Born in 1877, Dongda University is the first national university in Japan and one of the earliest western universities in Asia. The school was renamed Imperial University in 1886, Imperial University in Tokyo in 1897, and officially named Tokyo University in September 1947.
As the highest academic hall and the first imperial university in Japan, Dongda enjoys a high reputation in the world. The school emblem is one yellow and one green, with two ginkgo leaves.
Second, academic achievements.
The comprehensive strength of the University of Tokyo ranks first among Japanese universities, and its influence and popularity in Japan are unparalleled.
From 1877 to 20 14, Neusoft has trained 9 Nobel Prize winners, 6 Wolff Prize winners, 1 Fields Prize winners, 16 Japanese Prime Ministers and 2 1 Speaker of the National Assembly.
A large number of Japanese academic masters, industrial and commercial tycoons and political elites all come from the University of Tokyo. Among them are Japanese writers familiar to China readers:
Akutagawa Ryunosuke
Kawabata
Natsume Souseki
Third, the major in the department
At present, Dongda has 10 departments, 15 graduate schools,1/affiliated research institutes (including cutting-edge scientific and technological research centers), 13 university research centers, 3 affiliated libraries and 2 advanced research institutes.
1, department
An important feature of undergraduate education in Dongda University is that in the first two years, it focuses on basic curriculum education regardless of majors, laying a solid foundation for future professional study; The next two years will be devoted to professional curriculum education.
The departments of Dongda 10 are: Agriculture Department, Education Department, Economics Department, Engineering Department, Law Department, Literature Department, Medicine Department, Pharmacy Department and Science Department.
The representative color of the University of Tokyo is "light cyan". Within the University of Tokyo, each department also has its own representative color.
2. Institute
The University of Tokyo has 15 graduate schools, which provide students with unique learning and research opportunities.
15 graduate schools are: agronomy life science research, comprehensive cultural research, economics research, pedagogy research, engineering research, new field creative science research, humanities and social science research, information science research, interdisciplinary information college of information science, legal science research, mathematical science research, medical science research, pharmacy research, public policy college, science.
Fourth, the teaching concept.
1, professor of the university
The first characteristic of the academic philosophy of the University of Tokyo is "professor running the school".
There are almost no specialized administrative staff in various departments of the University of Tokyo. The managers of each department are teachers and professors of the department. I can't believe that teachers at Dongda University even do chores such as student status management and network maintenance themselves.
This management mode of Dongda University gives every teacher in each department a high degree of autonomy and can better serve teaching and scientific research.
One more thing, each department of Dongda University can decide the organizational structure of its own research room. For example, in the graduate school of liberal arts, teachers can adopt the model of "master with apprentice"; Teachers who study Internet culture can take the form of open forums. The atmosphere of each research room is unique.
2. Information ring
Dongda has fewer compulsory courses and more elective courses. Regardless of students' grades and majors, students can choose courses at will according to their own interests and needs. Because students have various professional angles and depths, they often collide with sparks of thinking. Therefore, every class discussion in Dongda University is wonderful.
This flat curriculum is another feature of Dongda Education: Informatics.
Compared with other universities in Japan, teachers in Tokyo University tend to have a broader vision. They are well aware of the actual needs of all walks of life, and they regard the realization of these needs as an important content of their own research, write them in papers and bring them into the classroom.
V. Campus landscape
The famous scenery of Tokyo University is its ginkgo tree, and even the school emblem is two ginkgo leaves.
In addition, as a prestigious school with a long history,
The landmark buildings of Tokyo University include An Tian Lecture Hall, Qimen and "Sanshi Langchi".
1, An Tian lecture hall
The official name of An Tian Lecture Hall is Tokyo University Lecture Hall, which was donated by Yoshijiro Yasuda, founder of An Tian Consortium, and designed by Nai Tian Ming San, an architect of Tokyo University, and his disciple kishida fumio.
The green space in front of the lecture hall in An Tian is particularly solemn.
2. Red Gate
Qimen was originally the imperial gate of Kaga, Japan. Because all the imperial gates are painted scarlet, they are commonly known as "Red Gate". Qimen of the University of Tokyo is the only surviving palace gate with a history of 100 years. Therefore, it was once listed as a national treasure by the Japanese government and is now designated as an important cultural property.
Qimen is one of the representative symbols of the University of Tokyo, which was later renamed as the University of Tokyo.
3. Sanshiro Pool
Formerly known as Yu Deyuan Xinzichi, it is similar to Chimen and belongs to Jiahe Fan. Yu Deyuan is the name of this garden. Because the pool is heart-shaped, it is called Yu Deyuan heart-shaped pool.
Yu Deyuan's Heart Pool was widely circulated by Japanese writer Natsume Sosuke's novel "Sanshiro", so it was renamed "Sanshiro Pool".
In addition to the above-mentioned scenic spots, there are actually a building block cafe designed by Mr. Kengo Kuma, the underground canteen of the Dongda Library, the An Tian Lecture Hall, and the sculpture of loyal dogs and eight men.
Sixth, campus life.
As the top school in Japan, Dongda University has a relaxed and open campus atmosphere.
If you want to visit the school, you only need to fill in an application, and you can get the qualification to enter and leave on the same day, and you can even enter and leave the library of Dongda University. So students often come to visit.
The students of Dongda University are not bookworms who study hard. They set up all kinds of strange societies. For example:
University of Tokyo werewolf institute
