samtobbie:
This mating produced just one beautiful puppy even tho we expected more. The puppy is 1week old today. Would be available for pickup in 7weeks.

So a dogs do litter just a pup?

tosade1:
these beauties still available

20k, I need a male.

The puppies even appeared confuse. Don't know why Nigerians likes cross breeding dogs?

Fair enough, I think Estonia could be a sensible option if you regard it as stepping stone (for example, enrolling master's programme in the very best university there, then apply for PhD position in top-tier universities in high income countries). Heck I know some friends who did the same thing, but by obtaining master's degree in mid-tier Japanese university to jump to better universities in Japan and sometimes beyond.



I don't know your field, but you can find a few examples of lab webpages (or professor's homepage) in links below. Perhaps none of them are of your field of interest. Just wanna show you what university-affiliated Japanese lab looks like.

https://www.mces.titech.ac.jp/authors/kitano/ (chemistry lab in Tokyo Tech)
http://www.fret.lif.kyoto-u.ac.jp/e-phogemon/index.htm (pathology lab in Kyoto University)
https://sites.google.com/site/yasuyukisawadapage/home (Tokyo University economics professor's webpage)
http://www4.math.sci.osaka-u.ac.jp/~twatanabe/ (Osaka University math professor's webpage)
http://www2.bpes.kyushu-u.ac.jp/~www-met/index.html# (agriculture lab in Kyushu University)
http://www.ifs.tohoku.ac.jp/enerdyn/en/index.html (mechanical engineering lab in Tohoku University)

Once again, Google is your friend.

Very well appreciated. I studied Accounting but would wanna major in either business management or Economics.

For graduate school, you can contact the potential supervisor directly. Prior to that, you need to list the ones that are most likely to suit your field and even better, if they publicly announce that they are actively looking for new members for certain project. Most labs in top universities have official webpage and they routinely post these information, not only vacancy but also new publications as well. Mind that graduate studies in Japan are mostly research-based and one needs to be assigned to a lab (and research project supervisor). Therefore, you have to do some research about what projects they are conducting recently. At least you understand and well-versed in the concepts of what these labs are doing to start with.

Thanks alot boss. Please can you share me a link of any of these universities webpage where one can contact the professors directly. Been on that since but got no head way.

blackbriar:
That is not what he said.

1. They are prestigious high ranked universities in Japan like too 5, you have to be good academic ally to get in
They are University of Tokyo (Todai)
Kyoto university
Hokkaido University
Tohoku university
Can't remember the other now.

2. You can get in with 2.2 for a graduate program in even the mentioned universities in number 1, but it depends on the professor in charge of the specialist ion course you want to do. Which is why we have always said on this page. Always send mas to the professor. If he accepts to have you in his lab based on the research plan you sent to him.then you will get admission

You just calmed my nerves down with this info. Bro, how do one get in touch with the course professors because all these while it's the school's international admission department i have been communicating with via email? No vex oo, just give son of man link.

NaotoKan:
It won't be stated but by looking at your transcripts, you would be gauged. If you target Imperial Universities (Japan's equivalent to the Ivy League), it's important to present good grades to stand a chance. Everything depends on the course, faculty and university. The more prestigious the faculty and university, the higher the requirements. Just like applying for Pharmacy at UNN has different requirements from Zoology in the same school. Since I don't know your grade, I cannot make any definitive statement. But let's say it's 2.1 (3.5/5.0), fair and good. Private universities (Keio, Kwansei Gakuin University, Waseda, APU etc) could accept lower grades but are really expensive. So stick with national universities. For instance, a semester's fee at Kwansei Gakuin is equivalent to the annual fee in Tokyo Tech or Tohoku University (Tokyo Tech and Tohoku University offer better job opportunities and are highly ranked than all private universities. Only Waseda and Keio come close).

The high grades I mentioned is for someone who is undergoing or about undergo undergraduate studies in Nigeria. The higher one's grades, the better. Expect more people to flee Nigeria when the pandemic is over, so people currently studying should be at their very best.

Yes, Nigeria isn't considered a native English speaking country just like Kenya or Ghana. I believe it's because Caucasians aka white people have made SA their home country. Since they are the richest and powerful racial group in the world, they made it possible.

