What the title says. I am finishing an English Studies bachellor degree this year, but I would like to switch careers and do a CS master to get a programming job in japan. The question is, do they generally care a lot if your degree is unrelated? Is it a different story depending on each university? From what I have seen Tokyo Tech seems like a good bet, though I will apply to multiple universities of course, recommendations are welcome. My GPA isnt too high but also not terrible (7/10, so a 3.0/4). Also in the case its possible to get accepted to the university, would this career change make getting the MEXT scholarship harder?)
I do have some background with programming, Some vocational training I did many years ago and some unpaid scholarships in IT to them, I dont know if this would help at all with the acceptance or the scholarship, but mentioning it in case it does.
