Hey Efrat, loving the informative videos! They’re incredibly interesting and helpful ❤️ I’d like to elaborate about some of the subjects discussed for undergrads, Japanese knowledge, and regarding studying manga: 1. For an undergraduate degree, there is an age limit of 24 by the time you start studying to be eligible. Sadly all the universities and colleges I checked personally do not accept MEXT scholarships for art undergraduates, but only for masters’ and PhD’s. 2. All art degrees in Japan require a JLPT N2 level, and since all the material is taught in Japanese, it is highly recommended to be at a near native level to actually understand the classes and to not run into problems. 3. There’s a manga and animation department in Osaka’s college of the Arts (not the Osaka University which has only a master’s degree available, the specific one for arts in Higashiyama). Thank you for your hard work, have a great weekend 🙏
Thank you so much for joining in on giving more accurate info!! I appreciate it a lot. Many of us foreigners who studied at Geidai and graduated are below the N2 level, especially reading-wise. But there are ways to get along, depending on the department you are in. For studying Manga and Animation, however, language abilities are indeed required because there is a lot of writing and storytelling going on there.
@@EfratArielle Oh wow, most people online really emphasize that it’s near impossible to learn art in Japan because of the language barrier, so I’m glad to hear that it’s possible to get around that.
I'm sorry, I don't know. I recommend researching different design programs online and comparing them with your needs. They probably all require some Japanese language skills.
Sometimes it depends on universities or departments, but I generally think your background doesn’t matter. It’s more important to try and go for your dreams than to hold back.
