Readers searching for “Tokyo University” usually mean the University of Tokyo, one of Japan’s leading national universities. It is located in Tokyo, Japan, and its official site lists 15 graduate schools covering fields from engineering and science to law, economics, and public policy.
The original version of this article described “Tokyo University” as an approved university in Missouri, United States. That is incorrect. There is no major institution by that name in Missouri. The mix-up matters because applying to the wrong school wastes time and money.
If you want a master’s degree from the University of Tokyo, start at the university’s official site, u-tokyo.ac.jp, and check the graduate school that matches your field. Note that many programs are taught in Japanese, though some English-taught options exist. Admission is competitive and requirements vary by graduate school.
More broadly, always verify a university’s identity before applying. Confirm the official website, the physical location, and the accreditation status. Marketing pages sometimes borrow the names of famous institutions, intentionally or not.
For general guidance on choosing programs, read about how employers view online master’s degrees, compare online degree options, and review the skills a master’s degree can build. International applicants should also check affordable online master’s programs for international students as part of their planning.
