Waseda University (早稲田大学 Waseda daigaku), often abbreviated to Sōdai (早大 Sōdai), is one of the top private universities in Japan. Founded in 1882 as Tokyo Senmon Gakko (College), the institution was renamed “Waseda University” in 1902. It is known for its liberal climate symbolized by its motto Independence of Learning.

Six postwar Prime Ministers are Waseda alumni: Tanzan Ishibashi (1956–1957), Noboru Takeshita (1987–1989), Toshiki Kaifu (1989–1991), Keizo Obuchi (1998–2000), Yoshiro Mori (2000–2001), and Yasuo Fukuda (2007–2008). Waseda’s literature program is particularly famous, and counts Haruki Murakami and Tawara Machi among its graduates.

ts alumni also boasts various corporate leaders such as Masaru Ibuka, co-founder of Sony, Lee Kun-hee, chairman of Samsung, Takeo Fukui, CEO of Honda, Atsutoshi Nishida, CEO of Toshiba, Masuko Osamu, CEO of Mitsubishi Motors, Testuro Toyoda, CEO of Toyota Industries, Kenichi Ohmae, founder and ex-Senior Partner of McKinsey & Co Japan and many others. Currently, seven of the Fortune Global 2007’s CEOs are Waseda University graduates.

Waseda University is a member of Universitas 21, an international network of 21 leading research-intensive universities.

History

The university was founded by samurai scholar and Meiji-era politician and former prime minister Okuma Shigenobu in 1882, and was designated a full university in 1902. It started as a college with three departments under the old Japanese system of higher education.
In 1882, there were department of political science and economics, department of law, and department of physical science. At the same time, along with these departments, English language course was also established, where the students of all the departments could learn English.

Three years later, the department of physical science was closed due to few applicants. Department of science and engineering was newly established in 1908.

Department of literature was established in 1890.
Department of education was established in 1903, and department of commerce in 1904.

Much of the campus was destroyed in the firebombings of Tokyo during World War II, but the university was rebuilt and reopened by 1949. It has grown to become a comprehensive university with two senior high schools and a School of Art and Architecture.

Waseda University started its life as ‘Tokyo Senmon Gakko (College)’ on October 21, 1882. Before the name ‘Waseda’ was selected, it was known variously as ‘Waseda Gakko’ or ‘Totsuka Gakko’, after the location of the founder’s villa in Waseda Village and the school’s location in Totsuka Village respectively. Around 1892, people started to call it ‘Waseda Gakko’. It was renamed ‘Waseda University’ on September 2, 1902, upon acquiring University status.

Testimonials

“When I looked for an MBA I was already an expat but living in EU and I knew I was going to be moving around the world for the following years. To give you an example, in July 2004 I was living in Tamworth (UK) , in September I was living in Barcelona (I even bought a house) and in January I moved to Geneva. Therefore, I was looking for something that first of all was compatible with my lifestyle. Most of my study time is done in planes, airports, hotel rooms, etc. A “normal” MBA could not offer this. In addition, most of the expats work in multinational companies and in multicultural environments. The Euro*MBA provides a similar scope in its courses, and the continuous interaction with multicultural students with a very diverse background really makes me a more valuable asset for my firm. In addition, the environment created by the Euro*MBA is the same environment that we have in our company: lots of international people with different culture, background and religions.”
Juan José Oliver Forniès,
Medical Sector Head – IMI Norgren/Medical Sector, Switzerland

“I currently live in Mumbai, India, with my husband and two young children (age 2 and 3). After working in banking and communications for over 10 years, I took a three years sabbatical to join my husband when he was asked by his employer for an expat assignment in India. To use my time wisely I decided to do an MBA, something I wanted to do for a long time. I looked at several distance learning programmes and decided to join the Euro*MBA because of the accreditations and the international scope. This turned out to be an excellent choice. I have a lot of interaction with my fellow students through the online database and during the residential weeks. Working on the group assignments is very intense and you get to know each other pretty well! I combine the MBA with work for an Indian NGO managing their communications. When our expat time in India ends I will get back to work. I am sure my MBA and my experiences in India will prove to be a very valuable asset in finding the right job.”
Sandra van der Lingen,
Communications manager, India

ETH Zurich University Ranked 42th in the 2007 THES-QS World University Ranking

ETH Zurich was founded in 1855 as Federal Polytechnical School. In view of its 150th anniversary 2005, the chair for the history of technology of ETH Zurich has produced the «ETHistory 1855–2005» web site.

