1. Cost of living.
2. Where can I get a better degree.
3. My chance of being accepted in their university.
4. My chance of getting a job after graduating.

Please if you have a better suggestions aside the two countries I gave, I am open to learning from you.

Cousin9999:


1. Neither is affordable.
2. Neither offers an especially competitive international education.
3. Both will gladly accept you to any uni and take your money while telling you the education is competitive.
4. Singapore is racist. There's no jobs there for you unless you're already working for a foreign firm that sends you there. Even if there were, you would be treated terribly. Japan is also racist. The only jobs available to you are English teaching and factory work. In both jobs, you likely won't be paid (or paid barely anything), will be abused, and will be in unsafe conditions. Japan also has no laws against racism. And any labor laws in Asia mean nothing. Ask any well-educated Asian in a real profession how much those labor laws mean, and watch them laugh. Asia is not Europe. It just looks the part. Don't be fooled.

Focus on west Europe and North America.

Thanks but i do not agree with your assertions, and as such i will speak for Japan.
1. Japan is relatively affordable. tuition in National universities is 600,000 yen annually. and masters programs are 2 years research program.
2. Japan offers competitive international education. do not take my word for it, simply google and check the QS world university rankings.
3. All schools in the world will take your money. The issue is what would you learn. Masters programs in Japan are research based not course work.
4. everyone is racist. English and factory work becomes the only job option available to you if you refuse to even learn basic japanese. in the IT field in which i suppose robotics belongs to , you don't need to be fluent to get jobs in that field. Infact with a college degree and experience , it is far more easier for you to get a job in IT field and in Factory. I know some many foreigners working for micro pressor and semi conductor companies in Saitama and Hiroshima, with basic japanese language ability. if also in doubt check LinkedIn Japanese job page.

In summary, would it be tough, hell YES,
Would it be worth it, SUPER HELL YES.
Would you look back and say i am glad i chose Japan to study... HELL YES with all the struggles japan will throw at you.

^ People like this promote Japan because they're paid to do it. Why?
- They're an agent.
- They work for universities.
- They're a scammer.

All of the individuals above are trying to sell you a dream, and hoping your ignorance and/or desperation is stronger than your common sense.

I know it's hard to judge what's true if you just don't have accurate information, experience, or know anyone you trust. I also recognize that the west heavily promotes Japan as a good place. But that's just not true. Even foreigners who go there under the best circumstances (foreign firm, high paying jobs) don't see it that way.

Please point out anything i have said that seems like a scam.
I am no agent , neither i have claimed to be one, nor tried to provide any services here.
I also do not work for any university in Japan.
Japanese universities do not use recruitment agent.
All admission process to Japanese universities is paper work based.
You print all the required admissions forms , fill and send by post.
So what is the false hope i have offered?

^This person is probably Asian. lol

tensazangetsu20:
Better go to Japan. You gain citizenship and permanent residency after 5 years. Singapore nothing for you. God forbid you come back to the zoo after your studies.
