Mission

President’s Message

Fostering Leaders with Awareness of Global Issues

Katsuhiko Shirai, Dr. Eng.

President

Waseda University

Waseda University aims to uphold the independence of learning, to promote the practical utilization

of knowledge, and to create good citizenship.

To uphold the independence of learning, the University shall strive to emphasize freedom of

research and investigation, and to encourage original and creative study, thereby contributing to the

advancement of knowledge.

To promote the practical utilization of knowledge, the University shall endeavor to foster ways and

means of utilizing knowledge whilst simultaneously conducting academic research and fostering

learning, thereby contributing to the progress of civilization.

To create good citizenship, the University shall stress character building enabling and encouraging

respect of individuality, enlightenment of oneself and one’s family, promotion of the welfare of state

and society, and the extension of one’s infl uence and activity in the world at large.

This declaration was made public by the founder at the 30th Anniversary Convocation held in 1913.

Striving to “co-create knowledge in the Asia-Pacifi c region,”

Waseda University is building networks with leading universities

and research institutions from around the world. We are currently

engaged in joint research and student/researcher exchanges with

over 530 institutions. Here, steady activities are bearing fruit, and

students and researchers are interacting at a high level. We are also

promoting “Double Degree Programs” at the undergraduate and

graduate levels with top-rated universities in China and Singapore.

We are actively promoting collaboration with overseas institutions

because we view the formation of “knowledge networks” as being

increasingly important. No single country or individual will be able

to resolve diffi cult problems involving the environment, population,

and disparity. That is why building global leadership networks - or

the synthesis and integration of human knowledge - is an urgent

task. When tackling these various problems, what perspectives

should be tried in academic approaches, and what kinds of

actions should be initiated? Waseda’s goal is to foster leaders that

constantly keep these questions in mind as they take their place

in the world. In one effort to achieve this, we have established a

project, “NEXT125,” that will propel the university forward toward its

next 125 years. In this way, Waseda University is striving to become

a world-class education and research institution as we also continue

to make every effort toward academic reform.

Maintaining awareness of the various historical and modern problems facing Asia, the organization contributes to the resolution of pressing issues in Asia, while also demonstrating a long-term vision for an

international society comprised of Japan and other Asian nations. Moreover, the organization will focus on promoting international cooperation with focus on young researchers, actively accepts overseas researchers, functions as an international hub for research personnel, and produces world-class researchers and opinion leaders.

Pointing to the future by helping to resolve Asia's issues

Organization for Asian Studies

In June 2007, Organization for JAPAN-U.S. Studies was established to become a world-class hub for American studies in Japan. Its focus goes beyond realizing comprehensive studies on current American politics, economy, history, and culture by offering a vision and strategic approach for US-Japan collaboration in resolving global issues. The organization is

promoting active acceptance of young researchers and invited researchers from overseas, as well as exchange with US research institutes, think tanks, Waseda University laboratories, and other bodies. At the same time, it is aiming to produce top-notch opinion leaders.

Presenting the ideal US-Japan relationship

Organization for JAPAN-U.S. Studies

The Project Research Institutes organization is a new form of research organization that operates under a set research period necessary to meet objectives. It is able to acquire funding from outside of the university, and, if necessary, form organizations

with non-Waseda University researchers. Moreover, the road is open to develop into a more permanent research organization. Currently, more than 140 Project Research Institutes have been established.

Implementation of open research based on innovative themes

Project Research Institutes, Comprehensive Research Organization

For some 40 years, Tokyo Women’s Medical University and Waseda University have been deepening research exchange that crosses the boundary between medicine and engineering, with focus on artifi cial organs, measurement, and medical materials. Against this background, both universities plan to establish collaborative and integrated facilities to promote joint research in

the life and medical sciences fi eld in 2008.This complex is to be dedicated to collaborative research in biotechnology, medicine, and the life sciences in an effort to produce innovative human resources that can pioneer new concepts in medical treatments, diagnostic systems, and other areas.

