Hi everyone! I’m interested in moving to Japan after I finish my PhD next year. I have visited twice in the last year and have been learning the language for two. I wondered if anyone has experience with holding PhDs in non engineering / science fields and obtaining work. I’m doing my N5 exam in the summer but know I would ideally need N2 to work for a company. Through the course I’m doing at a London university I’d realistically be N4 end of this year if I continue at that pace – though it is another level of intense especially with the PhD! I know lecturing is an option and is a path I’m considering but I presume being non Japanese it would be hard to work at a media company unless international. Or are there any other opportunities? Would be interested in knowing other peoples experiences! Thanks 🙂
