Japanese national university

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

As of 2007, there are 87 national universities (国立大学 kokuritsu daigaku?) in Japan, while there are 89 public universities and 568 private universities.[1] National universities, especially former imperial universities, tend to be held in higher regards in higher education in Japan than private or public universities.

In 2004, the National University system underwent partial privatization. Each national university has since 2004 been incorporated as a "national university corporation" (国立大学法人 kokuritsu daigaku hōjin?) and given considerable autonomy in its operations. Faculty and stuff are no longer a government employee (国家公務員 kokka kōmuin?) working for the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology.

The following is the full list of Japanese national universities:
