The academy has become a comprehensive institution consisting of two universities, including Ritsumeikan University (RU), four junior and senior high schools and a primary school. RU, which boasts 14 colleges and 20 graduate schools across 4 campuses, has actively promoted research collaboration with industry and has made significant contributions to society both nationally and globally through various academic projects. The RU alumni network extends throughout Japan and to all corners of the globe, promising students a wide range of contacts and career opportunities. Ritsumeikan University was selected in 2014 as one of 37 universities for the highly competitive “Top Global University Project” by Japan’s Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT). Acknowledged as one of the leading global universities in Japan, RU is committed to further promote its global profile and offer a world-class education to students worldwide.
