How to contact the professor when applying for graduate students in Japanese universities?
First, we should find the contact information of professors in colleges and universities.
At present, there are two popular contact methods, one is the university official website, and the other is to get the contact information of professors through the university academic affairs office. If the above two methods fail, then at this time we can use the powerful network to search the contact information of professors through Google, Facebook and Yahoo.
However, it is worth noting that if the professor says please contact through the academic affairs office of the university, it means that the professor does not accept personal contact. Then let's not contact the professor rashly, or it may be counterproductive.
Second, personal statement is very important.
A letter of recommendation is the first business card to impress a university professor. How to write a letter of recommendation is a science. A general recommendation letter should contain basic information about yourself, such as your name, age, place of birth, your university, major, your current English level, Japanese level and so on. On the other hand, explain why you want to study this major and why you choose this university and this major for further study. If the professor writes back, it means that the professor is interested. You can send the detailed research plan to the professor for further communication.
Friends who are confident in their Japanese suggest writing letters of recommendation in Japanese, so that the professor's response rate will be higher. It is suggested that when writing letters of recommendation in Japanese, you should use でぁる instead of です and ます.
Third, the research report (research plan), a good research plan is definitely a plus item on the way to the exam.
Both liberal arts students and science students should pay attention to it. A good research plan can reflect the education quality of students. Here, it is necessary to deeply study the research direction of the favorite professor, and how to smoothly combine what you want to learn with the research direction of the professor is an important topic.
After the professor replied that he was interested in your research plan, he was most concerned about the preparation of your study abroad funds and your plans after graduation.
At this time, you need to send the proof of funds prepared in China and future plans to the professor. Most professors hope that their students can continue to pursue doctoral degrees after completing their graduate studies, so it is best to write their own wishes for further study when writing graduation projects.
