Why don’t more international students attend Japanese universities? It’s much cheaper, but…
Japanese universities are facing challenges with both domestic and international enrollment. Currently, international students account for only about 5% of the total university student population in Japan. In a recorded Livestream, Mike provides an update on what’s happening in Japan this summer and then explores the obstacles that Japanese universities encounter in their efforts to internationalize and diversify their campuses, as well as the factors contributing to the low enrollment of international students in Japanese universities.

Does this include private universities too?
Mike, my son is in the SILS program and just this semester is starting his year abroad in Virginia. Be interesting to see what he thinks of SILS versus USA classes after his first semester is completed.
Mike,….. Seems to beg the question… Why should international students come to Japan, pay a cheaper cost, but get a sub-standard (waste of time) education? You get what you pay for, right? I understand what you are trying to say but thinking about the international students…. Kawaiso! Mottainai!
It is up to the Ministry of Education along with the Universities that must…must…change first, then appeal to the international students to make it a valuable experience to study in Japan. If they don't any complaining about lack of internationalization is just 風に小便

Wow! I never knew that getting a degree at Japanese universities would not be recognised in countries outside Japan e.g. Australia, Canada, U.K, USA etc. I think although many Japanese universities are not high in the ranks compared to other universities abroad, I would still want to study at a Japanese university as the teaching there is far superior compared to even some top universities in the U.K. e.g. Mechanical Engineering and Earth & Planetary Sciences, two very great subject’s – a university like Tokyo Institute of Technology would have the upper hand to study these two subjects compared to even a top U.K university like Imperial College London.
