Japan has one of the best education systems in the world. A country that committed to research and development, combined with a hunger to be the most forward-thinking and innovative country in the world has led Japanese institutions to produce 25 Nobel Prize winners, 22 of whom arrive from physics, chemistry or medicine. Japan has long prioritised education as a means of fostering economic growth and it has worked, making Japan one of the strongest nations both financially and educationally.
Japan has over 700 universities to choose from and 10 of them are ranked in the top 200 worldwide. That already shows their extraordinary academic dedication. Japan has the second highest number of Nobel Prize winners of all countries in the world. In a nutshell, the quality of teaching is very high and important to the Japanese.
A great perk of studying in Japan would also be that it is much cheaper than studying in America or Europe. The tuition fees are about half of what they would be somewhere else and the cost of living is not that high, especially when you stay slightly out of the city centers. Even Tokyo is quite affordable when compared to studying in the UK or elsewhere.
Have a great experience while making friends for life. Japanese students are very friendly towards international students and are proud of sharing their language and culture with you. Be sure to join the extracurricular activities to bond with the Japanese students and share the same interests outside of class.