Enhancing education and research environments for young researchers

Waseda Institute for Advanced Study

The Information Technology Research Organization was launched as an organization to strategically pursue R&D in the information and communications fi eld on a university-wide basis. Its research framework is made up of four departments: the "system on a chip" department, advanced computing department, multimedia networking department, and human

interface department. It is actively involved in research projects that stretch across all Waseda organizations and campuses, joint research based on government-industry-academia collaboration, invitation of fi rst-rate researchers from both Japan and abroad, and academic exchange.

Formulating strategies to enhance international competitiveness in IT

Information Technology Research Organization

Waseda established a junior instructors system to allow research that fully demonstrates the pliable ideas, capabilities, and qualities of young researchers. In September of 2006, it established the Waseda Institute for Advanced Study as the organization to which junior instructors are assigned. Plans call

for a total of 120 young researchers to be selected during the three-year period from 2006 to 2008; in principal, over 20% of these researchers will be women and over 20% will be non-Japanese.

Double Degree Programs are joint education programs that are based on collaboration with world leading universities. They allow undergraduates at either Waseda University or the partner university to gain academic credit for the other university through overseas study if the students satisfy established requirements. Waseda began Double Degree Programs with Peking University and Fudan University in 2005, and it

will start programs with the Department of Political Science, College of Social Science, National Taiwan University and National University of Singapore in 2007. In the near future, Waseda intends to establish programs that will allow students to obtain credits from not only Asian universities but also leading universities in Europe and North America.

Double Degree Programs with World Leading Universities

In 2006, Waseda University commenced a Double Degree Program with Nanyang Technological University (NTU) for graduate students studying management of technology (MOT). This program marks the fi rst time that a Japanese university has ever conducted an academic credit program overseas. The program’s curriculum is established jointly by Waseda Business School and NTU, and faculty members of both universities give lectures. The program is a full-time (all day) one-year course,

with lectures given in Singapore. At the end of the program, a two-week “fi eld study” session is held in Japan, at which time students make visits to manufacturing sites in the Tokyo metropolitan area among other activities. Those that complete the program are awarded an MBA degree in technology management from Waseda University and an MBA degree from NTU.

NTU-WASEDA Double MBA Programme (Singapore)

Aiming to provide the highest level of university education possible in the Asia and Pacifi c region, Waseda University offers many programs that allow students to earn degrees in English based on global standards. Many overseas students from Asia and various other regions are enrolled in these programs. In fact, overseas students make up approximately 30% of all students enrolled in the School of International Liberal Studies, and it is expected that they will account for half of all students in the near future. This particular program is distinctive in that overseas students are provided with lessons to learn Japanese, while Japanese students are, in principle, required to spend one year studying abroad. Approximately 70% of students enrolled in the Graduate School of Information, Production, and Systems are overseas students, while 50% of those in the Graduate

School of Asia-Pacifi c Studies and Graduate School of Globalg Information and Telecommunication Studies are non-Japanese. By interacting with people who have different cultures and values, both overseas and Japanese students benefi t from a modern cultural education, gain a sense of ethics, and learn how to act from a global perspective. After completing their studies, Waseda University graduates use broad networks to become active throughout the world-not only in Japanese companies but also overseas enterprises and international organizations.

International Programs and ActivitiesWaseda is promoting collaboration and exchanges between Asian and other world leading universities. We aim to create individuals who have a global viewpoint and can make productive contribution to international community through joint programs with overseas universities as well as providing courses conducted in English.

Launched in 1979, ETP is a program for business executives that seek to promote business expansion into Japanese and South Korean markets by European companies. A characteristic of the program - which is offered in two forms: ETP-Japan and ETP-Korea - is that participants take both local language courses and management courses that are specialized to the particular region. Some 900 employees of European companies have participated in ETP to date. In 2005, a bid

was held by the European Commission toward revamping the program for the fi rst time in 25 years. This process resulted in the adoption of a proposal for Japanese and business studies that was submitted by a consortium of four universities (led by Institut d’Etudes Politiques de Paris in association with Bocconi University; the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), University of London; and Waseda University). A maximum of 45 people are accepted into the program each school year.

