Gakushuin University

Gakushuin University all undergraduate and graduate schools are located at our Mejiro Campus. This makes it simple for students to attend not only lectures at their own faculty or department but also lectures at other faculties and departments. Courses for Sports and Health Science utilize a sports ground, gymnasium and other facilities within the Mejiro Campus too. Each member of Gakushuin University is a part of the same Mejiro no Mori “knowledge” community.

Gakushuin University’s students study at the university’s green and leafy campus at Mejiro, which has five faculties with 17 departments. The small-group classes at Gakushuin University and the enclosure of the entire university within a single campus ensures that students and professors remain in close contact with each other, further enhancing the learning environment for students.

Our Mejiro no Mori “knowledge” community has a broad and diverse base of education and research. Along with the educational and research programs developed by our undergraduate and graduate schools, we also run some content-rich extracurricular programs. Both long-term and short-term studying abroad and overseas training options are available. And we offer internships and volunteer activities. Needless to say, there are group activities and club activities too. Combining these different programs enables students to create their own uniquely individual campus life.

Gakushuin University puts a lot of effort into career guidance. With the collaboration of our graduates, we provide active support to help current students gain employment in their desired occupation so that they can utilize their university studies in society. A characteristic of our university is our personalized-style career support that values the individual personality of each and every student.

Won’t you come and get involved in our Mejiro no Mori “knowledge” community? This community is open to anyone with high motivation.

Gakushuin University has conducted its own inspections and evaluations on the state of its various education and research activities in order to raise its educational and research standards and accomplish its goals and social mission.

A revision of the School Education Act covering university inspections and evaluations made it obligatory for universities to undergo an audit by a certified evaluation and accreditation organization at least once every seven years, in addition to the existing obligation to conduct self-inspections and self-evaluations.

At Gakushuin University, we are reviewing and implementing measures for improving and strengthening education levels, such as class evaluation surveys by students. We are also advancing our efforts toward self-inspection and self-evaluation of our education, research, and various other social contribution activities. Gakushuin University is also a full member of the Japan University Accreditation Association, or JUAA, and is committed to regular evaluations in future by government certified evaluation organizations including JUAA.
