MEXT Scholarship 2015 (Research Students)
- Thread starter EUS0J
- Start date
I cant answer that specifically tanyssg, but whenever I had questions like that, I would call the embassy, and they would usually have an answer.
The Japanese embassy websites usually say around January or February but I tend to see people who get their notification in December
Thx drewa, hope it is in December, the sooner, the better
hey guys, I have a question. it's a bit complicated here
first, I applied for a master's degree, not a research student. I'm in Business administration field.
I contacted the university and they suggested that I should take an admission exam of 2015 Spring semester now and they will provide an acceptance letter in august. but the timing is not right.
- I told them that I would like to take the admission exam of 2015 Fall after arriving in Japan while I'll be studying japanese language. is it possible?
- they said they can accept a course-based registration in advance to enrollment, so I asked them if there's any confirmation like acceptance letter for non-regular student or something like that. still waiting for reply tho.
in case that I make a course-based registration, will MEXT cover pre-course fees?

Hey Maggie,
what did you circle in the aplication form, research student or master degree student?
Generally, if people start straight with a degree course they are supposed to be sufficient in Japanese unless the course is in English .Otherwise, they take those preparatory language classes and so (if I am not mistaken)
I aplied for a research student,dont know more details about master degree. I would recommend you to discuss this matter with someone from the embassy in your country

Since I just know few words in Japanese, I prefered to say thanks and vow at the end of the interview. I was afraid that if I start talking in Japanese they would start asking things I would not understand.
Also try to practice with someone questions like, Why your research is important to be done in Japan and Why you want to study in Japan.
Hope it helps
Good Luck

Hello nice peopleI wonder if someone could help me with this doubt I've been having? It's about the application for the scholarship as a research student. When you choose your options, does it have to be only universities, or can I apply directly to an institute of research? I'm asking this because next year I'll apply for the scholarship and there's a certain institute where I'd love to conduct my research. That institute belongs to an university, but it funcions independently. Later I pretend to extend that reseacrh in a master's course of that same univeristy, but I want to start as a research student first, so I was wondering if it's okay to put that institute as an option, or if it has to be the university. I tried to contact the embassy in my country but didn't get an answer yet, so I was wondering if someone here that went through that process could help.
Thank you in advance
I'm currently in an institute of research under MEXT. You apply to the university since that's where you will be registered as a student. Typically you find the appropriate professor and either they will be professors at the university as well or there will be an arrangement with another professor and lab at the university to act as your lab for university purposes.
Typically you contact the professor and they'll set you up with the procedures you need to apply to the University with the intention of researching at the related institute. Other universities ask that you contact them first before talking to professors. Obviously then you contact the University first.

Hello everyone! Am new to this forum.
I was just wondering if anyone has already heard from the embassy in your country regarding the MEXT primary screening.
Thank you for your time!

Welcome to the forum! Here in Malaysia we just finished with the interview stage end of last month and is still waiting for our results. It's nerve wrecking!! (Unless everyone got it and I didn't!) Have you did your written examination?

No news or notification from the embassy site yet. Have been checking my mailbox every morning but still no updates. Probably will be out within these two weeks because they'll need to send the documents to Japan on August and those who got selected will need to receive a LOA from the Japanese university to be submitted to the consulate, which will take around 1-2 weeks of process so we can expect it announce the result soon. Panicccccczzzz~~~~~~

I still remember that one of the examiner said the chance to get this scholarship is 99% if we got our notification before august. Maybe this hints that the result will be out soon in these two weeks of time (probably next week)? HeHe.....good luck everyone.

Great! Though I have a feeling results will only be out after Raya. Let's all wait and hope for the best!

Seems like every country has a different deadline, I got the results after 1 week, it was in July 7th.
