AHHHH SO HAPPY TO HAVE FOUND YOUR CHANNEL and am so excited to follow along on your grad school journey! I was in Japan for 10 weeks in my second year of my PhD and HAD A BLAST. This brings back so many fond memories 😭
It’s cool man. You are one of the lucky people that have an opportunity to pursue a Ph.D. at the University of Tokyo. Keep it up, dude. Ganbarimashou 👍👍👍
@@プリンスさん if it is combined with a scholarship like for example the MEXT scholarship, then I would say no. In recent years, the number of phd students decreased, so I think there a lot of chances for foreigners to apply!
Loved this video. I went to Tokyo-Yokohama in 2018 for a conference and feel in love! Now, I'm just procrastinating the last part of research paper I need to submit to conclude my PhD. Great video. Enjoy your PhD!
You are an inspiration. I am on hot and cold in applying any PhD program in Japan as my Japanese language proficiency has been fading away. I have no confidence.
If you don't have much time, 7 days is okay, but it would be quite stressful/require a lot of planning. Probably optimal is 14 days with the JR Rail pass, so can you use trains freely for 2 weeks. This way, you could visit a lot of places and really explore Japan :)
Hey Domi, echt cooles Video und es freut mich von dir zu hören und zu sehen. Schön, dass es dir gut geht, auch wenn dein Tag ziemlich gut gefüllt ist ;) Grüße, auf dass wir uns bald wiedersehen und weiterhin viel Erfolg
I'm also a PhD student of Kyoto Univ., and my major is similar to yours. But I can't concentrate on studying in my small one room house whose space is only 6.5 tatami!
こんにちは ドミニク。Hope I got your spelling right,it’s been a hot minute since I spoke in japanese. Anyhow,it’s nice to watch your progress on your PhD. I’m getting through mine right now. It’s nice to know that I’m not alone. ガンバって to you!
2 and half years from now, Im gonna graduate with a bachelor degree, this is my goal if I graduated with a first class degree (3.7) . Im gonna come back here if I am able to make it, now my cgpa is 3.65
Cool vid! I'm currently also in my second years doing PhD. Kinda feeling lost and a lil bit unmotivated today so I tried to find out what other PhD students do out there. Good luck on the internship!
Hey, I have few questions: 1) How much do you get as wages while doing phD? 2) I will be applying for ones in Physics, does it usually takes longer than 3 years ? 3) Comparing your wages and expenses, are you able to save? If yes, how much? on average?
Ah ok.. That's how you know how to code.. It's needed for your PhD.. I was wondering how you were able to do internships while doing your PhD. Is it within the program or did you organize your schedule to allow internships and your university authorized it? Great vids :)
Hi ! Thanks you very much for this video !!! I am in a master in engineering and i want to pursue a Phd in Japan 😀 I woud to ask you 2 questions, have you : Are you paid for your PhD ? The fact to know the Japanese language is it mandatory to pursue a PhD at Utokyo ? Thank you very much in advance !!!
Hey hi bro , I really liked your video. Can you please make a video , how was your application procedure, admission requirements etc ? I have done my Bsc in mathematics from India and currently doing my Masters in Mathematics from University of Münster, Germany. Thank you once again 🎉❤
Hey :) I am doing an Robotics double degree between Nantes and KEIO university in Tokyo. I am considering doing a PhD in this field as well. Can you say anything about the salary you get as a PhD student?
hey, I was looking into UTokyo and was wondering how hard would you say it was to get accepted to the uni, how hard the transition to japan was, would you recommend doing undergraduate studies there and what would you recommend doing to improve your chances of getting into the uni
Hy Dominik. This is rob. I am starting my PhD in Japan, probably around March-April. Do you have any pre-preparation tips for me? I would be very grateful. :)
Hey there! I thoroughly enjoyed your video. I've been dedicatedly studying Japanese for the past year and will be moving to Japan this September. I couldn't be more excited! If you have any valuable tips to share from your experience as a UA-camr or learning Japanese, I would be thrilled to hear them. My goal is to expand my channel and create a helpful resource for teaching English and reaching a wider audience. Keep up the fantastic work!
Hey, I'm considering a University of Tokyo PhD in Plasma Physics, do you know how the physics department is? Is it good for foreigners with just a little japanese? Is the work load akin to the work culture of everyday japanese workers s or is it more like research and time to digest it?
Hi man how are you, i also wanted to enter to that university. Can you make a videoguide, i would be happy. I strongly want to study in Japan automotive engineering.
Very fortunate in this time that you are able to do a PhD in Japan! Also a very interesting one. Can you share also more about your Master's? Like how is it different from Germany and Japan. I am looking for opinions and content on how is it pursuing a PhD in Japan, I think I can have an opportunity to do so.
Uhm... I want to ask - How did you apply to the university? I mean, as a foreigner, you must have had language barrier issues? Why and how did they select you?
Hi! I did my master at TU Darmstadt, a technical university in my home country Germany! I applied for the MEXT scholarship and could enter afterwards! Send me a DM on IG for details :)
One thing I'm very curious about, is the Japanese teacher who you're speaking with, you found her in iTalki? I would like to connect with her to practice my conversational skills.
Ich lebe schon seit 17 Jahren in Spanien und studiere Japanisch als Hobby, immer voll interessant zu sehen wie ANDERS alles in einem fremden Land ist. Klasse!!! ありがとうございます。Ganz liebe Grüße! (〜￣▽￣)〜
I started looking at my phone as I also have same alarm and I am also about to finish my PhD in Mechanical engineering. Are you on researchgate, I would love to read your papers.
I have something to ask. I really want to go to Japan for my Master's degree in computer science. But I came across many reddit posts saying it was not worth pursuing a cs degree there. I really want to study in japan because of its cultural aspects but still don't want to take my education lightly. Can you put some light on this?
Hi sir, nice to see your videos. They're really helpful. I wanna pursue master's degree in Artificial Intelligence in healthcare from Japan (University of Tokyo). Please be kind to share the process to get admission and which department exactly , I should choose for my interested course i.e., Artificial Intelligence in healthcare (AI in radiological diagnosis). Thanks, I'd appreciate any kind of help🙏🏻
Hey do you have a Master degree from Japan as well? Or did you do it in your home country? Germany or Austria I guess ;) Did you make any experience in writing scientific papers before you started your phd studies in japan?
If you get a scholarship like the MEXT scholarship, then you have enough for a almost normal lifestyle. I am also working part-time a bit, which helps further!
No it is not necessary, especially if the university has some English-based curriculum. A lot of my fellow foreign students don't speak Japanese and they are completely fine! Just keep in mind that any kind of JP language certificate is nice for scholarship and university applications.
Looks like you're having fun! Isn't Japanese work life overly formal and oppressive all the time though? I feel like you have to apologize every five minutes, and then apologize later for apologizing incorrectly. Japanese people really need to lighten up
I am a PhD student in computer science. I've only had problems, I'm already tired of this shit. Nothing, absolutely nothing works for me. My main advisor is in another country because he left academia and now works in the industry, all meetings are by zoom. I've been there for two and a half years and I have nothing to publish, in one year I have like 100 nightmares. I work in an empty lab, it's always been that way since it started. I can't talk to my parents or siblings about this, they don't even know what a PhD is, my parents only have elementary education, they always had problems and got divorced, my close family doesn't understand what a PhD is either, for them, the Success is measured in the amount of land, houses and cars that a person accumulates. I have not made friends in graduate school because I worked in empty laboratories. All this has caused me to have terrible self-esteem, I have distanced myself from my family because I am in a bad mood and I don't want to be rude to them. I no longer enjoy anything, I don't care about everything, I no longer practice my hobbies because of the sadness of not getting results. I feel incompetent, I feel like human garbage. I am extremely discouraged, it seems that the PhD has awakened the worst version of me. Sometimes, I would like to quit and go to work at a physically demanding job, at least, at the end of my work day, I will surely have made a little progress: "today, as a waiter, I waited on 10 tables", "today, as a farm worker, I gathered corn from 4 grooves", "today, as a dishwasher, I washed 5 large containers of dirty dishes", "today, as a hand laborer, I carried 1000 bricks to the construction site", all this would be more satisfying than my doctorate, where I have months doing the same experiments and no progress at all. I no longer have feelings of joy or sadness, I no longer feel like I am a person, I am "something" that comes, sleeps and defecates, I have no desires or optimism in the future, I sleep poorly, sometimes I even feel dizzy and tingling in my body. head for sleeping so badly... if they kicked me out of the graduate program, I wouldn't care. My life is totally miserable.
I really sorry to hear this. Ph.D. is really tough when you feel alone during your journey. Where are you studying? Are you Mexican? Please if you need help we can talk :)
Hey hi bro , I really liked your video. Can you please make a video , how was your application procedure, admission requirements etc ? I have done my Bsc in mathematics from India and currently doing my Masters in Mathematics from University of Münster, Germany. Thank you once again 🎉❤

