Well, I am currently studying engineering in South Africa and would like to finish my studies in Japan. Think its possible?My nihongo is pathetic really, in Tokyo last year >_< I nearly went to the wrong-sex toilet. <sigh>

But I deeply appreciate the culture and people.Post grad in Engineering with no nihongo? any tips?

Arigatou gozaimasu ^^
Classes at most universities will be in Japanese, and for graduate studies in Engineering, expect advanced and very specialized Japanese. It is perhaps theoretically possible that some fancy, expensive private school for English speakers may exist somewhere in Tokyo, but even if it does, will they have enough students to fill post-grad classes in Engineering? Highly unlikely, IMO. And if by some miracle it does exist, it will likely be very, very expensive.

Finish your degree in an English-speaking country, then go to Japan afterwards.