I don begin fear seriously, so one with a 2.2 result doesn't stand much chance. Do they offer something like a post graduate diploma course over there for a graduate with a weaker Bsc who may be unable to secure a direct admission for a master's program?

NaotoKan:
Also, you would need to provide bank statement showing you can afford the minimum of living costs in the area which your university is located. The bigger the city, the more your expenses. Thus, expect a bigger requirement for Tokyo and smaller requirement for smaller cities like Tottori and Co. So if the cost of writing the IELTS deters you, mehn, you have to restrategise. Fortunately, you still have time as the next admission season is for October 2021

The cost of the exam wasn't my problem then but the timing(lockdown plus my urgency in wanting to take off from this country immediately). Not planning on using my bank statement because money no dey am at all, my elder brother's bank statement is what i am gonna use because he is the one standing as my sponsor. Sir, you made mention of having a high grade, my grade ain't quite on the high side but was told that Japanese national Universities doesn't look at grades, but just have a Bsc certificate and you are good to go.

NaotoKan:
That's a wrong way in looking at the issue. The course you intend applying for is taught in English and the institution needs to verify that you speak and understand English. Now, the belief that Nigeria is an English speaking country only applies to lingua franca not the academic or professional world. In Africa, only South Africa is considered a native English speaking country. Kenyans, Ghanaians and the rest would have to write English proficiency tests. Even Singaporeans write the IELTS, why not Nigerians whose system are corrupt and untrustworthy? If you are applying to a top university, it's very important you write the IELTS as scholarships are dependent on it, it's for your good o. Unless your school isn't a top university or included in the Global 30 program, but your posts come across as someone who needs these scholarships, so write it. Before you mention the price of IELTS, you should think of school fees and other expenses. It's a sacrifice you are making. You are not applying to Unilag, UNN or CU.

Save money, write the test. Admission is relatively easy provided you present all relevant documents.

Already concluded on writing mine by January 2021. My annoyance with the condition was that i wanted leaving naija unfailingly this year because the admission period is always in October but due to the lockdown, wrting IELTS was impossible as at that time and that made me angry. On another note, Nigerians speak better English than south Africa how come SA is regarded as an English speaking country than our country Nigeria?

blackbriar:
This is new but however I can understand

I have seen Bangladeshi , Sri lankans with mehnnn English that will warrant knocks from popsy and momsy

Plus the ielts helps the University for its ranking . Ranking helps the University attract more funding.

I think my university lost its mext University slot cos of this.

Try close eye write am.
Kplele
To escape Naija no easy

Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha and i really wan leave this naija. Planning on writing it by next year January.

Have been communicating with several national Universities in Japan for a post graduate program and i discovered that you are even allowed to pay your tuition twice but the only factor still holding me back is that they are all demanding for an IELTS certificate. Japan that doesn't speak English is making IELTS compulsory for we Nigerians that English is our lingua franca.

peacefull:

Thanks for the information.

I greet everyone. Please, what's the Covid19 situation presently in Japan pertaining to opening up of their air ports and embassies world wide?

Nobody on front page was able to give a reasonable answer to the poster's question. Just saying rubbish all in the name of commenting.

MarieSucre:
Yes, no one ever gets sick. By your logic Chadwick Boseman was paid to die of cancer.

You know nothing like Jon Snow for comparing cancer to covid19 which is an over rated flu.

UjuJoan2:
I don't understand? You think what she's doing is right?

I guess you also think getting pregnant before marriage is 'normal'

I love you already.

JustEdward:
I got tired oh, because I haven’t seen any Nigeria student there in Japan as I heard their Visa is very tedious

I noticed so too. In other travel threads you get to meet students giving their first hand experience and also guiding prospective students on steps to follow.

blackbriar:
Oga this has been answered numerous times on this thread., which is only 27 pages.
Japanese student visa is very easy to get, just present your admission letter.

Not making reference about the visa but about getting the admission. Like do Japanese schools request for IELTS from Nigerians?

Is it that there is no Nigerian currently studying in any of the Japanese universities who could guide some of us on how to gain admission into any of the national Universities in Japan for either undergraduate or post graduate study.
