School profile
The first national university established in Japan is also one of the earliest universities established in Asia. It is recognized as the highest institution of higher learning in Japan and a world-famous Asian university. Its predecessor was Tokyo Kaicheng School and Tokyo Medical College founded in Meiji period. If we go back further, it is the earliest evolution of the "Lan Xue" organization "Astronomical Party", the Changping Sakamoto Academy and the Inoculation Institute established during the shogunate period. At the beginning of the Meiji Restoration, the Japanese government announced the "New Academic System Order", which opened the door to learn from Europe and America. 1877, according to the instruction of the Ministry of Education, the two universities merged and were named the University of Tokyo. At that time, it had a certain scale, with more than 500 students and four departments of literature, law, science and medicine. Soon, the Tokyo Law School, which was also managed by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, was merged into the school, which was under the Ministry of Justice. 1886, in order to meet the needs of the country and cultivate people with nationalist ideas, the Meiji government promulgated the Imperial University Order. The University of Tokyo was renamed Imperial University and adopted the university system. The former engineering university under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Industry, the agricultural university formed by the merger of Tokyo Agriculture and Forestry School and Linshan School under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Agriculture have successively become the engineering university and agricultural university of Imperial University, and the previous departments have been changed to Hosei University and Medical University respectively. And began to set up graduate schools. Become a veritable university. 1887 after the "degree order" was made, doctors and doctoral degrees were added. In the meantime, Imperial University was successively named as a local name. In order to show the difference, the word "Tokyo" was added in front of the name of Imperial University, which further meant to make it a model of the university. At this time, the school system has also changed. In order to facilitate unified leadership, the university system was changed to the department system, and business was added to the law department. 10 years later, the department was expanded and upgraded to the Department of Economics. In the decades before the war, Imperial University of Tokyo made great progress in all aspects and trained tens of thousands of graduates, including many national leaders.
After World War II, a set of practices of militaristic education was eliminated, institutions and unreasonable systems were adjusted, the word "imperial" in "Imperial University of Tokyo" was deleted, and the name of the earliest University of Tokyo was restored. After the reorganization, the University of Tokyo established a new basic department and a new Ministry of Education, and merged the affiliated medical professional department, No.1 High School and Tokyo High School. The original department has also divided into new departments, and a large number of research institutes and research centers have been established. Today, the University of Tokyo has become a university with 10 undergraduate departments, 1 1 graduate schools and 18. 1986, when some presidents and administrators of Asian universities voted for 10 world-famous universities, the University of Tokyo was selected as the only representative in Asia, which was the glory of the University of Tokyo and fully affirmed its academic level.

School evaluation
The University of Tokyo is the leading national university in Japan, and its finance is mainly supported by the government. 1979- 1980, the government allocated 80 billion yen to Neusoft, and it will increase year by year, with an annual budget exceeding/kloc-0.000 billion yen. 199 1 year, the school's own income is 35.2.1300 million yen, and the income of affiliated hospitals accounts for 46.4%. Tuition fee is 23.6%; Discount and sale of school property, income from farms and forest farms, and income from external investigations and experiments account for 30%. In addition, research funds of 7.725 billion yen were obtained by applying for scientific research projects. The total expenditure is11220.3 billion yen, and the expenses are as follows: University affiliated hospitals account for 20.4%; The running cost of the whole school is 49.5%; Institute16.1%; 7.5% for scientific research and 6.5% for equipment.
According to the School Education Law, the university establishes a Council as the highest authority of the school. The members of the board of directors are the general director, ministers of various disciplines, heads of directly affiliated departments (such as librarians, research directors, research center directors, dean of graduate schools) and two professors from each department. The procurator-general is the procurator-general and the legal representative, and the duties of the procurator-general and the principal are integrated. The duty of the Council is to consider, coordinate and decide on major issues of the school and supervise the work of the general manager. After the administrative work is examined and approved by the Legislative Council, it is handed over to the Chief Executive for implementation through the administrative department. The current chief executive is Dongda 3 1 Sir Ma Qiuteng. Each department has a professors' meeting, which is composed of all professors, and some faculty representatives are invited to participate, and the department heads are elected to decide some major issues in the department. The administrative management system of the school is: chief 1, without deputy. Through two special assistants in the general office, coordinate with the bureau of affairs, student affairs office, library, departments, research institutes and research centers. Bureau is the administrative center department of the whole school, which consists of planning department, affairs department, management department and equipment department. The government (in fact, the Ministry of Education) nominally does not interfere with the specific affairs of the school and lets the school run its own school. Due to the special status of Dongda University, in fact, the government will often send staff to the school department to strengthen the control of human rights and financial rights of the school to ensure the key leadership position of Dongda University.
Due to the complete disciplines, sufficient funds, neat teaching staff and high level of running some traditional disciplines, the teaching and research strength and level of the University of Tokyo are incomparable to other universities in Japan. In order to meet the challenge of the new technological revolution, the state is organizing several national universities and relevant departments to conduct joint research on several key projects at present and in 2 1 century. In this "key battle", the University of Tokyo undoubtedly played the role of "leader".
Research on Energy Development The Japanese government invests as much as 8 billion yen every year to several universities such as Dongda University, Kyoto University and Kyushu to conduct basic research on nuclear fusion in order to develop new energy sources. The Department of Science, Institute of Atomic Energy and Department of Engineering of Neusoft University jointly carried out theoretical and engineering research on accelerator science, elementary particles and atomic energy, and achieved initial results.
Aerospace research led by the Institute of Cosmic Ray of Neusoft University has made great progress in recent years. The Japanese government allocates more than10 billion yen for equipment manufacturing and testing every year. So far, 65,438+04 satellites and multiple launch vehicles have been launched to observe the aurora, detect the magnetic fields of planets and the earth, and carry out experiments in astrophysics and unmanned space laboratories.
The study of earthquakes and volcanoes is in a leading position in the world. The government allocates 2 billion yen every year for this comprehensive study, and has set up a national earthquake change data processing center in Dongda University, and set up observation stations with advanced equipment and reliable prediction in earthquake and volcano-prone areas all over the country.
Ocean Research 1967 Dongda Institute of Oceanography was built on a large-scale ocean survey ship, which carried out ocean survey and comprehensive ocean research, and then built a more advanced ship. In recent years, it has cooperated with American consortia to carry out deep-sea drilling, major marine crust composition, seabed ecology, seabed resources development and other fields. The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology allocated funds to organize staff from universities such as Dongda University to participate in comprehensive scientific investigations in Antarctica for many times.
Cancer research as early as 1983, the Japanese government put forward the "Ten-year Plan for Cancer Research", in which universities such as Dongda University, Tohoku University and Osaka participated, and cooperated with relevant research institutions in the United States to focus on the causes, diagnosis methods and treatment methods of cancer. The research also involves biochemistry, genetics, nuclear physics and other disciplines, and the medical research of Dongda University is the backbone of this research.
Social science research is divided into theoretical research and comparative research (undertaken by the Institute of Social Sciences and the Institute of Oriental Culture). In addition, it focuses on the study of China. There are 9 departments of 12 in Oriental Culture Institute that study China, and there are also many departments and majors related to China from ancient times to People's Republic of China (PRC) (PRC).
