Hi, Mizhelle! This video was highly informative, so I thank you for this. I've watched two of your other videos so far, and am subbing to your channel because I've enjoyed them all. Anyway, I just want to say that you seem to have a real knack for making KZfaq videos, and wish you the best of luck in the remainder of your studies. Cheers!

Hey, thank you for the informative video, but I still have a question. What exactly did you do as a research student? So, back home you had to pick a field of study that interests you and according to that you had to contact certain professors of certain universities that offered these fields of study? And then you wrote research papers on this (these) topic(s) while being a research student? Sorry for all the questions but I feel like you know how to answer them best :)

Really informative. In my time there were no under-grad thesis system in my country, so that is a new area for me to tackle. I hear there are mandatory courses (Common fundamental courses?) for MA in Japanese universities? A bit worried about those, time management etc., you know?

Hi! I'm glad I found your channel :) love your video, very helpful!! Sorry, did you say your proposal was about fandom and women?! Also, I was wondering... I'm still in university and I wanted to try the MEXT scholarship program for research students after I graduate, but I'm not a straight-A's student... :( I've been part of a research lab for a year though, so I do have a little experience with research. Do you think I have any chance of getting accepted into an uni in Japan? Best wishes!

Flor Hi! Thank you for subscribing. I’m glad you found this video helpful. Honestly, I think you have as good a chance as any. It doesn’t really matter whether you have straight A’s. Have a solid proposal that you believe will benefit your field of study and find an adviser who is in the same line of research. I think the first thing you should do is a thorough literature review. That way, you know the direction your field is heading. From there, you can figure out how you can contribute. Grad school is less about what others have said, but more of what you can add to the ongoing discussion. Good luck!

Mizhelle Wow, thank you so much!!! I'll work hard and make sure to review the literature too! Thanks!!! :)

Hey there, good to know you that you did your Masters in Japan. Actually, I'm also thinking about doing Masters in Japan, but I found out that the number of degrees provide in entirely English is quite limited, isn't it??

@Mizhelle 3 жыл бұрын

Hello! Yes, the degrees offered in English are limited, but they have been increasing over the years. It’s best to check the degrees available on the university first. Some people also take a year of Japanese lessons in Japan before applying for a degree. You can never go wrong with investing in language learning, after all. Hope this helped!

Hi Mizhelle, I am interested in the ITASIA program. Can I ask about the minimum GRE score in order to get into the program? The official website mentioned that there is no minimum, but I would like to know from your real experience. Thank you in advance for your answer.

This video is old but still find this very helpful. I just want to confirm about that required 22 years of studying as I am quite confused. In PH, we have 6 yrs in elem, 4 yrs in HS, 4-5 yrs in College. So 14-15yrs. You mean you took another 7-8 yrs of study in PH before being able to enroll in Japan for Master's program?

@Mizhelle 2 жыл бұрын

I might have gotten it mixed up at the time of recording. I checked the latest MEXT requirements for graduate study (research student) and it says 16 years: www.mext.go.jp/content/20210510-mxt_gakushi02-000014806-02.pdf I remember at the time I was 2 years short so I enrolled in a master's program at UP and started applying for the scholarship after a year and one sem? I also needed recommendation letters so I was able to ask my professors to write them for me. This was all a long time ago, so the details are a bit fuzzy, but I hope this reply helps.

Hi,,, may I ask if you think it's worth it as well how did you manage the cost of living.

@Mizhelle 11 ай бұрын

At the end of the day, yes! The research skills I learned from grad school help in what I do today, both as a digital marketer and a creator. As for the cost of living, I worked part-time at a konbini and that greatly helped.

Depends on the immigration bureau. You might get 1 or 2. If you get 1, you just apply to renew it a month or so before it expires.

Interesado din ako mag-aral sa Japan. Wala akong paki ke mahal ung tuition. Gusto ko lang tumira sa Japan and para hindi ako mabored, may kausap ako and kaibigan, since wala naman akong kamag-anak jan, mag-aaral na lang ako. Gusto ko kasi kumain ng mga sushi and ramen. Kasi healthy siya. Tapos impressed din ako sa disiplina and honest ng mga Hapon. Pati ung dedication and passion nila sa trabaho. And syempre mahilig ako sa Japanese porn. Paborito ko talaga is ung News Reporter Porn na ibubukkake mo ung announcer. Gusto ko ung submissive na babae na naiyak pa na maingay pag kasex mo. Bilang forex trader, di issue sa akin pera. Yan nga una kong sinolve sa buhay ko eh. Gusto ko na lang talaga ng bagong environment. And since sobrang hanga ako sa Japan, jan ko napili mag-aral. Sana may mapangasawa akong Hapon. Sana di sila racist kasi tangina may pera din naman ako. Tangina nila. Lahat naman ng tao pantay2x na ginawa ng Diyos, wala namang superyor na lahi.

@Mizhelle 5 жыл бұрын

You speak as if an American accent is something one should aspire to have. I hardly think it is. 😂 Actually, if I could choose to have an accent, I'd like to be able to speak English with an Irish accent. Sounds jollier. But alas, whatever sound I make is what comes naturally when words roll out of my mouth. Thanks for the laugh. And I hope you have a good day. You seem like you're in dire need of one.
