Undergraduate Students
A key feature of the undergraduate education system at the University of Tokyo is that students spend their first two years studying a broad spectrum of liberal arts courses in order to firmly acquire fundamental skills. Afterwards, they proceed to one of the departments in the ten faculties for their third and fourth years in accordance with their preference, aptitude, and performance. Each department conducts diverse and high-level classes where students cultivate their talents and are led to the leading-edge of their fields.
In October 2012, two undergraduate degree programs offered in English, which are based on unique interdisciplinary curricula were started.
