Okay i've finished my SPM and now i'm thinking of getting into a Japanese Language center for 1.5 years for an EJU certificate . Then i'll be going to Japan for 4 years for an Engineering Degree .

My question : Which field of engineering is well-recognized in japan ? I heard it is Mechanical , Aerospace or Electronic . What do u think?

Please say ur point of view here , as i'm really concern whether studying in japan is a good and wise choice . Thanks

So there is this called Robotics engineering eh ? Cool . Gonna consider this . Thanks alot my man

Yes u need proficiency in Japanese before u can go there . SO engineering is still the best choice afterall . THanks alot guys

Any other comment guys ? Feel free to say it out there !

Yes , IBT . U r going too ? Or r u in IBT now OR do u have any experience on IBT to share here?



Thanks for ur advice . Well , i wouldn't call that a waste of youth , energy and time to pursue my dream . Yes u could actually learn everything u want in Malaysia but the experience , u cant buy it with money nor u can learn it in Malaysia . If u study for STPM also , its more or less the same , 1.5 years .



Thanks for the advice, but i'm not actually interested in IT related field .



I have already prepared to take this challenge - Learning a new Language - once i had this dream set on my mind . And if u compare with other western countries , RM20k for 4 years is actually very cheap no? U wont spend less than 200k in US, UK or Australia .

THanks again for everyone's replies . That helped me alot . I really appreciate that . An extra thanks to wmac , u made me think thrice , and that gained me a better determination . BUt dont worry , ur knowledge is not wasted

Now thats a cool review. Thanks alot . Merry christmas to u and ur girlfriend too

Thank you . But i'm actually very worried bout the living expenses there . Living expenses in Japan is really really high and i wonder if i could survive there -.-

Luckily , i can read chinese. Thanks alot my friend . I appreciate it very much . Looks like its not really easy to survive there.

But just now the consultant in IBT called me up . And i asked him alot of question and all my questions are answered . According to him , U can get school fees exemption . If u get 100% school fees exemption , ur scholaarship will go to ur living expenses. If u dont get school fees exemption , u can work part time and everything can be covered . 1 week 28 hours only . So basically financial is not as hard as i think . But i'll of course need to work hard to get those .

After calculating the numbers given in the article above, i find that the living expenses are not as high as i thought . 12000 yen = RM 400 per month for food is not that expensive .

Thanks Magic-addict ! Will ganbatte of course

Magic addict, i'm going for the April intake . How bout u ? Remember to say Hi when u meet me there XD hahaha . Yes the jan intake is closed .

Mind explain more on this?

I have another question though. Anyone has any experience with working part time in Japan ? Or any knowledge regarding this ? I think i'll need to work part time to support my living expenses there. Please enlighten me, thanks

LOL . After reading both posts above really did enlighten me alot . THanks alot re-killer !

Looks like surviving in Japan isn't that hard afterall , i agree with this statement

Yes, its your dream . This is my dream.


Thanks alot . Send my regards to ur girlfriend

Cool . Yes i've talked to the consultant and i'll send in my form once i got my SPM results . More or less, i'll be in . Okay, i'll be full time though . Its nice to have a friend there together , we can teach each other XD haha .Are yours the 12 months course?

Alright for the gaijin thing , i'm not sure but i think i have 1.5 years to check out . I'll ask the ppl in IBT again . Thanks for ur information and hope to see u soon

I've asked the person there regarding this just now . They say u can get tuition fees waive if u get good results during the semester . I think u might want to ask them for further infomation .

Basically, u dont waste 2-3 years . U need only 1.5 years for the pre-u which include japanese language as well , and straight away go Japan for ur degree . HOpe u can get over ur problem soon
