Depending on the content of education, the University of Tokyo is divided into Komaba Campus in Meguro-ku, where the "Correctional Education" course is taught, Hongo Campus in Bunka-ku, where specialized education is taught, and Kashiwa Campus in Chiba Prefecture, where only graduate education is taught. The University of Tokyo's Institute of Medical Science is located in Shirokanedai, Minato-ku. Depending on the content of the research, there is the Hongo Campus, where traditional academic fields are studied, the Komaba Campus, where interdisciplinary research is conducted, and the Kashiwa Campus, where research in new academic fields is conducted. This system of separate campuses is rare at other universities, which tend to distinguish between campuses based on faculties, and there are not many universities in Japan that have an education program at the beginning of the school year.
The University of Tokyo is still a university that adopts the college system, and the campuses can actually be called Komaba College, Hongo College, and Kashiwa College. Each college has a lot of autonomy and the hours of instruction are different. But on the other hand, students have a great deal of free power in choosing elective courses, and courses from all colleges are available.
As mentioned above, the emphasis on correctional education is the most important feature of education at the University of Tokyo. While correctional education is taught as a pre-course in the Faculty of Education, it is taught by faculty members in all majors, graduate programs, and research institutes at the University of Tokyo. The University of Tokyo places great importance on correctional education, as evidenced by the fact that the University of Tokyo applied for the project "Promotion of Creative Collaboration between Correctional Education and Cutting-Edge Research in Graduate Schools" in the "Special Package University Support Project" sponsored by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, to which each university is eligible for only one application.
Correctional education is divided into a pre-course and a post-course, and basically includes a variety of majors in the liberal arts and sciences. The first course covers languages, law and politics, economics, history, cultural anthropology, physics, chemistry, biology, and mathematics. The later courses are refined on the basis of the earlier courses. The Correctional Program can be described as essentially a comprehensive education. The University of Tokyo has two distinctive features in its philosophy of governance compared to other excellent Asian universities. The first of these is that "professorial governance" is at the center of the University's management. This can be said to be a fundamental guarantee that the University of Tokyo faculties maintain a high degree of professionalism and scholarship.
Except for service departments such as scholarships and support for international students, there are virtually no specialized administrative staff in any of the University's faculties. Each department is managed by its own professors and teachers, and the faculty members do even the chores such as student registration and network maintenance themselves. Under such a management model, each faculty and even each teacher enjoys a high degree of autonomy, and every administrative measure they take is in the service of teaching and research. Under such a management model, academic freedom at the University of Tokyo is given full play.
Like the graduate schools of Chinese universities, the supervisor-responsibility system is commonly used for teaching master's and doctoral degrees in Japanese universities. But at the University of Tokyo, each faculty, and even each teacher, can decide the organization of his or her own research lab. For example, in one liberal arts graduate school, teachers of cultural history place a high value on the "master-apprentice" model, while instructors of Internet culture use open forums, and the atmosphere in each research lab is unique.
Every initiative of the University of Tokyo's schools and faculties is carried out with full consideration of the characteristics of their own specialties, and even their own class times are different from those of other faculties. If you have any problems, you can go directly to your tutor or the International Student Support Center to solve them, and you will never be kicked around.
In addition, the University of Tokyo has established restaurants and convenience stores on campus from the standpoint of providing educational services. Stores such as Starbucks, SUBWAY, and Lawson were built on the Hongo Campus. An Italian restaurant was also constructed in the Research Building of the Faculty of Medicine. A student-run website has also been set up to enhance the dissemination of information.
When you walk into the University of Tokyo's on-campus supermarket, you'll find that the shelves are arranged quite differently from those of a regular supermarket: laptops and various specialized instruments are neatly stacked like boxes of cookies, and next to the stationery cabinet hangs a row of white lab coats, which are rarely seen in a regular supermarket.
Additionally, there are 21 cafeterias and fast-food restaurants on the University of Tokyo's main campus, so no matter where you are on campus, you can quickly find a place to eat.
Like many universities in Japan, the University of Tokyo's logistics are managed by the University of Tokyo Consumer Life Cooperative (UTCL), a corporate organization. The university's requirements for the "student association" are: not to lose money, not to make money. Under this management philosophy, the university's logistics are focused on reducing costs and providing more convenience measures. Nowadays, the University of Tokyo is a convenient place to live, eat, and travel, so students can focus on their coursework and specialized research. Informatics Ring Compared to other universities, the number of required courses at the University of Tokyo is relatively small, while on the other hand, the number of elective courses at the University of Tokyo is dizzying. Not only that, but regardless of grade or major, students can take as many courses as they like, according to their interests and needs, and take whatever classes their schedule allows. Physics students can take World History, education students can take Computer Science ...... It is not uncommon for liberal arts students and engineering students, freshmen and doctoral students to appear in the same classroom at the University of Tokyo. Because students have a variety of perspectives and depth of specialization, often colliding sparks of thought, so every classroom discussion at the University of Tokyo is very much worth waiting for.
