First of all, let me introduce you to what "Imperial University" is.
In fact, what we used to call "Imperial University" should be strictly called "Old Imperial University", which was founded by Japan during the Meiji Restoration to implement imperialist education and enhance national strength. Nine in all, seven in Japan, two in Taiwan Province and South Korea. Today I will focus on these seven imperial universities in Japan. They are Imperial University of Tokyo, Imperial University of Kyoto, Imperial University of Osaka, Imperial University of Tohoku, Imperial University of Nagoya, Imperial University of Hokkaido and Imperial University of Kyushu.
After World War II, in order to eliminate militarism, the word "empire" was deleted from the official name of Imperial University. For example, Imperial University of Tokyo was renamed Tokyo University, and Imperial University of Kyoto was renamed Kyoto University, which became what we call seven schools today. However, although the word "empire" has been abolished, because people are used to calling them this way, this title has been used to this day.
When it comes to "Imperial University", labels such as "long history", "strong strength" and "high scientific research level" will come to everyone's mind. In fact, these seven imperial universities are even more powerful than we thought. More than half of the Nobel Prize winners in Asia come from these imperial universities, which can represent Japan's most advanced level in science, engineering, medicine and social sciences.
Next, I will introduce these seven universities to you in detail.
1. University of Tokyo
Founded in 1886, it is the first imperial university in Japan and one of the earliest western universities in Asia. It can be regarded as the most advanced science and education pyramid and the highest academic hall in Japan. At present, the University of Tokyo has produced 16 Japanese prime ministers and 1 1 Nobel Prize winners. It can be said that the University of Tokyo has no weaknesses in academic research, and no matter what major it is, it can rank among the best in the international rankings, and it is impossible for other universities in Japan to surpass it.
2. Kyoto University
Founded in 1897, it is the second imperial university after Tokyo University. Strong in disaster prevention and IPS cell research. Strong disciplines are mainly in medicine, engineering, science, especially chemical engineering, and the Nobel Prize of Kyoto University mainly comes from this field. At present, Kyoto University * * * has produced 1 1 Nobel Prize, which ranks as the largest university in Asia together with Dongda University. Professor Yukawa Hideki, the first Japanese Nobel Prize winner, graduated from Kyoto University and later taught at Kyoto University. Kyoto University enjoys a high academic reputation all over the world and has always been called the cradle of scientists.
3. Osaka University
Founded in 193 1, it is the sixth old imperial university. Unlike several other imperial universities founded directly by the government, Osaka University was founded by non-governmental forces. Osaka University has always been praised by people because it has relatively few bureaucrats and a sense of commonness and intimacy. Although Osaka University has no Nobel Prize winners, the number of alumni in the upper business circle of Osaka University is a major feature of this school. For example, Akio Morita, one of the founders and former president of Sony, who is known as the "sage of management", and Nakamura Kuniwo, who saved Panasonic Group, are well-known alumni of Osaka University.
4. Northeastern University
Established in1907; It is the third imperial university founded in Japan after Tokyo University and Kyoto University, with a history of 1 13 years. Speaking of Tohoku University, one thing must be introduced to you: Tohoku University is the first national university in Japan to recruit female students. In the second year of Dazheng, that is, 19 13, Tohoku University resisted the restrictions of the Ministry of Education and enrolled three female students, which was the first co-education in Japanese universities. It can be seen that Northeastern University is advanced, open and inclusive.
In addition, Northeastern University is also the alma mater of Mr. Lu Xun. Mr. Lu Xun went to Sendai Medical College in Japan, and later became the medical department of Northeastern University. Northeastern University still retains the lecture hall taught by Lu Xun that year and named it "Lu Xun Lecture Hall".
5. Nagoya University
Although Nagoya University was established at the latest by Emperor Dazhong, it is by no means inferior in academic research. After entering the 2 1 century, Nagoya University has produced six Nobel Prize winners. Most of the research projects that won these Nobel Prizes were completed in Nagoya University, and it can even be said that they studied, taught and won prizes in famous universities. The equipment, instruments and data used by Nobel Prize winners themselves are still in Nagoya University. If you can successfully enter a famous university, it is equivalent to using the same resources as the Nobel Prize winner. Think about it. Are you excited?
6. Hokkaido University
Founded in 19 18, it was formerly Sapporo Agricultural School, the earliest higher education institution in Japan, and later became the fifth imperial university established in Japan. Because it started as an agricultural college, Hokkaido University has a strong natural science, and the world of agronomy and forestry is TOP50. The world of chemistry, materials science, biology, earth and marine science is TOP 100. In addition, due to the geographical location and climatic conditions of Hokkaido University, he has a separate cryogenic science research institute. Therefore, students who are interested in agriculture, forestry, chemistry and marine environment must not miss Hokkaido University.
7. Kyushu University
Kyushu Imperial University was founded in 19 1 1, formerly known as Kyoto Imperial University Kyushu Branch. Kyushu University is pioneering. It is the first university in Japan to set up the system of "institution plus research institute". What do you mean? It is such a teaching mode that education and research are properly separated and coordinated, and education is carried out through institutions of higher learning and research is carried out through research institutes, so as to focus on strengthening the attention to university education and research.
