Mission

The University of Tokyo aims to be a world-class platform for research and education, contributing to human knowledge in

partnership with other leading global universities.

The University of Tokyo aims to nurture global leaders with a strong sense of public responsibility and a pioneering spirit,

possessing both deep specialism and broad knowledge.

The University of Tokyo aims to expand the boundaries of human knowledge in partnership with society.

The University of Tokyo and TodaiIn English we are known as the University of Tokyo and in Japanese as Tokyo Daigaku (東京大学), which literally translated

is “Tokyo University.” In Japanese, however, compound words are often abbreviated to just the first character of each

component. Abbreviating Tokyo Daigaku leaves Todai (東大), which is how most people refer to us in Japan.

In 2013, the University of Tokyo announced that the abbreviated English name of the University would be UTokyo.

Academic and administrative staff

The University of Tokyo is a major employer with 10,526 staff

members. Our academic staff numbers 5,914. The University

lists positions as permanent or fixed-term, which applies to

the post, not the person. About two-thirds of academic staff

members (from research assistant to professor in the table)

are in permanent posts and have tenure; the remainder

are on fixed-term contracts. Most other staff members in

permanent posts are on permanent contracts.

Foreign academic and administrative staff

An increasing number of our staff members come from

overseas. Currently, 9% of our faculty are foreign. In

addition, many researchers visit us for short periods,

creat ing an in ternat iona l env i ronment in which our

international staff can feel at home. The figures above

include staff members in both permanent and f ixed-

term positions. The University is also exploring the joint

appointment of faculty with overseas institutions in order to

increase the number of foreign faculty members.

divided into junior and senior divisions, each being two

years in length. In the former, students study a liberal arts-

based curriculum in one of three Humanities and Social

Sciences divisions, or one of three Natural Sciences

divisions. In the latter, students go on to specialized study

in their chosen Faculty.

Education

Education

Degree programs offered in English

A growing number of graduate-level courses and degree

programs are offered in English. Options in English for

undergraduate students include the four-year degree

program PEAK (Programs in English at Komaba) and the

third-year transfer program GSC (Global Science Course).

For more information on English programs at UTokyo,

Undergraduate education

Undergraduate education at the University of Tokyo is

A competitive environment

Domestic students applying to the University of Tokyo take the

common national university entrance examination, following

which exceptional candidates can choose to take the University's

demanding entrance examination. The number permitted to take

this exam is limited so there can never be more than between

2.5 and five applicants for each position. The dates for graduate

admissions vary widely. Please check the website of each

Faculty or Graduate School for further information (page 28).

On average, about one in four applicants to undergraduate

programs is successful, and 47% to MA programs. Three-

quarters of applicants to PhD programs are successful, but

this includes many students who enroll in combined MA/PhD

programs. Roughly one in two external applicants to PhD

programs is successful.

20 21Education

Admissions

Students can study at the University of Tokyo as either

regular students (degree candidates) or research students.

Admission is in Apr i l and September. To be el ig ib le

for admission to an undergraduate program, students

should have completed twelve years of formal education

equivalent to that in Japan, or have been awarded an

International Baccalaureate by the International Bureau

of Baccalaureates. (See the PEAK website for entrance

requirements for that program.) To be eligible for an MA

or PhD program, students should have at the t ime of

admission a bachelor's or Master's degree or a level of

education equivalent to that of a Japanese university.

Eligibility for admission to a combined MA and PhD program

is the same as that for an MA program. Students may also

be admitted if the University recognizes that they have

suitable academic background and experience to undertake

their studies. Admission is granted to most programs after a

written examination, but there are a few graduate programs

that accept students on the basis of past academic

attainments, letters of reference and essays. Please contact

the relevant Faculty or Graduate School for more details (see

page 28).

International exchange

Study abroad

University of Tokyo students benefit from a wide range of

academic exchange agreements with other universities. In

2014, 361 students visited our partner universities. Most of

these were graduate students (73%). The University hopes

to increase the number of undergraduates that make use

of exchange opportunities.

International students

In May 2015, 3,062 international students were enrolled

in programs at the University of Tokyo, 536 (18%) as

research students and 2,526 (82%) as full-time students.

