Day in my life as a PhD student in Japan (remote) 

AHHHH SO HAPPY TO HAVE FOUND YOUR CHANNEL and am so excited to follow along on your grad school journey! I was in Japan for 10 weeks in my second year of my PhD and HAD A BLAST. This brings back so many fond memories 😭

It’s cool man. You are one of the lucky people that have an opportunity to pursue a Ph.D. at the University of Tokyo. Keep it up, dude. Ganbarimashou 👍👍👍

Greetings from Germany. First time donator, long time watcher. Save the animals

Loved this video. I went to Tokyo-Yokohama in 2018 for a conference and feel in love! Now, I'm just procrastinating the last part of research paper I need to submit to conclude my PhD. Great video. Enjoy your PhD!

Fascinating stuff :) Saw your comment on tibees video about going to the University of Tokyo

Love looking into the phd programs in japan! Would be looking forward to tips and advices to do a phd in japan!

Was supposed to go last year in September to Tokyo for studying, was moved to this sept but obviously didn't happen. Hope you enjoy your time!

Hi Dominik, very nice inside view of a day in your life. Hope c-numbers go down that I can visit you again. All the best and regards, Steffen.

That's a cool video man🇯🇵! and Im rlly inspired because Im currently a Master's student in Australia. Thx! 日本食うまそ！食べたい笑！🤤

You are an inspiration. I am on hot and cold in applying any PhD program in Japan as my Japanese language proficiency has been fading away. I have no confidence.

Wow, my dream is to visit Japan, that’s so cool you are doing a PhD there!

こんにちは　ドミニク。Hope I got your spelling right,it’s been a hot minute since I spoke in japanese. Anyhow,it’s nice to watch your progress on your PhD. I’m getting through mine right now. It’s nice to know that I’m not alone. ガンバって to you!

Hey Domi, echt cooles Video und es freut mich von dir zu hören und zu sehen. Schön, dass es dir gut geht, auch wenn dein Tag ziemlich gut gefüllt ist ;) Grüße, auf dass wir uns bald wiedersehen und weiterhin viel Erfolg

I am Japanese !!! I’m so respect you! Because Tokyo University is famous to even enter the University…..

looking forward to see more content. cheers !

Cool vid! I'm currently also in my second years doing PhD. Kinda feeling lost and a lil bit unmotivated today so I tried to find out what other PhD students do out there. Good luck on the internship!

University of tokyo is really cool. Love your video.

Great video. I just subscribed your Channel . Keep it up

What a lovely content, just subcribed. :)

賢いですね！勉強頑張ってくださいね👍🎌

Ah ok.. That's how you know how to code.. It's needed for your PhD.. I was wondering how you were able to do internships while doing your PhD. Is it within the program or did you organize your schedule to allow internships and your university authorized it? Great vids :)

I'm also a PhD student of Kyoto Univ., and my major is similar to yours. But I can't concentrate on studying in my small one room house whose space is only 6.5 tatami!

Great content, keep it up! :)

Very fortunate in this time that you are able to do a PhD in Japan! Also a very interesting one. Can you share also more about your Master's? Like how is it different from Germany and Japan. I am looking for opinions and content on how is it pursuing a PhD in Japan, I think I can have an opportunity to do so.

I still don't understand how streets are clean like that

また動画をアップロードしてください！待っています！

hey, I was looking into UTokyo and was wondering how hard would you say it was to get accepted to the uni, how hard the transition to japan was, would you recommend doing undergraduate studies there and what would you recommend doing to improve your chances of getting into the uni

Hey, I'm considering a University of Tokyo PhD in Plasma Physics, do you know how the physics department is? Is it good for foreigners with just a little japanese? Is the work load akin to the work culture of everyday japanese workers s or is it more like research and time to digest it?

Hey :) I am doing an Robotics double degree between Nantes and KEIO university in Tokyo. I am considering doing a PhD in this field as well. Can you say anything about the salary you get as a PhD student?

The Takoyaki looks great 😊

What kind of ML do you specifically use in Mechanical Engineering? Do you use cloud computing service like Colab, Azure or Watson?

Hi, Dominik, What programming language do you use for Machine Learning algorithms? Great videos and best wishes in your Ph.D.!

2 and half years from now, Im gonna graduate with a bachelor degree, this is my goal if I graduated with a first class degree (3.7) . Im gonna come back here if I am able to make it, now my cgpa is 3.65

Hey, great content there! Do you have any learning sources for Phd entry exam in University of Tokyo?

Hey there! I thoroughly enjoyed your video. I've been dedicatedly studying Japanese for the past year and will be moving to Japan this September. I couldn't be more excited! If you have any valuable tips to share from your experience as a RU-vidr or learning Japanese, I would be thrilled to hear them. My goal is to expand my channel and create a helpful resource for teaching English and reaching a wider audience. Keep up the fantastic work!

Hi man how are you, i also wanted to enter to that university. Can you make a videoguide, i would be happy. I strongly want to study in Japan automotive engineering.

Hi!! That's a really interesting videos! What uni did you get your masters at? Did you apply directly to UoT or is it some kind of programme? :)

Japan ❤

One thing I'm very curious about, is the Japanese teacher who you're speaking with, you found her in iTalki? I would like to connect with her to practice my conversational skills.

Did you have publications before you got into your phd program ?

wow that's pretty cool

In order to do a phd in Japan a master degree of 1 and half year is enough with out thesis or not?