It’s cool man. You are one of the lucky people that have an opportunity to pursue a Ph.D. at the University of Tokyo. Keep it up, dude. Ganbarimashou 👍👍👍
Thank you, I really appreciate it!
Is it hard to pass for Ph.D. in Japan?
@@プリンスさん if it is combined with a scholarship like for example the MEXT scholarship, then I would say no. In recent years, the number of phd students decreased, so I think there a lot of chances for foreigners to apply!
I have done M. Sc in physics. How can i get change in Tokyo University. I am from India?
Greetings from Germany. First time donator, long time watcher. Save the animals
Fascinating stuff :) Saw your comment on tibees video about going to the University of Tokyo
Was supposed to go last year in September to Tokyo for studying, was moved to this sept but obviously didn't happen. Hope you enjoy your time!
Hope the situation gets better soon and you can come :)
@@DominikinJapan Sure hope so! :D
Loved this video. I went to Tokyo-Yokohama in 2018 for a conference and feel in love! Now, I'm just procrastinating the last part of research paper I need to submit to conclude my PhD. Great video. Enjoy your PhD!
Hi Dominik, very nice inside view of a day in your life. Hope c-numbers go down that I can visit you again. All the best and regards, Steffen.
Love looking into the phd programs in japan! Would be looking forward to tips and advices to do a phd in japan!
You are an inspiration. I am on hot and cold in applying any PhD program in Japan as my Japanese language proficiency has been fading away. I have no confidence.

