About
Gakushuin University

Gakushuin was founded in 1877.
A new Gakushuin University opened in 1949. Students and faculty highly value the calm school atmosphere that encourages debates as equals and the pursuit of the same interests, thereby developing the traditions we see today.
Gakushuin is composed of 5 faculties and 17 departments and graduate schools, spanning the humanities, social sciences and natural sciences. All operate on one verdant and welcoming campus, Manabi no Mori in Tokyo's Mejiro district.
In 2026, we will establish a new faculty with three departments and two new graduate schools. The intellectual communications and encounters with diverse values here will connect fields and cultivate talented individuals with the ability to lead co-creation.