The ETH is a federal institute (i.e., under direct administration by the Swiss government), whereas the University of Zurich is a cantonal institution. The decision for a new federal university was heavily disputed at the time, because the liberals pressed for a “federal university”, while the conservative forces wanted all universities to remain under cantonal control, with the goal of giving liberal thoughts no refuge. In the beginning, both universities were co–located in the buildings of the University of Zurich.

In 1909, the course program of the ETH was restructured to that of a real university, from its early, very schoolish agenda, and the ETH was granted the right to award doctorates. In 1911, it was given its current name, Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule. In 1924, another reorganization structured the university in 12 departments.

Since 1993 the ETH Zürich, the EPFL, and four associated research institutes were joined and administered together as the “ETH Bereich”.

The ETH is regularly ranked among the top universities in the world. It is placed between 3rd and 6th in Europe and between 10th and 27th in the world in international rankings by the Academic Ranking of World Universities and the Times Higher Education Supplement World University Rankings. It was also ranked 12th by the latter in both sciences and technology in 2005.

Historically, the ETH achieved its reputation particularly in the fields of chemistry, mathematics and physics. There are 21 Nobel Laureates who are associated with the ETH, counting only graduates of the ETH and Professors who have been honored for their work at ETH. The most recent Nobel Laureate is Kurt Wüthrich who was awarded the Nobel Prize in chemistry in 2002.

Education
The basis of education at the ETH Zurich is formed by the core areas of engineering, natural sciences, architecture and mathematics. In addition, courses in physical education and military sciences are offered. The goal of instruction is to enable the students to acquire solid technical knowledge, practical skills, and the ability to take part in interdisciplinary activities. Relying on an atmosphere of a mutual trust among teachers and students, and a reciprocal awareness of social and ethical concerns, the ETH Zurich encourages in its students both individual creativity and the ability to reflect on and evaluate their own actions, with the aim of achieving a comprehensive outlook and a responsible mode of behaviour. Considering the need for a new approach to knowledge and technology and a better understanding of the nature of man, the ETH Zurich treats the humanities and social sciences as integral parts of its educational profile.

Further education
The ETH Zurich takes into account the fact that learning is being seen more and more as a life-long process. Correspondingly, the basic curriculum is kept relatively short and is later supplemented by postgraduate and further education courses. This is to promote a more rapid transfer of knowledge and technology between the university and the world outside.

Research
At the ETH Zurich teaching and research are closely linked. Equal standing is assigned to knowledge-oriented basic research and to problem-solving research. Both areas are dedicated to fulfilling the highest standards, and are long-term oriented. The ETH Zurich is specially committed to the continuous development of that innovative potential within society and industry.

International links
As an institute of higher learning and research, the ETH Zurich cultivates an international standing. It is aware that its scientific contribution has to be confirmed by the international research community. Thus the ETH Zurich strongly supports international co-operation in all fields of research and education. As a long-term strategy, it also devotes special attention to structurally and economically underdeveloped countries.

Co-operation
The ETH Zurich encourages partnerships and interdisciplinary co-operation among members of its community, with other educational and research institutions, with industry, and with the public administration, and it believes in keeping the public informed regarding these activities. The sustainable development of human society depends on our efforts both to create and support a strong and innovative economy.

Self-management
The ETH Zurich sets itself the goal of efficient self-management in the sense of providing optimal services to education and research within the given juridical framework. It endeavours to gain additional financial support, beyond the allotted public funds, from industry and private sources. Faithful to the basic principles of research and teaching, the ETH Zurich practices an economical use of resources such as land, materials and energy, and assigns high priority to security for human beings and the environment.

Employer
In its relationship with staff, the ETH Zurich conceives itself to be a responsible employer committed to observing up-to-date employment practices and working conditions. It adheres to a co-operative, fair style of management, allowing forms of participation appropriate to employeesí occupation and position, and it maintains an open information policy. No discrimination among its members is permitted on the basis of sex or social, ethnic or religious origin. The ETH Zurich wants to increase the proportion of women in all fields of research, teaching and administration. The ETH Zurich demands a high level of human and professional competence from senior personnel in all categories.

Location Zurich
The ETH Zurich benefits greatly from Zurichís urban setting. It feels closely tied to and responsible towards the city and canton. For its part it contributes to the cultural life of the city and region, and in all its activities pays regard to urban needs.