Utilizing its excellent network environment, Waseda University is creating a revolutionary networked learning environment that is founded on student participation. Using teleconferencing systems and BBS, students can participate in lectures offered by

outstanding instructors in overseas universities while remaining on campus, and engage in discussions and research with researchers and students in cooperating overseas universities.

Intensive Japanese Language ProgramThe Intensive Japanese Language Program is a course established by the Center for Japanese Language for non-Japanese who seek to perform research on or learn about Japan or Japanese or those who are currently involved in these endeavors. Its primary goal is to improve Japanese-language ability. The program is divided into a spring term (April to

September) and a fall term (September to March), with the term of study being one year. The program actively incorporates extracurricular activities to deepen understanding of Japanese society and culture. Such activities include viewings of traditional plays at theatres, tours of museums and factories, and trips to watch sporting events.

In collaboration with overseas universities, Waseda is providing network-based Cross-Cultural Distance Learning (CCDL) that utilizes teleconferencing and chat systems. Thus far, Waseda has entered into partnerships with 56 universities in 21 countries; the number of students participating in CCDL reached

3,200 in 2006. The university is working to increase its CCDL partnerships toward a goal of 100 schools.

[Long-term study abroad]Double DegreeFor: Undergraduate and graduate studentsThis is an overseas study program that allows students who have attended a prestigious overseas university while enrolled at Waseda University and who meet certain conditions to obtain academic credit for that overseas university. However, because overseas universities require a high level of reading and hearing comprehension as well as conversational ability in the local language, those wishing to participate in this program will undergo a particularly strict examination of their language ability.

For graduate students: Nanyang Technological UniversityFor undergraduate students: Peking University, National University of

Singapore, Fudan University, and National Taiwan University

Exchange ProgramFor: Undergraduate and graduate studentsThis is a program that sends exchange students to higher education institutes that have entered into exchange agreements with Waseda University. Such exchanges ordinarily involve taking courses offered by the partner university and studying together with local students. Forming the central part of Waseda University's exchange study system, the program requires a GPA of 3.0 or higher for application.

Thematic Studies Abroad (TSA) ProgramFor: Undergraduate studentsThis is a program built on a curriculum centered on "theme-based learning" that was developed for Waseda University students. A characteristic of the program is that it offers numerous forms of support for language improvement that aids students' participation in lessons at the partner university.

Individualized Studies Abroad (ISA) ProgramFor: Undergraduate studentsThis program comes quite close to the exchange program in the sense that students can take classes they desire within the ordinary curriculum of the partner university while receiving consultation from a local coordinator. In cases where students have low foreign language ability, language study may become mandatory.

Clubs & CirclesOpportunities to display enthusiasm outside of the classroom

Life at Waseda

There is another aspect of Waseda’s curriculum in which the university takes great pride: its clubs. Numbering over 700, Waseda’s clubs are grouped into fi ve offi cially recognized types: physical education clubs (43 clubs), student associations (159 clubs), hobby clubs (347 clubs), regional student associations (22 clubs), and clubs recognized by individual schools (more than 100 clubs). It is said that if unoffi cial organizations are included, the number of university clubs exceeds 2,000. In fact,

there are so many clubs that it is said that there is no topic for which a club has not been formed. All of these organizations offer ample opportunities for anyone with enthusiasm to shine. Also, Waseda University's tradition as a leader in Japan’s collegiate sports is alive and well. Waseda's athletes are electrifying not only the collegiate sports world but Japan's entire sports scene.

