 International Higher Education--26/14
Private universities in Japan, already under considerable pressure in recent years because of the continuing economic slump and the rapid decline in the eighteen-year-old population, are now facing a new headache.
Private universities that maintained a good ratio of teachers to students, a proper proportion of library books and classroom space per student, and so on were given more generous assistance than institutions that admitted numbers of students beyond the quotas they could properly handle.
Universities will also be judged by the professional performance of graduates on completion of their graduate studies, the number of graduate degrees conferred, and so on.

 WENR, August 2006: Japan
Although university ranking systems have matured in recent years, there is still a strong emphasis and weighting placed on the average university admissions scores of incoming freshmen.
Despite initial hostility from the public, universities and government toward these ranking criteria, efforts by the government in the late 1990s to increase the level of competition among universities and to increase the quantity and quality of research output, led to a greater appreciation for the role of the Daigaku rankings.
General conclusions from the exercise were that Japanese universities had made gains in improving their facilities, however teaching quality in general is still in need of serious improvement.

The Education Japan Rankings system is designed to provide students with all the information that they need about schools in Japan, so that they can make informed decisions about where to study.
The main barrier to study in Japan is the lack of information regarding schools, and it is with this in mind that Education Japan created this website.
For this reason, we at Education Japan go to the schools in person, get reviews from the students presently studying at the schools, and combine this with reports from the schools themselves to provide you with the information that you need to make a safe choice of school in Japan.

 30 Top Japanese Universities
For public universities this gives a reasonable approximation to an overall quality ranking, because Japanese public universities have fairly similar profiles, and so strength in one area tends to be matched by strength across the board, including in recruiting good students and in educating them well.
Private universities, however, tend to have different profiles, including strengths in education and in the humanities which are not reflected in this ranking.
Thus in a list of the truly best, Waseda and Keio would probably belong near the top, and other private universities, including Sophia, International Christian University, Meiji, and Nihon, would probably also be mentioned.
