Do I need to be affiliated with a university?
Can I apply as an unemployed fresh grad for research student track (masters)? Or do I have to be affiliated with an institution? This is what it says in the embassy website but I don't understand. "Those who are currently belong to a university, research institution or a company employed, and are continuously studying the same field of what you wish to study in Japan.
Unemployed or freelancers cannot apply except a student of Bachelor, Master or Doctoral courses."
