English majors studying in Japan can apply for related liberal arts, such as English education, British and American literature, cross-cultural communication, international society and so on. For this kind of liberal arts major, the minimum requirement for Japanese is to have N2 Japanese proficiency test certificate.
If the level of Japanese is N 1, then most liberal arts majors can apply. For example: literature, education, sociology, psychology, economics, management. However, I want to remind you that the postgraduate stage in Japan is not for you to learn knowledge, but for you to do research. This is a misunderstanding of many people. Why do you need to submit a research plan at the application stage? This is not a form. In addition to letting the professor know some basic information about you, the most important thing is to let the professor know your understanding and pursuit of this subject, and even whether you will provide the professor with a brand-new way of thinking and angle for learning knowledge? This is what you should do as an undergraduate. Therefore, if you want to study psychology and economic management across majors, you must plan ahead and accumulate professional knowledge in advance.
In addition, English scores can be submitted when applying for psychology class, which is the advantage of English majors, while economics and management majors need a certain professional foundation. If there are two degree certificates of related majors, the impact of cross-disciplinary application will be minimized.
Otherwise, if Japanese can't reach the minimum level of N2, you can apply for English teaching program directly. The schools that can apply for this program are all top universities in Japan. There is no need to submit Japanese scores in the application conditions for studying in Japan. You can apply directly from China and enter the monk directly after success. The disadvantage is that the scope of application is narrow and there are not many schools and majors to choose from.
How to arrange the application time for English majors to study in Japan? As the number of graduate applicants is increasing year by year, it is necessary to apply about one year in advance. The best time to apply is to get a Japanese certificate in junior year, choose a school and major in senior year, and get in touch with professors.
If you decide to go to Japan for postgraduate study earlier, you can choose Japanese as your second major or the subject you plan to study after going to Japan, which is helpful for the smooth application and future research and study.
English majors go to Japan to study, and after graduation, they have a wide range of work. Proficient in English and Japanese, can engage in language work, such as translation and teaching (this kind of work requires a lot of languages). Of course, you can also engage in language-based work, such as foreign trade, tourism, study abroad and so on. If you majored in economic management during the monk period, you can also engage in accounting work.
