MEXT Japanese Scholarship Why study in Japan?

Despite its scarce resources, Japan was able to grow economically and become a leading country in manufacturing precisely because of the advanced knowledge and technology fostered by its excellent education system.

 Using its state-of-the-art science, technology and medicine, Japan has introduced many products to the world, including electric vehicles, digital cameras, optical fibers and the artificial heart. Instant noodles, which have changed the dietary life of the world, and Karaoke, are also innovations of Japanese origin. The practice of transforming innovative ideas into creative products goes far back into Japanese history.

Japanese schools focus not only on academic achievements, but also on the development of human quality. This aspect of Japanese schools is highly appreciated by international students, who think the studying experience in Japan helps them after they start working.

Conducive living environment and safe and secure infrastructures:

Even international students who feel anxious after leaving their home country can find some peace of mind while staying in Japan.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

1-I am currently residing in a country other than my home country. As a third country national, can I apply for the MEXT Japanese scholarship through the Japanese embassy in this country, or would I have to return to the country in which I hold citizenship to submit the required documents?

• If you are applying with a recommendation from the embassy, please check your home country’s Japanese embassy’s website or consult the person in charge of scholarships.
  If you are applying with a recommendation from the Japanese host university, please check the website of the Japanese university you wish to enroll in (or are currently enrolled in) or consult the university’s study abroad center.

2-My spouse and I are applying for the MEXT Japanese scholarship together. If our selected major/field of study is the same, is it possible for us to attend the same university?

•          It depends on your university or research institution, so please contact your university/research institution for further information.

3-A copy of the graduation certificate and the certificate of university enrollment qualification examination is acceptable if the copy is attested by an authorized official of the university or an examination authority.
