The University of Tokyo, also known as UTokyo or Todai, is a Japanese national university that was founded in 1877. The university has three main campuses – the Hongo, Komaba and Kashiwa campuses – and additional facilities located in other parts of Japan. The university is affiliated with two hospitals: the University Hospital and the Institute of Medical Science Hospital. In a recent year, roughly half of the student body was studying at the undergraduate level. Tuition costs are the same for domestic and international students, and some university student housing is available.UTokyo has 10 main academic divisions for undergraduate education: agriculture, arts and sciences, economics, education, engineering, law, letters, medicine, pharmaceutical sciences and science. Undergraduates take liberal arts courses during their first two years of studies and specialize during the last two years. Of the university’s 15 graduate schools, 10 are closely related to corresponding undergraduate divisions. The other five graduate schools focus on frontier sciences, information science and technology, interdisciplinary information studies, mathematical sciences and public policy. The university’s academic calendar has four terms. The primary language of instruction is Japanese, but a few undergraduate programs and even more graduate-level programs are taught in English. The English-taught graduate offerings include an international program in economics as well as a program in architecture and urban design. UTokyo’s research centers and affiliated institutes include the Atmosphere and Ocean Research Institute, the Institute for Advanced Studies on Asia and the Center for Spatial Information Science.
