The University of Tokyo plans to open a new school in the fall of 2027, the College of Design (tentative name), which is a new educational program that aims to "take the lead in addressing the global issues facing human society in a complex and diverse modern society, and to cultivate outstanding human resources who can become future changemakers." The College of Design at Totokyo University is a five-year bachelor's and master's program, and students receive a master's degree after graduation. In today's article, I will first pick out five characteristics to tell you about the College of Design at the University of Tokyo. The University of Tokyo's College of Design is expected to offer design majors such as design of social systems such as carbon neutrality and biodiversity, design of social common capital such as medical care and education, and design of service products to improve well-being and DEI.
1. The number of students enrolled is 100, and international students are actively recruited, and the teaching language is all English.
The University of Tokyo's College of Design has an enrollment capacity of 100 students, which is the same as the number of students enrolled in the University of Tokyo's "School Recommendation Selection". It is the ninth year since the start of the "School Recommendation Selection" to 2024, and the "School Recommendation Selection" has brought a large number of enthusiastic and interesting students together, bringing many changes to the University, proving that the enrollment size of 100 students is very appropriate. We can boldly assume that the 100 students who will enter the College of Design in the future will make a real difference in the same way.
In addition, in order to achieve the goal of 30% international students in the Faculty and 40% in the Graduate School by 2049, the College of Design will actively attract outstanding students from overseas to increase the University's performance at home and abroad. Therefore, all classes will be conducted in English, and students will be provided with an active learning environment based on their own concerns and awareness of problems. 
2. Introduce a new entrance examination system
The University of Tokyo College of Design will introduce a new selection method that is not limited to conventional university entrance exams, and aims to accept students from a wide variety of backgrounds, and the enrollment period will be in the fall. Personally, I suspect that because it is actively attracting international students, the entrance examination system should be similar to some SGU English-taught programs at the University of Tokyo, for example, you may be asked to submit the following documents:
TOEFL, TOERIC, and other proof of English proficiency.
Standardized English scores such as SAT ACT, IB Alevel, etc.
Statement of Reasons for Aspirations.
Application form (specified form).
Graduation certificate and transcripts.
Letters of recommendation (may be available).
As for the selection method, there is a high probability that the interview is only, and even if there is a written test, it will be held. In short, you will not be allowed to go to Japan in person to take the exam. 
3. Interdisciplinary education that integrates arts and sciences
In recent years, major Japanese universities (especially national and public universities) have been vigorously promoting the "integration of arts and sciences", such as the establishment of the Faculty of Co-creation at Kyushu University (opened in 2018) and the Faculty of Urban Science at Yokohama National University (opened in 2017). The University of Tokyo's College of Design has redefined "design" as a broader concept, and has developed a different kind of "design" education based on interdisciplinary knowledge that integrates the arts and sciences across the humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, and engineering fields. Students can give full play to their interests and awareness of problems, and the environment for active learning is very good.
4. Five-year courses for bachelor's and master's degrees
In Japan, generally speaking, after graduating from a bachelor's degree, you need to pass the graduate school entrance exam to enter a master's program. However, the University of Tokyo's College of Design is a five-year bachelor's and master's program, which takes into account the number of years of study abroad (3 years + 2 years, 4 years + 1 year, etc.).
Some students may think, "Since it's a four-year undergraduate + one-year seminary, can I only study for four years?" I don't think so, it's a course where you have to finish five years to get a degree. At present, the University has not explained whether it is possible to withdraw from the university and obtain a bachelor's degree after completing the fourth year, and I believe that the relevant regulations will be further improved in the future.
By the way, in April 2016, Tokyo Institute of Technology in Japan unified the faculties and graduate schools for the first time, and established the "Gakuin", which provides a coherent learning system of bachelor's programs, master's programs, doctoral programs, and doctoral programs, so that students can study more systematically and have a clearer plan for the future.
5. Examples of design majors
The University of Tokyo's College of Design is expected to offer the following design majors:
Design of social systems such as carbon neutrality and biodiversity.
Design of social common capital such as medical care and education.
Improve the service product design of Well-Being and DEI.
Wait. We recruit excellent teachers from all over the world for social issues that should be solved on a global scale. If you want to make a difference in these fields, or if you want to obtain a high-quality degree from the University of Tokyo, get ready to apply to the College of Design at the University of Tokyo!