International Community Center (ICC)Targeted toward improving communication and understanding between international and local students, the International Community Center (ICC) is a stimulative platform for a dynamic variety of cross-cultural exchange for all members of the Waseda community. Established in July 2006, the ICC has organized

Open Education CenterThe Open Education Center offers more than 3,000 “open courses” in which students enrolled in any Waseda school can participate. Such courses include a “Theme College” in which small numbers of undergraduates from various Waseda schools tackle interdisciplinary and cross-school research themes in a seminar format, internships, and small class size language

For over 100 years, Waseda has been a shrine for competitive sports.

The Athletic Sports Center is an organization that serves to promote Waseda sports by overseeing all of the university's athletic clubs and supporting club activities through collaboration with organizations both on and off campus. Since it was fi rst launched in 1902, all of Waseda's athletic clubs have shined as leaders in Japan’s student sports for over 100 years. Waseda has produced numerous distinguished athletes, among them Mikio Oda, who captured the gold medal in the triple jump at the Berlin Olympics (1936); Shuhei Nishida, who won the silver medal in the pole vault at the same Olympics; Tsuyoshi Yamanaka, who set world records several times in freestyle swimming; and Kenji Ogiwara and Takanori Kono, who both won the gold medals in Nordic combined skiing events. Moreover, fi gure skater Shizuka Arakawa won the gold medal at the 2006 Winter Olympics. Waseda has also produced many outstanding athletes that have become national and international leaders in such team sports as baseball, rugby, and soccer. In this way, Waseda University sports are inspiring fans both in the university and throughout Japan.

Waseda International Dormitory Waseda AlumniSince its establishment, Waseda’s mission has been based on three principles: “upholding the independence of learning”, “promoting the utilization of practical knowledge” and “creating good citizenship”. These ideals are shared by the more than 527,000 alumni who sustain and support the University.

Waseda’s commitment to learning is refl ected in the achievements of its graduates who include many creative and productive scholars and educators who distinguish themselves in their respective fi elds of specialization. In the world of literature, the University has produced many eminent writers such as Haruki MURAKAMI along with gifted actors. Waseda graduates also play a prominent role in the area of legal affairs ranking as the number one among those passing the National Bar Association examination in 2004 and 2005. Increasing numbers of graduates aspiring to careers in government are succeeding in passing the national senior civil service examination. Furthermore, many graduates are journalists in the print and electronic media.

The University’s tradition of promoting the application of knowledge is clearly shown in the achievements of its graduates in many facets of the private corporate sector. Alumni are key players in research and development, construction, transport, electricity, communications and manufacturing. With the growing transformation of contemporary society into a global information community, there has been a marked entry by Waseda graduates into the so-called “soft” sectors, including fi nance, securities, trading, distribution, retailing and other information and service industries. Excellent enterpreneurs who have created prestigious fi rms such as

Many members of the diet are Waseda graduates, and countless alumni serve as members of elected local government bodies. Second, the University’s anti-elitist philosophy of education is refl ected in the professional and personal lives of alumni. Waseda men and women can be found in all sectors and levels of society, not only in Japan, but throughout the world. Alumni support the University and its mission directly and indirectly, in spirit and in deed.

SONY, CASIO, LOTTE and SAMSUMG are Waseda graduates.

Waseda’s commitment to fostering good citizenship is exhibited in both general and specifi c ways. First, the University continues to produce large numbers of graduates who, following in the tradition of founder Shigenobu Okuma, aspire to careers in national and local politics. Five distinguished Waseda graduates have held the post of Japanese Prime Minister.

Waseda University offers Waseda International Dormitory (WID) which is available for both international and domestic Waseda students. A landlord, who cares about a comfortable home environment, will provide students with a good breakfast and dinner, furnished room and well-organized facilities which help them feel at ease and start their pleasant student life. In addition

to this, they will receive assistance from a Resident Assistant (RA) who is a graduate student.In addition to the list below, we have fi ve dormitories for foreign exchange students (total of 247 rooms). And a new dormitory for overseas students (approximately 100 rooms) is scheduled to be opened near the Nishi-Waseda Campus in the summer of 2008.

