Do MEXT students usually enter as research students before starting Master’s?
hii im undergraduate student from India
I’m confused about the MEXT research student/master’s pathway. If someone applies for MEXT as a research student and wants to do a Master’s in Japan, do they first spend some time as a non-regular research student in a lab and then later enter the Master’s course after an exam/interview?Or can students directly enter the Master’s program from the beginning?I’d especially like to know how common each route is and what usually happens for biology/medical laboratory science students.
