I (23m) am considering a 1+ year stint in Japan as an international student studying Anthropology prior to making a permanent move (hopefully). Assuming I start learning the language in advance of moving to live/study, how feasible would it be to expect a placement as an International Student at a Japanese University for a masters/PhD in Anthropology, and how, if at all, would this help towards securing a permanent move to Japan?
I.e., is placement at a University considered relatively more competitive for Anthropology than other disciplines?
What is your experience being an international anthropology/humanities student in Japan and what university did you study with?
What is your experience working as an anthropologist in Japan as a foreigner?
How did you find being an international student in Japan with limited Japanese?
A little bit about me:
I am a native English speaker, I am fluent in one other language, and know just about 0 Japanese.
I currently work as a researcher and I have worked in Government Agencies for the last 4 Years.
Apologies if this comes across as rambling, or if I have missed off crucial information.