Hey love your video! Do you live on your own or is that a student dorm? Is MEXT covering the cost for it fully? thanks in advance :)

I have something to ask. I really want to go to Japan for my Master's degree in computer science. But I came across many reddit posts saying it was not worth pursuing a cs degree there. I really want to study in japan because of its cultural aspects but still don't want to take my education lightly. Can you put some light on this?

Hey hi bro , I really liked your video. Can you please make a video , how was your application procedure, admission requirements etc ? I have done my Bsc in mathematics from India and currently doing my Masters in Mathematics from University of Münster, Germany. Thank you once again 🎉❤

Can you make a guide on becoming a phd student in japan as a foreigner...?

반성하고 갑니다 ㅋㅋㅋㅋ ㅠㅠ

I started looking at my phone as I also have same alarm and I am also about to finish my PhD in Mechanical engineering. Are you on researchgate, I would love to read your papers.

Can you please help little here, I want to apply for phD in psychology in Japan. Where should I start from ?

Uhm... I want to ask - How did you apply to the university? I mean, as a foreigner, you must have had language barrier issues? Why and how did they select you?

Hey, I have few questions: 1) How much do you get as wages while doing phD? 2) I will be applying for ones in Physics, does it usually takes longer than 3 years ? 3) Comparing your wages and expenses, are you able to save? If yes, how much? on average?

Hi Dominik, thanks for sharing your routine. Did you apply under IME ( International Multidisciplinary Engineering) program?

In which language they taught in university?

Hey do you have a Master degree from Japan as well? Or did you do it in your home country? Germany or Austria I guess ;) Did you make any experience in writing scientific papers before you started your phd studies in japan?

Wait did i hear 30min break only?! For lunch?!

Can you tell me how much the current course fees are for masters degrees?for one year

Hi sir, nice to see your videos. They're really helpful. I wanna pursue master's degree in Artificial Intelligence in healthcare from Japan (University of Tokyo). Please be kind to share the process to get admission and which department exactly , I should choose for my interested course i.e., Artificial Intelligence in healthcare (AI in radiological diagnosis). Thanks, I'd appreciate any kind of help🙏🏻

Do you get enough paid for your PhD to live a normal life there or you've got some kind of financial support from your family? Thanks in advance.

if you have a foreign master degree , do you recommand to choose a phd or master program in university of tokyo? .thanks

Please make a video on how to apply.

How can I find psychology learning group?

Bro. Do you need to pay any tuition fees for your PHD? Love your videos BTW.

Ich lebe schon seit 17 Jahren in Spanien und studiere Japanisch als Hobby, immer voll interessant zu sehen wie ANDERS alles in einem fremden Land ist. Klasse!!! ありがとうございます。Ganz liebe Grüße! (〜￣▽￣)〜

Is it hard should i apply or no because I’ll suffer

Hi did they give certificate after completing master?

What games do you play on switch?

Looks like you're having fun! Isn't Japanese work life overly formal and oppressive all the time though? I feel like you have to apologize every five minutes, and then apologize later for apologizing incorrectly. Japanese people really need to lighten up

Can you give some defination about keigo .

Sorry für die Frage aber bist du irgendwie mit Mr. Nippon verwand? Ihr seht euch suuuuper ähnlich 🙈

Are you German ?

Grüße aus DA!

How old are you ? Are you married ?

Is that ur girlfriend

Phd !?

Damn he's cute 🤤

I am a PhD student in computer science. I've only had problems, I'm already tired of this shit. Nothing, absolutely nothing works for me. My main advisor is in another country because he left academia and now works in the industry, all meetings are by zoom. I've been there for two and a half years and I have nothing to publish, in one year I have like 100 nightmares. I work in an empty lab, it's always been that way since it started. I can't talk to my parents or siblings about this, they don't even know what a PhD is, my parents only have elementary education, they always had problems and got divorced, my close family doesn't understand what a PhD is either, for them, the Success is measured in the amount of land, houses and cars that a person accumulates. I have not made friends in graduate school because I worked in empty laboratories. All this has caused me to have terrible self-esteem, I have distanced myself from my family because I am in a bad mood and I don't want to be rude to them. I no longer enjoy anything, I don't care about everything, I no longer practice my hobbies because of the sadness of not getting results. I feel incompetent, I feel like human garbage. I am extremely discouraged, it seems that the PhD has awakened the worst version of me. Sometimes, I would like to quit and go to work at a physically demanding job, at least, at the end of my work day, I will surely have made a little progress: "today, as a waiter, I waited on 10 tables", "today, as a farm worker, I gathered corn from 4 grooves", "today, as a dishwasher, I washed 5 large containers of dirty dishes", "today, as a hand laborer, I carried 1000 bricks to the construction site", all this would be more satisfying than my doctorate, where I have months doing the same experiments and no progress at all. I no longer have feelings of joy or sadness, I no longer feel like I am a person, I am "something" that comes, sleeps and defecates, I have no desires or optimism in the future, I sleep poorly, sometimes I even feel dizzy and tingling in my body. head for sleeping so badly... if they kicked me out of the graduate program, I wouldn't care. My life is totally miserable.

Hey hi bro , I really liked your video. Can you please make a video , how was your application procedure, admission requirements etc ? I have done my Bsc in mathematics from India and currently doing my Masters in Mathematics from University of Münster, Germany. Thank you once again 🎉❤
