Educational Philosophy of
the University of Tokyo
The world is currently going through an extremely difficult period as it faces
challenges at global as well as local levels ranging from issues of politics and finance
to conflict and inequality.
At the University of Tokyo we are aiming to train “Todai students with intellectual
toughness and personal resilience” who will be able to tackle these global problems
with the experience gained from having received an education at the highest level,
which goes beyond classroom learning. We hope you will consider coming to study
here with us as you prepare for your future in world-class leadership in
an intercultural setting.
The University of Tokyo, the oldest national university in Japan, has 15 graduate
schools, 10 Faculties and 11 affiliated Research Institutes, which together make up
a comprehensive university characterized by an excellent contemporary reputation,

grounded in a solid tradition. With our access to world class facilities we have been
able to sustain our tradition of producing significant academic results in both the
natural and social sciences as well as in the humanities. Taking advantage of this
favorable environment, we have been able to nurture a large talent pool, over time
producing a significant number of leaders in political and financial worlds, academia
and the arts, as well as Nobel Prize recipients in several different categories.
