Thank u so much, just came back from a trip in Fukuoka it was beautiful, as u said the beaches are great and so are the cafes! I also got a chance to check out kyushu university but sadly since I went on a Sunday everything was closed, got to roam around the outside though and learned how to get there 😁💪. The school is way bigger than it looks on pictures, I was pretty surprised. Hopefully i’ll be here next year (I’m class of 2025 hoping to do aerospace engineering). Thanks so much once again - Ashmita :)
That's so awesome!! I am so glad that you were able to experience those! It's a shame everything was closed, but at least it wasn't crowded haha! I wish you the best of luck in getting here! I know you'll be able to do it, and I know you'll have such a great time here :D
Thank you for the informative video as usual . One question i would really appreciate if you would answer is , say if i apply for a masters program in kyushu uni , do i need to apply for the scholarship of mext separately ? or is it just awarded to the students automatically if the have a good academic resume ? i wanna study there by applying to MEXt hopefully next year so , if you see this comment please show me the light !
Thank you so much for the video. Quick question: If we pass the secondary screening, will they also give us questions about math/physics/chem outside personal questions? Because I'm scared that I couldn't answer it.. (for engineering program)
Fortunately, no subject related questions are asked! Just make sure you know what you wrote in your personal statement and what your motivations are and you'll be fine! Of course, this may change over the years, but I imagine the interview process will likely not change much. Best of luck to you!!
@@JakeyInJapan That's a relief.. thank you so much for answering! 😊 I'm planning to enroll at the Kyushu University IUPE program majoring in civil engineering next January. I've been preparing all the docs including competition certificates since then.. I hope I'll also become a part of Kyushu Univ just like you next year! 😔
Hey Jake, how is it in terms of study pressure at kyushu? Do you have to be attending every single class or are you able to go away for a week? I want to go back home with christmas but probably will have classes to late december
You definitely will have a strict attendance policy, but so long as you attend your classes until Christmas and let your professor know before you leave, you won't have a problem! I actually did the same thing, leaving halfway through one of my classes to go to the airport to go home for Christmas! One of my classes actually agreed to have class on zoom so I could attend from the US. It was a Japanese language course, so we had a lot of flexibility with it. I did have to miss others, though. Depending on which courses you'll be missing, your experience may vary. A few absences are more than okay, though! I think three is generally the limit
Quick question, do you know whats the daily schedule like for freshmen in engineering? Like how many classes/hours a day, or if there's breaks in between? Thx in advance
The daily schedule will certainly vary for each student, so it's tough to give a proper answer as far as breaks/hours/etc go, but you can find examples of schedules for each academic year on their website! I'll link it below for you! qubes.kyushu-u.ac.jp/list.php?CONTENTS=11
I was wondering if JLPT will help me in applying? I understand it isn't required, but will it help my application be favored? I'm pretty confident I can pass N4 with a bit of studying, but idk if its worth it.
Unfortunately it won't help. The entire program is in English, so all that matters is either you are a native English speaker or have a high score for an English proficiency test. I wish the JLPT helped, though.. If you do want to take it, take it in Japan! It's much cheaper here, so a lot of my friends did it!
No Japanese proficiency needed at all! In fact, a lot of the friends I made here had never studied Japanese before! I would highly recommend learning as much as you can, though, as it will greatly improve your experience here! :)
Hey Jake, when did you arrive in Japan and what was the date on your visa for entry in japan? I got my student visa and it says that I can enter anytime starting from 23 August. I want to arrive in Tokyo on 10 Sep and go to Fukuoka on 18 Sep. Can immigration deny entry at Tokyo because I come too early even though it is allowed by the visa? I can show reservations for the 1 week hotel stay in Tokyo, if needed? I will check into my Uni dorm on 18th Sep.
Hello!! The entry date on my visa was Aug 23 as well, but I entered Japan on September 19. The only reason I came that day was because it was the first day I was allowed in the dorms. Plenty of my friends arrived early and traveled/stayed in other locations, so you're completely okay! However, upon entry, you will need to specify where you will be staying and provide an address, so I would definitely show them that reservation! I'm excited for you, man! It's coming up soon! Best of luck!!!
@@JakeyInJapan hey really thanks for your reply. Thanks for taking out the time to get back again and again for my questions. If I arrive in tokyo on 10th sep and show them the hotel reservation from 10th to 18th, will that be sufficient. Did you know someone who was successfully able to enter early? I really don't wanna get deported 😭
@@amansharma2870 No problem! Sorry I was a few days late! Yes, that should be perfectly fine! And yeah, I think 2 or 3 of my friends came early and stayed in Tokyo or traveled around during their time before the dorms were available! Even if the worst case scenario happens, you always have a 90 day tourist visa. I accidentally cancelled my visa when I went to Thailand, so I had to get a tourist visa and then another student visa when I returned to Japan. The staff is so nice and helpful too, so you'll be fine! Your visa is active anyways; go enjoy yourself, man!
@@JakeyInJapan I think the 90 day tourist visa is not for my country (india) so I can only enter on my student visa. Well, I also believe there should be no problems. I will see if it's possible to go to tokyo first.
I tried looking around their website a little bit and couldn't find anything indicating whether or not they would. I would imagine so long as you have standardized test scores like SAT or ACT, you should be okay to apply!
@@JakeyInJapan Thank you so much for the reply. I have mailed them 2 times and looked out on their website and they mentioned they're "ambiguous" that GED is accepted. I will be sitting for my SAT exam really soon and they have mentioned the mark that is required for the subject. I was wondering if they accept GED cause I don't have any other high school diploma, anyways I am also applying to Nagoya G30, hoping to get accepted in one of these two universities !
@@saalimsaadman3648 Ah, that's frustrating that you can't get a clear answer. At least you're able to take the SAT and submit that, though! Good luck with that test; I really hated taking it myself lol! And good luck with the applications as well! I'm sure you'll be able to get in!!
@@JakeyInJapan Lastly, Is the engineering department open for 2025 Ocotber batch? The website is showing only for Department of Bioresource and Bioenvironment. Can I apply for ME/EECS for the next 25 oct?
@@saalimsaadman3648 I would imagine that it would be open for the October 2025 class. However, I can't say for certain; I apologize. Perhaps reaching out to someone may be a good idea, but even I have been having trouble getting in touch with the university, so I can't say for sure how soon you would get a response...
Bro i would like to know about entrance exam of MSc in EEE Kyushu University... Please help me. Please recommend me or help to connect with a student who pass this exam. Please.....(I was search a lot but i couldn’t find one) 🥲
Unfortunately, I do not know any students who are currently in that program or plan to take the exam. All of my friends are undergraduate. I can ask around, but I might not be able to find someone. I will let you know!
