Expert Answers
What is the process for doing a master's in Japan, including the MEXT scholarship, and getting an AI or robotics job afterward?
→The MEXT scholarship funds full tuition, flights, and a stipend of about 144,000 yen monthly, roughly Rs 84,000, through embassy or university recommendation. After a research student period and entrance exam, job hunting for AI or robotics roles peaks around March to June of your first year.
How can I get a scholarship and prepare a strong portfolio for a master's in design in Japan?
→Apply for the MEXT scholarship through your embassy or a university's autumn cycle up to a year ahead, since it covers full tuition, a stipend and airfare. Build your portfolio around research and iteration rather than final polish, showing four to six projects with sketches, failures and user research.
