Business Schools Ranking in Japan

There are two types of schools within the higher education system in Japan: specialized schools (senmongakk?) and universities (daigaku). While specialized schools provide effective training in two years, universities have a more general educational goal and the first degree is awarded after four years of study. The vast majority of students choose to study at the university. For almost all students, it is necessary to spend a year or two in a private preparatory class to pass the competitive entrance examination at the university. However, this is not compulsory, and some students manage to enter university right after high school. There are three types of universities: national universities (kokuritsu), private universities (shiritsu) and public universities (k?ritsu). National universities are generally the most prestigious universities. At a high level, emphasis is placed on fundamental knowledge. Private universities are the most numerous, at all levels. However, the most prestigious compete with larger national universities. The majority of Japanese politicians have studied in the most famous private universities. Although national universities are public, when it comes specifically to public universities, nationals are generally excluded. Public universities have a reputation above the average of private universities. These universities are run by a local body.