This flat curriculum is arguably another characteristic of the University of Tokyo, thanks to the changes in its pedagogical thinking in the new century.
Since the beginning of the 21st century, there has been a term that has been mentioned with increasing frequency in the education world: "composite human resources". In the human society into the information age today, the interpenetration and integration of various academic fields has become an inevitable trend in the development of each profession. Because of the promotion of "professorial governance", the front-line teachers are the managers, the University of Tokyo in the academic trend of the smell is very keen, and immediately began to carry out teaching reforms. 2000, the University of Tokyo will be some seemingly small connection between a number of majors, such as sociology, political science, culture, information engineering, statistics, environmental studies, etc., into a "information science". In 2000, the University of Tokyo combined several seemingly unrelated programs, such as sociology, political science, cultural studies, information engineering, statistics, and environmental studies, into the "Information Studies Program" and established the "Interdepartmental Information Studies Center". This out-of-the-box move was widely debated in the Japanese academic community at the time.
Ten years later, the special ability of the "Information Science Circle" has begun to fully emerge: science professors majoring in computer science, when conducting sociological research such as Internet policy, use technical means such as network construction as the theoretical basis for the idea that "IP addresses are national resources". IP address is a national resource". Professors from international political science, when studying regional cultural exchanges, electricity will be from the perspective of national interests, and make a completely different interpretation from traditional cultural experts.
At the same time, the University of Tokyo encourages professors to be actively involved in the media, corporations, and political parties, rather than soaking in research labs and libraries. There are almost no professors at the University of Tokyo who do not serve in social organizations. So compared to other universities in Japan, teachers at the University of Tokyo tend to have a broader perspective; they are well aware of the actual needs of all sectors of society, and they make realizing those needs an important part of their research, which they write about in their papers and bring into the classroom. As of 2014, the University of Tokyo has two international institutes of higher learning, 12 cutting-edge research centers, 16 directly affiliated research institutes, 47 high-level research centers at 11 affiliated research institutes, and more than 30 attached research institutes at the Graduate School.

The Japanese government is investing as much as 8 billion yen a year in basic research on nuclear fusion at the University of Tokyo, Kyoto University, Kyushu University, and several other universities. The University of Tokyo's Faculty of Science, Institute of Atomic Energy, and Faculty of Engineering have joined forces to conduct theoretical and engineering research on gas pedal science, elementary particles, and atomic energy, and have achieved initial results.
Aerospace research
Based on the Cosmic ray Research Institute of the University of Tokyo, and with an annual allocation of more than 10 billion yen from the Japanese government for equipment manufacturing and testing, 14 satellites and many launch vehicles have been launched to conduct auroral observation, detection of the planets and the Earth's magnetic field, and experiments in astrophysics and unmanned cosmic laboratories.
Research on earthquakes and volcanoes
The University of Tokyo is a world leader in research on earthquakes and volcanoes, and the government allocates 2 billion yen per year for this comprehensive research. The University of Tokyo has established a nationwide center for processing data on seismic variations, and has set up observation centers in earthquake- and volcano-prone areas throughout the country with advanced equipment and reliable forecasts.
Marine research
The University of Tokyo began its marine research in 1967 on a large oceanographic survey ship, and later, in cooperation with a U.S. consortium, it built a more advanced research vessel to conduct deep-sea drilling, research in the fields of major oceanic crustal formations, seafloor ecology, and seafloor resource development; in addition, the Ministry of Education and Culture (MEXT) has allocated funds on several occasions to organize the University of Tokyo and other researchers to participate in comprehensive scientific research expeditions to Antarctica. In addition, the Japanese Ministry of Education and Culture has allocated funds several times to organize researchers from the University of Tokyo and other schools to participate in comprehensive scientific research in Antarctica.
Cancer research
As early as 1983, the Japanese government put forward the "Ten-Year Plan for Cancer Research," which was carried out by the University of Tokyo, Tohoku University, Osaka University and other institutions in cooperation with the relevant U.S. research organizations. The University of Tokyo medical team is the backbone of the program, which focuses on the causes of cancer, diagnostic methods, and therapeutic approaches, as well as biochemistry, genetics, nuclear physics, and other fields. Collections The University of Tokyo Library was founded in 1877, and the original building burned down in the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923. A new main library was built in 1928 with funding from the Rockefeller Foundation; the entire University of Tokyo library system consists of the main library and more than 60 departmental branch libraries.
As of 2013, the University of Tokyo Library has a total of 9,260,000 books, including 4,880,000 Japanese books, 4,280,000 foreign books, and 160,000 scholarly journals; in 2012, the University of Tokyo Library acquired and donated more than 159,000 books and documents***.
