You may think that I didn't spend a lot of time talking about public universities. It's not because public universities are inferior in any way. If anything, they are likely to be pretty good universities and difficult to get in. Public universities tend to be a kind of "prefecture" university so they are not necessarily very well known unless you live around that area. But with most universities I talked about in this video, pretty much all Japanese people across the country know, especially Todai, Kyodai, Waseda, Keio, and Sophia. But there are much, much more universities in Japan and they are not necessarily "bad" universities just because they are not as famous. But if you want to know more, I don't think there's a lot of accurate information in English. So consider get my free Japanese lessons here bit.ly/2XGP7rn

I did study abroad at Waseda when I was an undergrad at UCLA. After coming back to the US and graduating, I worked for multiple Japanese companies with offices in the US. Every time an interviewer saw Waseda on my resume it gave me extra points. Once I was on an interview with someone who was very active in the alumni association out here. He told me, “you got the job, AND you have to join the alumni association.”

Am scared because I suck at math and apparently you need to do a math test just for the entrance of Tokyo university, and probably with Kyoto university too. I wanna know that if I can get into Utrecht or whatever, I will automatically be able to do an exchange program in Japan.

Especially since jobs in Japan specifically like Yuta said tend to favor students who graduated from S or A tier universities. More importantly, in the U.S., internships and networking are major factors in landing a good job so if you decide to work in the U.S do everything you can to intern in the field you wish to work in so you can build those relationships with companies established in the field and also people who are already working in the field. It is far easier to get a job if you know somebody or someone you know knows somebody working for that company.

A few friends of mine went to University of Tokyo for their exchange semester and they were actually underwhelmed. They said the professors were bad at English, the difficulty level quite low and that out of the box thinking wasn't premiered at all. On the other hand, those who went to ETH in Zürich were overwhelmed with the teaching pace and hade a hard time keeping up with the other students and those who went to top universities in the USA thought it was pretty much the same as our university, but with much nicer facilities and richer students. This makes me thinking, how does Japanese universities compare to international? Would University of Tokyo for example end up in C or B tier if it was compared internationally?

You are just comparing the overall undergrad lecture levels and ignoring the actual students raw intelligence, research from faculty, and also graduate study level. Join, for example, the UTIPE Master's Program in Economics at Tokyo and you will see if the lecture levels are high or low. It is also important to mention that if you do not speak Japanese, then the classes option would be pretty limited (around just 5% of all offered classes to Japanese students). Since you are just an exchange student, then the professors really do not care about you and just want to give pretty much easy lessons. I actually did a semester abroad at Princeton, but I didn't find the lectures to be hard at all... so can I judge the university just by this measure?

@billy khan, in general startups do not do basic research. Only large companies and governments can afford to fund basic research. Startups are generally started by people who have spun off from big companies. Remember that without basic research the world economy will dry up. Japan is one country where basic research is drying up and advanced education is falling off. Even the big famous universities (Todai for example) have been passed in the number of research papers published. For example, (www.oist.jp) OIST in Okinawa, was rated the top research university in Japan (2020) based on the number of (highly rated by peer review) research papers.

I'm actually studying abroad at Keio University right now! Do you think it'll be a big plus when job-hunting in Japan even though I'm only here for a semester? (Which means I didn't have to pass any entrance exams for example)

It’s better to add +5 for the public or -5 for the private because the difficulty is totally different

Maybe you took that reference from WakatteTV, but in fact that more accurately for measurements of hensachi should look at entrance exam’s subjects. For instance National universities with 5 to 7 subjects should be (+5), National universities with 3 subjects or below + Public universities with 5 or more subjects of 2nd entrance test(2.5), Public universities with 2 subjects or below of 2nd entrace test and private universities (+0)

I'm going to kitakyushu university in the fall!

how is/was it !!!

You grouped Kyoto and Hitotsubashi together which I think is not acceptable to many people in Japan.

It is if you look at just the humanities courses. Kyoto has STEM courses and Hitotsubashi doesn't so Kyoto's better overall, but Hitotsubashi's a really, really good university.

If you really wanted to introduce the "hierarchy" of Japanese schools, you could have said it's more or less based on how difficult it is to get in, and shown the exam problems. Along with the system of only getting to apply for one public university etc.

Yuta, can you please share the links of the lists shown in the video?

Its been a dream of mine to study at ICU but looking at this list makes me worry and doubt about getting in... when I went to a japanese education fair a few years ago I got to speak to a representative of ICU and he ended up giving me a business card when I spoke to him about my passion on studying abroad there. I kinda wish I kept it but I gave it to my old university language department to get them to partner up with ICU... they never did....

Out of interest, how does Todai compare with an Ivy League or Oxbridge degree in terms of prestige in the eyes of Japanese people? And where does Ritsumeikan figure on the list?

People outside the US don't know much about American universities. We only know about Harvard and MIT. They're prestigious but we also have our own as well and since the education level in high school in the US isn't very impressive, we don't really fantasize about it like we would with Korean Universities or top European universities.

i wanna know, is national exam/university exam the only way to get into the university? is there something like special admission (maybe like submitting your achievement or portfolio)? and i still don't understand how recommedation works too. can you please answer all those questions? thank you in advance

there are some university which offers the program in English. Do you know if the majority of the students are foreigners or do Japanese students also take the course in English too?

what about TUFS? what ranking do you think has?

Hey Yuta, I have a question for you, where would you put Tokyo Institute of Technology? It's quite a prestigious one because of its research standard. That's why asking.

It's the highest level among science universities for sure.

Interesting to see. It may be normal also to American citizens, but as a German, it still always astonishes me how there are better and worse universities. In Germany, noone really differentiates or cares, lol.

I absolutely agree with you. My elder brother studies in technical university of Munich and he told me the same thing about Germany. This is exactly how education must be. Equal and unbiased. No doubt why German education is one of the world's best.

Really? interesting. It's the same in French Canada; some universities have a reputation for certain fields (like McGill university for medicine, Concordia university for business...) but as a whole, the name doesn't matter much. I agree with the previous person who commented. This is how education should be.

@Social Justice Warrior That's just not true though. Yes, this label exists, and it has relevance for the university itself due to the financial aid, but it makes absolutely no difference in regards to the worth of one's university certificate. The university I went to got this label for exactly one year (lel) if I recall correctly - no student cared, noone noticed any difference, noone did or did not get a job because of that.

German here too I guess People care about the universities name a lot in the US and Japan because Universitiy actually costs a lot of money so obviously people want to know which university is the best for their kids and since theyre kinda private they have the money (or not) to be better than other universities

And the best part is, they’re basically free. Japanese have to pay like 8000$ a year or even more and they don’t even get a train ticket to go with it 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️