That's a cool video man🇯🇵! and Im rlly inspired because Im currently a Master's student in Australia. Thx! 日本食うまそ！食べたい笑！🤤
Wow, my dream is to visit Japan, that’s so cool you are doing a PhD there!
Definitely come visit Japan, one of the most beautiful countries, especially as a tourist!
@@DominikinJapan how many days do you think would be enough? I would like to see Tokyo but other cities like Osaka for example
If you don't have much time, 7 days is okay, but it would be quite stressful/require a lot of planning. Probably optimal is 14 days with the JR Rail pass, so can you use trains freely for 2 weeks. This way, you could visit a lot of places and really explore Japan :)
I am Japanese !!! I’m so respect you! Because Tokyo University is famous to even enter the University…..
University of tokyo is really cool. Love your video.
What a lovely content, just subcribed. :)

Hey :) I am doing an Robotics double degree between Nantes and KEIO university in Tokyo. I am considering doing a PhD in this field as well.
Can you say anything about the salary you get as a PhD student?
What kind of ML do you specifically use in Mechanical Engineering? Do you use cloud computing service like Colab, Azure or Watson?
I use Physics-Informed Neural Networks, implemented with TensorFlow. We have access to a strong GPU cluster, so no cloud service necessary!
hey, I was looking into UTokyo and was wondering how hard would you say it was to get accepted to the uni, how hard the transition to japan was, would you recommend doing undergraduate studies there and what would you recommend doing to improve your chances of getting into the uni
Hi, Dominik, What programming language do you use for Machine Learning algorithms? Great videos and best wishes in your Ph.D.!
Python~
The Takoyaki looks great 😊
Hy Dominik. This is rob. I am starting my PhD in Japan, probably around March-April. Do you have any pre-preparation tips for me? I would be very grateful. :)

Uhm... I want to ask - How did you apply to the university? I mean, as a foreigner, you must have had language barrier issues? Why and how did they select you?
Hi!! That's a really interesting videos! What uni did you get your masters at? Did you apply directly to UoT or is it some kind of programme? :)
Hi! I did my master at TU Darmstadt, a technical university in my home country Germany! I applied for the MEXT scholarship and could enter afterwards! Send me a DM on IG for details :)
Did you have publications before you got into your phd program ?

In order to do a phd in Japan a master degree of 1 and half year is enough with out thesis or not?
Hi Dominik, thanks for sharing your routine. Did you apply under IME ( International Multidisciplinary Engineering) program?
I applied under the MEXT program!
@@DominikinJapan thanks!
hey how was the application process for university of tokyo? Any advice to someone planning to apply for a PhD there?
Wait did i hear 30min break only?! For lunch?!
I think so :o
Japan ❤
How can I find psychology learning group?

Hi do you know professor takashi ikegami from university of Tokyo
Any scholarship will be provided for international students???
Do you get enough paid for your PhD to live a normal life there or you've got some kind of financial support from your family? Thanks in advance.
If you get a scholarship like the MEXT scholarship, then you have enough for a almost normal lifestyle. I am also working part-time a bit, which helps further!
hello, i would to know how the entrance exam were? contents, or link to entrance exam to graduated school at japan , engineering (PhD) thanks
How difficult is it to take courses taught in japanese?...
반성하고 갑니다 ㅋㅋㅋㅋ ㅠㅠ
Can you tell me how much the current course fees are for masters degrees?for one year
Bro. Do you need to pay any tuition fees for your PHD? Love your videos BTW.
Thank you, I honestly appreciate it! My scholarship covers any tuition fees, you can search and find information by looking up MEXT scholarship!
Is there any fine arts department in your university?
Do we need to know japnese language as well while enrolling for PhD ?
No it is not necessary, especially if the university has some English-based curriculum. A lot of my fellow foreign students don't speak Japanese and they are completely fine! Just keep in mind that any kind of JP language certificate is nice for scholarship and university applications.
@@DominikinJapan Thank you for the information 👍
did you published the paper?
Is it hard should i apply or no because I’ll suffer
Can you give some defination about keigo .
Hi did they give certificate after completing master?
I did my master in Germany, but yes, they give a certificate for completing your master!
What games do you play on switch?
Mostly Mario Kart and Smash, but I am playing usually Apex or TFT on PC FeelsGoodMan
Sorry für die Frage aber bist du irgendwie mit Mr. Nippon verwand? Ihr seht euch suuuuper ähnlich 🙈
