Gakushuin University
Gakushūin University (学習院大学, Gakushūin Daigaku) is a private university in Mejiro, Toshima, Tokyo.
The Gakushūin ('Peers' School') was established during the Meiji period to educate the children of the Japanese nobility, but at that time the institution had only primary and secondary education departments. The university was established after World War II as tertiary component of the reorganised and privatised Gakushūin School Corporation.
The university is still noted for its royal connections, with most of the members of the present Imperial Family among its alumni.
The university provides a range of Japanese-language classes for foreign students. Although designed for Japanese students, approximately 60 classes are held in English, mainly in the Faculty of International Social Sciences. Each year the university admits approximately 80 foreign students (including short-term exchange students) of high academic and social standing to study in each faculty and graduate school.[citation needed]
The university was ranked 72nd in 2010 (63rd in 2009, 78th in 2008) in the Truly Strong Universities ranking issued by Toyo Keizai.
QS World University Rankings ranked Gakushuin University as 161st in Asia in 2010.
Japanese national universities generally have higher standards of research than private universities. However, Gakushuin is one of the few private universities which competes with the top national universities. According to Quacquarelli Symonds, Gakushuin is the 6th-best research university in Japan and the 9th-best in Asia in terms of citations per paper.
Gakushuin is the highest-ranked Japanese university in the Nature Index measurement of research output quality.
