27/384

(3) If a grantee is judged to be insufficient in Japanese language proficiencies by the receiving university, usually he/she will be placed in aJapanese- language training institution designated by the university of placement or MEXT for the first six-month period after his/herarrival in Japan. Upon completion of the language training the grantee will be placed at a university for advanced education. If a granteehas poor achievement in the language training course and is considered unfit for advanced education at the university, scholarshippayment will stop. (See 4.(1).)

(4) If a grantee is deemed by his/her recipient university to be sufficient in Japanese language proficiency for conducting his/her research inJapan, he/she may be placed in the university as Research Student (non-degree) or a graduate student for a degree without going through

Japanese-language training.(5) If a grantee desires to move on to a regular course for a degree from a Research Student (non-degree) course, or to a doctoral coursefrom a masters course or a professional graduate course, he/she needs to take an entrance examination provided by the relevantuniversity and pass it. To continue receiving the MEXT scholarship after advancing to a higher level, the grantee must undergo anotherscreening examination and be awarded an extension of the scholarship. (See 3.(2).)

A grantee cannot apply for an extension of scholarship term while being enrolled in a Research Student (non-degree) course.(6) If a grantee desires to step up to a regular course for a degree from a Research Student non-degree course, in principle, he/she must

move on to the graduate school of the university at which he/she is studying as Research Student. If proceeding to the graduate school isdeemed to be inappropriate given the grantees major field or ability, he/she may be allowed to transfer to another graduate schoolprovided that he/she is admitted to enroll in.

Note 1: Under the educational system of Japan, a typical master's course lasts for two years subsequent to graduation from a university (i.e.after completion of a 16-year school curriculum), and a typical doctoral course lasts for three years after completion of a master'scourse. If a student has completed such two-, or three-year course, obtained necessary credits, and passed the final examinationafter submitting his/her graduation thesis, he/she will be given relevant degrees.

Note 2: In the fields of medicine, dentistry and veterinary science, and pharmacy which is founded on a 6-year department or faculty, most of

the universities offer only 4-year doctoral courses. For admission to such doctoral course an applicant is required to have completedan 18-year school curriculum. If an applicant completed a 16-year school curriculum, he/she is required to have engaged for two ormore years in research activities at universities or research institutions subsequent to completion of the 16-year curriculum, and tobe deemed by a graduate school in Japan as being academically equal to an applicant who completed an 18-year curriculum.

Note 3: Professional graduate schools were implemented in 2003 designed to develop profound learning and outstanding ability that supportprofessions that require sophisticated expertise. The standard required duration of study is two years. In some fields of study, theduration is less than two years but more than one year. Upon completion of the course a masters degree (specialized occupation)will be conferred.

Among the professional graduate schools are graduates schools of law. This school requires the standard duration of study ofthree years. Upon completion of the course a student will be granted the degree of Doctor of Law (specialized occupation).

Note 4: Entrance examinations given by a graduate school vary from one university to another. In general, applicants have to takeexaminations in two foreign languages, his/her major subject, and an essay test.

8. NOTES

(1) Each recipient is advised to learn the Japanese language and to acquire basic information on Japanese climate, geography, customs,university education, and social conditions in Japan, as well as about the differences between the Japanese legal system and that of his/herhome country before departing for Japan.

(2) The recipient should bring approximately US $2,000 or the equivalent to cover immediate needs after arrival in Japan since the scholarshipwill be paid a while later.

(3) Accommodations : Residence halls for i nternational students provided by universities.

Some universities have residence halls for i nternational students. The grantees enrolled at national universities where such facilitiesare available may reside, in these residence halls under certain conditions. However, because of the limited number of rooms, someof these facilities may not be able to accommodate all the students who wish to live in them.

Private boarding houses or apartments.Those who are not able to find accommodation in the aforementioned facilities may live in regular dormitories of the university or ina private boarding house/apartment. It is very difficult for grantees with dependents to find appropriate housing in Japan. Thegrantee is advised to arrive in Japan alone first to secure housing before having his/her spouse and/or family come over to Japan.

(4) The English texts attached to the Application Guideline and the Application Form are for convenience only. English expressions do notchange the Japanese content, so if you have any questions about the content of the written text, you should inquire at the Japanesediplomatic mission.

(5) More detailed information on this scholarship program is available at the Japanese diplomatic mission in your country.
