There are six main categories of expenses that may be involved in studying in Japan, namely: examination materials, admission fees, teaching materials fees, accommodation fees, living expenses and other expenses.
The following is a detailed explanation.
Verification material
The verification material refers to the material examination fee paid when submitting the corresponding application materials to Japanese universities, which is equivalent to the registration fee for examination or examination, and is paid only once.
And the fees in most schools are basically the same. The average graduate student is 9800 yen, and the monk is slightly higher, generally 30 thousand yen.
Some special majors, such as art or private universities, may also be slightly higher. However, it is possible to apply for multiple schools at the same time when applying for Japanese universities, so you need to pay multiple fees.
admission
Admission fee refers to the fee that needs to be paid before entering school, and it is only paid once when entering school.
Different from domestic students, all undergraduates, graduate students, monks, doctors and language schools need to pay admission fees, which is called the admission fee system in Japan.
The admission fees of most schools are the same, but the fees will be different according to their status. For example, the admission fee for graduate students is generally 84,600 yen, and that for monks is generally 282,000 yen.
As long as you are sure to enter this school, you need to pay. Of course, even if you give up the admission later, the admission fee will not be refunded.
textbook
Teaching materials refer to tuition fees, which can be paid once every six months or once a year.
The tuition fee for graduate students for half a year is about 200,000-400,000 yen, and that for monks is about 300,000 yen, which can be said to be quite cheap.
Hotel charges
In Japan, the average accommodation fee for college students is 40 thousand yen per month.
If you choose to live on campus, it will be about 20,000-60,000 yen per month. Of course, if you want to rent a house outside, the cost will be higher, about 60,000-80,000 yen per month.
Renting a house will be relatively more free and have more private space, but it is not as safe and convenient as living in a school. Many times you may not be able to rent a house near the school, so the transportation fee may be another big expense.
living expenses
The average cost of living in Japan is around 8-65438+ 5,000 yen per month.
If you live in high-consumption areas such as Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka, the cost will naturally be higher. Like Hokkaido, Shikoku and Kyushu, the cost will be slightly lower.
If you want to work in Japan to earn living expenses, it is also an option. Generally speaking, the average hourly wage in Japan is about 1 1,000 yen/hour. I need to remind you that you can't work more than 28 hours a week in Japan.
Of course, you are not recommended to work, but it is a good choice to focus on study, work occasionally and integrate into Japanese life.
other charges
In addition to the above five main expenses, others include national health insurance, school membership fees, utilities, telephone charges, commuting fees and so on.
If you want to study in Japan, you must join the national health insurance, which can protect your rights and interests in Japan in case of any personal accident.
Of course, the reimbursement amount of national health insurance is also relatively high, reaching 70%, so you don't have to worry about going to the hospital when you are sick in Japan. After deducting insurance reimbursement, I actually spend very little money.
In addition to insurance premiums, many schools will set up some clubs. If you want to join, you have to pay some membership fees.
In addition, other things such as utilities, telephone charges, commuting fees and so on also vary from person to person. Need to be reminded that it is more expensive to take a taxi in Japan. I suggest you take public transportation. Japan's public transport network is relatively perfect.
These are the main places to spend money studying in Japan. Taking all these situations into account, we can get the approximate cost of studying in Japan for one year, which is almost150,000-200,000 RMB a year.
