Особенности поступления в высшее учебное заведение в Америки, Японии и России

Admission to Japanese university programs is ordinarily by written examination, administered either once or twice each year depending on the program, in Japan, at the target university. An interview may also be required, depending on the regulations of the program and of the university concerned. This admissions process is tailored to Japanese residents schooled within the Japanese education system, the core curriculum of which has a degree of national uniformity at both the secondary and undergraduate levels. It is not appropriate to most overseas applicants.

Overseas admissions are treated specially, in connection with certain scholarship programs or exchange agreements. The relevant paths for admission to programs within the School of Law are outlined below.

3.3 Application Process to Japanese universities

Each university will have different application process. You should check the university homepage, and ask for an application kit. This will usually be sent to you free of charge. You will have to pay this for every university you apply to — Japanese students also have to do the same.

You will usually be required to take the «Examination for Japanese University Admission for International Students» (see below for details), complete an application form for the university, and if in Japan, may be required to have an interview at the University. The university’s application forms among other documents will usually include:

references from academic supervisors/professors/teachers

proof of funding to pay for your studies (at the time of application, you may just require a personal statement to the effect that you are able to fund your studies)

high-school graduation certificate and academic transcript (originals or certified copies)

copy of your passport

passport photographs

If you are also applying for a Monbukagakusho scholarship, then usually you specify your choice of university on the application for the scholarship. If your application for the scholarship is successful, the Monbukagakusho will then allocate you a place at the university you specify on the application or may also require that you take the Examination for Japanese University Admission for International Students. Requirements will vary from university to university, and because of the new entrance exam, procedures have not been confirmed as yet. The application process to Japanese universities is in a state of change. When your application is successful, the university will send you the certificate of eligibility for your student visa.

Conclusion

Russia’s top universities have very competitive entry requirements, and special entry exams are held each year. Students with Russian citizenship, regardless of residency outside of Russia, must apply for studies according to the standard competitive system and directly with a faculty admissions office. If you have dual citizenship, you can apply as a foreign student using the non-Russian passport. Applicants for advanced degrees (M.A./M.Sc., Ph.D., D.Sc.) should have their prior degree in the same or a very similar field. This is a more strict requirement than in some other countries, especially the US.

There is no national system of higher education in the United States. Higher education is given in colleges and universities. Entry requirements include: TOEFL, most of the Universities require Undergraduate GPA to be ¾ (US system). The USA has the highest number of educational institutions providing higher education than any other country.

Speaking about Japanese universities, it’s needless to notice that in spite of the infamous examination hell, most Japanese universities are said to be hard to enter. Admission to Japanese university programs is ordinarily by written examination, administered.
