first I would like to say taht the more Rocket Japanese course is great. I am learning allot of new words everytime I listen to it. I never have enough time in a day to compelte a lesson a day but I am slowly getting there. After finishing the original rocket japanese audio course, I got a private japanese tutor and she was shocked and amazed that I have only been studying nihhon go for 4 months. So she has been teaching me japanese privately one on and we found out that my grammer is a big problem which I am fixing. All is going well with my teacher but she is leaving to japan on tuesday which is very sad. So I thought of something just recently. I am studying Civil Engineering at University in London. When I get my degree, is it possible to go to Japan and do my Msc or Phd there? I will finish my degree in 3 years and I hope to move out of this boring country and study in Japan. I have not been able to find much information regarding this on the internet. I think the universities in Japan might want me to take a "Japanese language proficiency test" which is no problem at all. I would like to find a university that does Msc or Phd civil engineering in Tokyo or Kyoto. Maybe there is a qualification in Japan universities that is equivalent to Phd or Msc. thank you
