I'm foreign student and currently looking for getting Master's degree in Japanese University at Pharmeceutical Science. All Graduate Schools in this field are tought in Japanese (at least ones I found), so I started to look for Japanese language schools, which provide preparation courses for Graduate schools.
All the programs I found were held somewhere between June and April, but entrance exams in Japanese universities are usually held in July-August, as well as most procedures of application (like founding professor, submission of thesis and ect.) should already has been passed or should be passed in the beginning of the preparation course. So, I don't understand the concept of these courses, because they seem to help you to find the professor/pass exams/write research plan, but they are held right in the time of documents submission and ends almost at the beginning of the semester.
Did I somehow misunderstood how these courses work? Please, if you have experienced preparation courses for Graduate schools, write how about it went and was it worth it.
