. Work and life experience

In fact, no matter what major or school you choose. Because I have lived and studied in Japan, I am very familiar with the Japanese environment, and these experiences cannot be measured by money. If you have ever worked as an intern in a large Japanese enterprise, it can be a powerful weapon to help you overcome the difficulties on the road to employment.

4. Strong support from the government

This is for international students from all countries. At present, there is considerable support for overseas students to return to China for employment. Not only the provision of jobs, but also the introduction of some preferential policies, such as the hukou problem in the north, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, and financial subsidies for wage insurance. These are all measures to retain returned talents.
