The Japan University Rankings are calculated based on four broad pillars (resources, engagement, outcomes, and environment) focused on student growth and learning. The 2021 ranking includes 278 institutions.
91ÁÔÆæ improved its scores in two categories based on the assessment of students and society: engagement (based on the High School Advisors Survey and the Japan Student Survey) and outcomes (based on the reputation among employers and THE¡¯s Academic Reputation Survey).
91ÁÔÆ桯s Global Initiatives
In October last year, the Arizona State University/Thunderbird Graduate School of Global Management-91ÁÔÆæ Global Initiative was established on 91ÁÔÆæ's Higashi-Hiroshima Campus. Meanwhile, 91ÁÔÆæ's Morito Institute of Global Higher Education was set-up on the premises of Capital Normal University in Beijing, China last December. Both international projects are the first of their kind for a Japanese national university, and the recruitment and enrolment of students are expected to begin in earnest this year. 91ÁÔÆ桯s International Exchange Centre, a space designed for international students and researchers, is also scheduled to open this autumn.