Library and Museum

Comprehensive Library Database of Classic WritingsThe Comprehensive Library Database of Classic Writings project is endeavoring to provide public access to ancient materials held in Waseda University libraries through detailed bibliographical information and clear color images. A fi ve-year undertaking that began in 2005, the project is preparing and releasing parts of the database on a sequential basis. When the database is completed, it will make available valuable materials in a variety of fi elds-including some 300,000 writings, two national treasures, and fi ve important cultural assets-to the public.

Digital archiving of museum collectionsThe Tsubouchi Memorial Theatre Museum digitalized items of its collection for broad distribution via the Internet, CD-ROMs and DVDs. It is also moving forward with a 3-D digitalization project using a system that can capture objects in 3-D. Likewise, the Aizu Museum is digitalizing some 15,000 academic materials. It has prepared a CD-ROM entitled “The Yaichi Aizu Collection: Rare Implements,” which is available on the Internet together with a database called “The Writings of Yaichi Aizu.” The museum is also working to digitalize rubbings, modern paintings, and Ainu artifacts.

Campus Libraries

Library of Science and Engineering Toyama Library Tokorozawa Library

Central LibraryWith a collection of approximately 2.4 million items, the Central Library is one of the largest libraries in Japan. It also serves as a learning space with over 1,800 carrels. Every year, roughly 1.1 million people visit the library; it is especially crowded during examination and report-writing seasons. The audiovisual room on the fourth fl oor has 33 booths in which visitors can view videos or listen to CDs. The majority of the library’s collection is registered in and managed by a system-known as the “WINE System” - that allows users to search for materials through computers installed throughout the facility. Moreover, the system allows searches from private homes via the Internet. In addition to searches, the WINE System also allows library users to reserve borrowed materials or extend material lending periods on their own.

The Tsubouchi Memorial Theatre MuseumFrom Shakespeare to Godzilla, a virtual treasure trove of theater and fi lm exhibitsThe Theatre Museum is Japan’s only museum dedicated to the theatre. With a beautiful exterior that is modeled after the Fortune Theatre of Shakespeare’s day, the building is occasionally used as an actual stage. Among the items collected and preserved by the museum are scripts from Ultraman, posters for Godzilla movies, and various other items related to theatre or fi lm. In addition to special exhibits held several times during the year, the museum has a permanent display that provides a historical overview of

Japanese theatre. Visitors can also view related books and enjoy audiovisual materials. Admission is free to the general public.

Aizu MuseumBringing Waseda University’s valuable collection of cultural assets under one roofThis museum bearing the name of Yaichi Aizu (1881 - 1956) was opened in 1998. It is located in the oldest building on the campus, a structure that was built in 1925 to house the library. Designed by one of Waseda’s most famous architects, Kenji Imai, this building, together with the Okuma Auditorium, was designated a historical structure by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government in 1999. A space for special exhibits is located on the fi rst fl oor, and permanent exhibits are displayed on the second fl oor. Yaichi Aizu lectured on Oriental art history at Waseda University, and he collected many artworks at his own expense to give his students an opportunity to come into personal contact with them. Dr. Aizu was also known as a poet and a master of calligraphy; his unique style of calligraphy is still widely admired. The items that Dr. Aizu left behind-including materials pertaining to Oriental art, archeological fi ndings made over many years, valuable collections of results from ethnic studies, and magnifi cent modern paintings

and sculptures that have been donated or collected-were scattered throughout the university without being shown to the public. This museum was established to bring these items together so that they can be presented to society as cultural assets of Waseda University.

Including the Central Library, there are 28 library facilities located within Waseda University. Combined, these libraries house approximately 5.1 million items. The data of all campus libraries is entered into the WINE System, which makes it possible to search all library holdings at once.
