What are the famous universities in Japan?

1. Waseda University

(1) Introduction

Waseda University is one of the famous private universities in Japan with a high level of education. Many famous people in Japan are from Waseda University. 1882, Tokyo College, the predecessor of Waseda University, was born with the declaration of "learning to be independent". Today, Waseda University, as the "leader of private education" in Japan, has gone through ups and downs for more than 100 years under the guidance of its founder, Mr. Shigeyoshi Otani, who once put forward the idea of "not yielding to the liberalism and opposition spirit of state power" in 100.

Waseda University has 9 departments (28 disciplines and 32 majors) that can award bachelor's degrees, and 1 1 graduate schools can award monks and doctors. In principle, these educational institutions teach in Japanese. The Asia-Pacific Research Center, a newly established graduate school from 65438 to 0998, can also complete their studies in English. At the same time, in order to cultivate all-round and high-quality Japanese education talents, another graduate school-Japanese language education research department will be established in April 20001year. Waseda University has 44,000 undergraduate students and 6,000 graduate students, accounting for more than 50,000. The number of international students is the largest among Japanese private universities, reaching more than 1, 100.

The International Department of Waseda University is responsible for receiving short-term international students in 1 year or 1 semester (autumn, winter and spring). International students from all over the world study Japanese, politics, economy, society, history, literature and art in Japan and Asian countries. In addition, Waseda University has established friendly inter-school exchange relations with about 260 famous universities in the world, and receives exchange students from these universities 150-200 people every year.

Waseda University has four campuses. It consists of West Waseda Campus (headquarters), Hushan Campus, Okubo Campus and Zong Ze Campus, and is located near Shinjuku in the northwest of Tokyo. Each campus not only has beautiful scenery and numerous buildings, but also has complete teaching and sports facilities. 1153 (data in 2000) International students from 56 countries and regions came here to study. Including many students from China. The composition of international students is different from that of Tokyo University, with self-funded international students as the main (65,438+0,070), most of whom are college students and few graduate students (5). Tuition is also more expensive than that of the University of Tokyo, and the majors vary greatly. Ordinary college students are 820,000 yen ~ 65,438+0,500,000 yen, and college students are 600,000 yen ~ 900,000 yen.

The University of Tokyo

The University of Tokyo is a comprehensive university with a high reputation in the world. The University of Tokyo was founded on 1877. College 10, graduate school 14, with 27,000 students and about 4,000 teachers. Among the students, there are graduate students 12000, including 5600 doctoral students. The main campus area of Tokyo is only one tenth of that of Tsinghua, and the new campus can only be located in Chiba Prefecture. Over the years, the University of Tokyo has always positioned its social responsibility as providing outstanding talents, that is, providing the best education for tomorrow's leaders. The University of Tokyo has indeed trained many leaders for the Japanese government, financial circles and academic circles. In recent years, the school has realized that in order to improve its international academic reputation, it must also produce world-class scientific research results and actively return the research results to society and industry. Therefore, the school's countermeasure is to start with the development of cutting-edge interdisciplinary subjects. The purpose of the new graduate school of frontier science is to promote the integration of disciplines. The interdisciplinary graduate school of information science is a combination of humanities and science and technology.

The undergraduate departments of Tokyo University include law, medicine, engineering, literature, science, agriculture, economics, teaching and medicine. The graduate school includes law and politics, medicine, engineering, humanities and sociology, science, agriculture, life science, economy, art and science, education, pharmacy, mathematical science, frontier science, and two interdisciplinary subjects related to information technology. As a teaching reform measure at the turn of the century, the school has vigorously strengthened the construction of graduate schools, reformed the teaching and research system, improved the two-year undergraduate teaching, and improved the teaching and research level of graduate students.

The University of Tokyo attaches great importance to international cooperation and exchanges. Since 1994, the University of Tokyo has cooperated with MIT and Zurich Institute of Technology to carry out the interdisciplinary research plan of global sustainable development. Neusoft Overseas Forum is held regularly in MIT, Silicon Valley and Stanford University. Dongda has 1.600 foreign visiting scholars and 2 1.000 international students, 90% of whom are graduate students.

The President of the University of Tokyo is elected by all teachers for a term of four years, and cannot be re-elected. The last president was Hasami Maoyan, and in August 2006, Takeshi Sasaki took over as the 27th president. Colleges and departments are autonomous institutions, and teachers' assembly is the highest authority. In 2000, the school funding was about $65.438+0.7 billion, of which 90% was allocated by the government.

At present, there are 2037 international students, including 758 from China (including Hongkong and Taiwan Province Province), accounting for 37.2% of the total number of international students, which has become the main group of international students.

A force to be reckoned with. With the implementation of the Japanese government's plan to absorb 654.38 million foreign students, I believe that the University of Tokyo will welcome foreign students to study in Dongda with greater enthusiasm. We also earnestly hope that more compatriots will join us and strengthen our strength. However, many compatriots who want to study at the University of Tokyo are struggling with how to apply. Therefore, this newspaper opened the column "Entering a Famous University", hoping to build a bridge of communication between the University of Tokyo and compatriots who are interested in entering the University of Tokyo, and regularly introduce the policies of famous Japanese universities such as the University of Tokyo on international students. First of all, this issue introduces the relevant information about the application of international students in Tokyo University.

Japanese Education in Japanese Private Universities

Japanese education in Japanese private universities, that is, foreign students' subjects (pre-university). The study period is 1 year. If there is no special reason, you can't repeat it. After the expiration of the study period, you can continue to go to college. If you have graduated from a domestic university, you can also choose to take up a job or go to a junior college (equivalent to a master's degree in China). It depends on personal circumstances.

Compared with Japanese schools, other subjects are different in many places, mainly in: 1 Other subjects are taught full-time, and the schedule is very tight. The start and holiday times are exactly the same as those of universities. However, in Japanese language schools, the study time is usually half a day, and at most two years are in the morning or afternoon. 2. Students in other subjects are international students and can enjoy the treatment of international students. The validity period of the visa is 1 year, and the admission time is April every year. Students' visas in Japanese language schools are for study, and the validity period of visas is 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, etc. According to the situation of the school, the admission time is in April and 10 every year. 3. The success rate of the visa. Because there are fewer students in other subjects who are "illegally stranded" in Japan (students who remain in Japan after the visa expires) than students in Japanese language schools, the success rate of visas is relatively high.

For the above reasons, in recent years, more and more foreign students have entered other disciplines to study Japanese. At present, there are 40 universities in Japan with foreign students majors, but only two universities have more than 100 students, namely Kansai International Studies University (150 students) and takushoku university (130 students). These universities have experience in recruiting and educating China students. For example, after accepting foreign students from other disciplines to enter universities, takushoku university takes it as its responsibility to further improve their ability to use Japanese and their comprehensive quality in all aspects, and provides higher education with quality comparable to that of the Japanese. During the 0/00 years since the school was founded, a large number of overseas students from China have been trained, and a large number of teaching methods suitable for overseas students from China have been accumulated.
