30% of the successful candidates have declined to attend.

I found that starting from this month at the University of Tokyo, in the course of international students for fall enrollment at the undergraduate level, the first 30% of the successful candidates had declined to attend.

That flows to the large influential in Europe and North America. The University of Tokyo in Japan that even less than 1%, decline in enrollment of the successful candidates will be exposed to competition fall enrollment of international students was highlighted.

In the course "PEAK" fall admission to the University of Tokyo started in the College of Liberal Arts, taught in English only to graduate. Are deemed to be at least 10 years until the year 12 of high school, and was educated in primarily non-Japanese, the applicant can take the requirement in Japanese nationality. Capacity of around 30 people have been.

Last year, sent a faculty member in about 30 countries, the University of Tokyo PR the new course. In fact, it also provides scholarships exempt, tuition has been carefully prepared. In the entrance examination (AO) has attracted 238 people by the applicant admission office interview was conducted in January this year 1-3, and documents, 38 people pass from 14 countries and regions, such as China and South Korea. However, 11 people, such as Pakistan and New Zealand has declined to attend. He said you go to Europe and the United States such as the Oxford English leading large. I feel that you can see the world up to the level of the university itself is like a top priority.



東京大学で今月から始まる、初の学部レベルの海外学生向け秋入学コースで、合格者の３割が入学を辞退していたことがわかった。
　欧米の有力大に流れたという。国内では合格者の入学辞退が１％未満の東大も、秋入学では国際的な学生獲得競争にさらされることが浮き彫りとなった。
　東大が教養学部でスタートさせる秋入学コース「ＰＥＡＫ」では、英語による授業のみで卒業できる。出願要件は高校卒業までの１２年のうち最低１０年間、主に日本語以外で教育を受けていたこととされ、日本国籍でも受験可能。定員は３０人前後としている。
　東大は昨年、約３０か国に教職員を派遣して、新コースをＰＲ。学費が事実上、免除となる奨学金も用意して、入念に準備してきた。今年１～３月に実施した、書類と面接によるアドミッション・オフィス（ＡＯ）入試では出願者２３８人を集め、中国や韓国など１４の国・地域から３８人が合格。ただ、パキスタンやニュージーランドなどの１１人が入学を辞退した。英オックスフォード大など欧米の有力大に進んだという。大学自体のレベルを世界的に見てもアップすることが先決なような気がしますね。