Approximately 11% of internat ional students studied

at the undergraduate level, while around 89% studied

at the graduate level. The University is increasing the

number of programs avai lable in Engl ish at both the

undergraduate and graduate levels, so we expect to see

an increase in the number of undergraduate international

students in coming years. Additionally, many students

join us for short periods during their studies at their home

universities.

Campus life

Scholarships

Our domestic and international students are supported

through the University's own scholarships and tuition fee

waivers, and through scholarships from the Japanese

government , compan ies and foundat ions . A la rge

proportion of our international students are funded through

such programs. One of the best places to start looking

for information about scholarships is on our website. The

Japan Student Services Organization (JASSO) website also

provides details about scholarships and studying in Japan.

Applicants are encouraged to apply for the Japanese

Government (MEXT) scholarships, more information about

which can be obtained from the Japanese consulate in

your home country.

www.u-tokyo.ac.jp/url/aad, www.jasso.go.jp/index_e.html

Student life

At the University of Tokyo we value our links with society,

and students organize two public festivals that provide

visitors with a glimpse of university life. In addition, the

University holds an annual open campus event which

introduces university life to several thousand high school

students from all over Japan each year. Increasingly,

prospective international students also attend this event.

Students also engage in a variety of sports and cultural

activities through student clubs.

Support for students and researchers

As the preeminent academic institution in Japan, the University

of Tokyo has a long history of nurturing and promoting academic

excellence. The International Center has offices on each of

our main campuses and provides support for international

students and researchers coming to study at the University and

for our students studying at our partner institutions around the

world. The International Center also offers advice on academic

and personal matters, as well as mental health counseling

for individual and family problems. The Center for Japanese

Language Education provides Japanese language education for

international students and researchers. The University Career

Center arranges job fairs and provides information for students

nearing the end of their studies.

www.u-tokyo.ac.jp/url/aac

Accommodations

Accommodations for students and researchers at the University

of Tokyo are managed by the Housing Office. While University

accommodation reserved for international students can house only a

small portion of those who join us each year, the accommodations

avai lable are increasing and students also have access to

student accommodation managed by other organizations, rooms

in company dormitories and private accommodation. Further

information is available on the University website.

www.u-tokyo.ac.jp/url/aab

The university environment lets you focus on your research and studies so that you can perform at your best, but you

are also a member of a community that provides effective support when the occasion demands.

are foreign. The largest portion of foreign books are in

English, but there are also significant collections in other

major languages. There are also over 160,000 journals,

nearly half of which are in foreign languages. The Library

actively purchases materials as required for research and

education. An increasing quantity of material is digitized in

the University Repository.

University Museum

The University Museum is the largest of its kind in Japan,

with a collection of over three million items. The Museum

holds materials to support research and education at

the University of Tokyo gathered since the University's

Research facilities

Excellent facilities support research and education at the

University of Tokyo, including a superb library system,

the University Museum and two major hospitals, which

are also open to the public and are a point of contact

with the local community. Cutting-edge facilities including

supercomputing resources support University members'

research.

University Library System

While the General Library on the Hongo Campus contains

a large collection of books, journals and other materials

in Japanese, English and other languages, the majority

of specialized materials are held in the 32 departmental

libraries that comprise the University Library System. The

Standing on the strong foundations built up by their predecessors, our researchers are consistently at the cutting edge

across the full spectrum of academic endeavor.

University Hospitals

The University of Tokyo has two major hospitals, both of

which were instrumental in the introduction of western

medicine into Japan. The Faculty of Medicine University

Hospital grew out of the Kanda Otamagaike Vaccination

Center founded in 1858, and strives to provide the best

possible individual care. The smaller Institute of Medical

Science Research Hospital was established in 1894 and

specializes in translational research, aiming to bridge the

gap between basic research and the bedside.

Industry and government cooperation and outreach

The University of Tokyo is committed to ensuring the

transfer of our research outcomes to society, and industry

cooperation is one of the most effective means of achieving

this. Nearly 200 Japanese and foreign companies partner

with us and fund almost 100 research projects, a mainstay

of our research and one that provides a significant portion

of research income. To support effective research and

positive outcomes, collaborative research is first evaluated

through the Proprius21 process, which ensures common

understanding of research goals, establishes metrics

and milestones for measuring progress, and determines

ownership of results and intellectual property. In addition,

the best of the University's research is promoted on the

UTokyo Research website.
