- Japanese universities are facing challenges with both domestic and international enrollment. Currently, international students account for only about 5% of the total university student population in Japan. In a recorded Livestream, Mike provides an update on what's happening in Japan this summer and then explores the obstacles that Japanese universities encounter in their efforts to internationalize and diversify their campuses, as well as the factors contributing to the low enrollment of international students in Japanese universities.

Bummed that I missed the live stream! My son is a senior in high school and is interested in attending University in Japan for Geology & Paleontology.
Is he fluent in Japanese? If not, I don't think he can get an undergraduate degree in Geology and Paleontology in English. But you would have to check with the university he wants to attend.
Wow! I never knew that getting a degree at Japanese universities would not be recognised in countries outside Japan e.g. Australia, Canada, U.K, USA etc. I think although many Japanese universities are not high in the ranks compared to other universities abroad, I would still want to study at a Japanese university as the teaching there is far superior compared to even some top universities in the U.K. e.g. Mechanical Engineering and Earth & Planetary Sciences, two very great subject’s - a university like Tokyo Institute of Technology would have the upper hand to study these two subjects compared to even a top U.K university like Imperial College London.
Sorry, I may have confused you. Japanese university degrees are usually recognized abroad. My point was that people outside of Japan, do not know many Japanese universities. There is no real brand for most Japanese diplomas outside of Japan. Tokyo University and Kyoto University have some clout, but again for most people outside of Japan, unless they know something about Japan, may not even know those two universities. One last point about taking classes at TIT, if they teach those courses English, that would be possible. But not all courses are taught in English, so for some, you would have to know Japanese. And those classes that are taught in English are not always up to the same caliber of teaching due to the English level. But of course, some courses are taught well in English. It is case by case, hit or miss.
Mike, my son is in the SILS program and just this semester is starting his year abroad in Virginia. Be interesting to see what he thinks of SILS versus USA classes after his first semester is completed.
Yes, after he has been in Virginia for a while, please share his thoughts and experiences.
Mike,..... Seems to beg the question... Why should international students come to Japan, pay a cheaper cost, but get a sub-standard (waste of time) education? You get what you pay for, right? I understand what you are trying to say but thinking about the international students.... Kawaiso! Mottainai!
It is up to the Ministry of Education along with the Universities that must...must...change first, then appeal to the international students to make it a valuable experience to study in Japan. If they don't any complaining about lack of internationalization is just 風に小便
If you are coming for a language and cultural experience, Japan is very good. If you want to be in an environment that helps you grow and learn through experiences, Japan is great. But if your intentions are to try and take classes in your major, very unlikely. Unless there are courses in the all-English major programs that your university would accept. But my honest opinion is that even if you took courses in the all-English programs, they would not be that academically challenging or stimulating. English level, background and knowledge, of students, as well as the English level and teaching skill of the instructor, are all part of the mix.
Does this include private universities too?
Yes, both public and private.
Is it possible for me as a Indian to persure bachelor in data science in a public uni in japan i have completed my high school, and if do i have to take a test like imat , gre
You would have to know Japanese to get a four-year bachelor's degree at a Japanese university. Unless data science is one of the few majors that are taught all in English. You would have to check with the different universities.
