Japan's graphic design, animation design, industrial design, photography and other professions are world famous. Japan has a unique and mysterious national culture, solemn temples, romantic cherry blossoms.

Today, natural light will make a detailed "calculation" for you, Analyze and summarize the "ways to save money" of studying in Japan from three perspectives: tuition, living expenses and tips!

Tuition for studying in Japanese art
Among the fees for art study abroad, tuition is the largest proportion. Compared with the high cost in Europe and the United States, the tuition fees in Japan are divided by schools, and the tuition fees in public schools are basically the same, but in addition, each school also requires students to pay additional fees, including entrance fees, insurance and so on.
1、 Public schools
Tokyo University of the Arts
As the only national art university in Tokyo Metropolitan, it is merged from the "Tokyo Art School" and the "Tokyo Music School", with a strong artistic atmosphere. Most of the famous Japanese artists are from this university, which can be said to be the cradle of the Japanese art world.

The private art universities in Japan are different from the national public universities. The tuition fees of each school are different, but The average first year plus the annual enrollment fee is about 1.8 million yen, equivalent to about 110000 yuan.
Musashino University of Fine Arts
It is a private university of fine arts and plastic arts education located in Tokyo. There are 11 disciplines including art and design, and it is the art specialized higher education institution with the largest classification of disciplines and the largest education scale in Japan.

Musashino University of Fine Arts
The tuition fees of two well-known public schools and private schools are listed respectively, which is equivalent to RMB In fact, it is almost the same as the graduate students studying in an art college in China In fact, this is a very friendly choice for foreign students with less affluent families, and Corresponding fee exemption policy and scholarship As long as you are good enough, the college will "do everything" to keep you.
After reading the cost of studying at school, how different is the living cost of studying abroad in Japan from that in China?
If you study in Tokyo, the living expenses for one year are basically enough (about 100000 yuan); If you are studying in other cities, there is little problem with the cost of living (about 80000 yuan).
Living expenses for studying abroad in Japanese arts
In addition to tuition, the cost in Japan is the cost of daily living. The consumption principle of studying abroad is: don't waste money or treat yourself unfairly. So where does 100000 gold a year go?
1. Accommodation fee
Studying in Japan is different from studying in China. You don't have dormitories when you get an offer. If the school cannot provide student dormitories, it needs to rent houses outside. So remember, International students must apply for the dormitory or international student hall in advance. The cost is not high, but the number is limited. First come, first served Don't worry if you don't apply, go to the school "Life Association" refers to the collaborative combination of life, and they will be obligated to provide housing resources and guarantees for everyone To help students solve life problems.
2. Transportation expenses
I believe that all students who have traveled in Japan know that, The bus fare in Japan will double that in China, so please pay attention to public transportation. In Japan, people who take taxis are rich retired people, because they are too expensive! However, Japan has extremely developed subway lines, so students who rent houses can consider staying near the school. Although it is more expensive, the transportation cost saved in one year is enough for you to go shopping in Lotte Ginza!
Metro: 160 yen within 6 kilometers, followed by 190, 230, 270 and 300 yen per kilometer.
Shinkansen: It depends on the route. For example, Tokyo Osaka is 13750 yen.
Bus: 200-230 yen.
3. Meals
Man is iron, rice is steel. The heavy schoolwork has been squeezed, so saving money on meals is not the right decision. The most expensive food in Japan should be fruits and vegetables, not to mention eating out, so I suggest you do your own thing and eat plenty. Generally, it costs 2000 to 3000 RMB per month to cook by yourself This is the normal level. If you save some points, it can be even less.
4. Medical insurance
Many people who don't know much about Japanese medicine think that Japanese medicine is so easy to use, so they don't need to buy medical insurance. This is totally wrong. When a person is in a foreign country, no one can guarantee that his body will not light red.
And as long as People who stay in Japan for more than one year need to buy national health insurance When the enrollee goes to the hospital or clinic due to illness or injury 30% of the total medical expenses can be paid, and the remaining 70% is covered by insurance.

By comparison, studying abroad in Japan can be said to be a blessing for working families. Did the students who hesitated because of the cost of studying abroad after reading the above analysis confirm their choice of studying abroad. The natural light also summarizes some "Save money tips" , hurry to collect!
How to save money when studying Japanese art
Scholarship application
We have shared British and American scholarship applications before, In fact, Japanese universities have more generous scholarship system and tuition fee reduction system In general, public universities in China have 50% or 100% tuition reduction. The percentage of tuition reduction in private universities varies from school to school. Many students will get generous scholarships when their tuition fees are reduced, which will truly realize "knowledge for wealth" in Japan!
Different from the British and American countries that apply for the scholarship together with the submitted portfolio, Japanese universities can apply for the scholarship according to their own actual conditions when they enroll.
Scholarships generally include Japanese government scholarships, autonomous scholarships such as prefectures and prefectures, civil society scholarships and university specific scholarships. The application amount varies and is distributed monthly.

Work in spare time
First of all, the schoolwork in Japan is very tight, so making money and working for a job must not delay learning. We must distinguish the primary and secondary. We came to Japan to study, not to work for a job.
The Japanese government stipulates that the hourly wage of foreign students should not be less than 800 yen. The hourly salary in Tokyo will even reach about 1000-1200 yen. However, the hard work is also corresponding. The service industry in Japan should participate in the corresponding training before entry.
More than half of Japan's self funded overseas students work in their spare time, with the largest number working in the catering industry, followed by purchasing agents and language education.
Employment advantages
Most students who choose to study in the arts hope to obtain several years of internship or employment experience in the country where they study after graduation. Compared with the "harsh policies" of European and American countries, Japan is more tolerant of outstanding overseas students to work in Japan. In fact, Japan is an aging country, so they are more eager for young people with ideals and abilities to work in Japan.
Students who choose to return to China for employment also have an advantage, that is, they have mastered a small language. Although studying in Japan also requires English scores, studying in Japan also requires people to be proficient in Japanese, and Japan's art industry is also very developed. Rich internship experience and employment experience will give you a great advantage in returning home for employment.
Summary of today
In fact, each country has its own advantages and disadvantages. The biggest advantage of studying abroad in Japan for Chinese students lies in its high cost performance, rich teaching resources and superior geographical location.
Japan values students' art skills, which has great advantages for domestic students who have participated in the art examination. Japanese graduate students are "masters and apprentices", so before applying, you should fully understand the focus and direction of your chosen tutor.
Natural Light Art has assembled a team of 100+Chinese and Japanese famous teachers to comprehensively upgrade the five core teaching systems and help 1000+design students who choose the direction of Japan to apply for top universities every year!
