Hi everyone,
I’m French and currently studying neuropsychology while considering my career options once I complete my master’s degree. I’m particularly drawn to Japan, and I’m wondering if it’s possible to work there as a neuropsychologist.
Given that Japan has an aging population, I assume there might be a demand for neuropsychologists, especially in areas like cognitive disorders related to aging (e.g., Alzheimer’s disease).
I tried searching this subreddit for information, but I couldn’t find anything specific enought about working in neuropsychology in Japan.
Here are my questions:
- Is it realistic for a foreign neuropsychologist to work in Japan?
- Would having a “decent” level of Japanese (not yet fluent but improving) be enough to start working?
For context, I speak French and English fluently. If anyone has any insights or experiences on this topic, I’d greatly appreciate your input. Thank you in advance for your help!
