Waseda University

[Column: Characteristics and Development of Waseda]

• Diversity
  Waseda University is composed of a diverse student body, faculty, staff and alumni. This diversity shifts, challenges, and integrates our ways of thinking, and it forms the very foundation for the originality of our educational programs and research projects.
• Expansiveness
  As it continues to develop within the neighborhood community where it was founded, Waseda University has not only expanded regionally but also in terms of the events that it has been associated with throughout its history of more than 130 years. We will continue to expand in this way and to develop education and research programs that will benefit future generations globally with campuses all over the world.
• Openness
  With no gates to shut itself off from the outside world, Waseda University strives to remain open to its surrounding community while continuing to develop educational and research activities in an environment that not only welcomes students from all parts of the world but also sends students out to all corners of the globe. To this end, we aim to be a university that never sleeps and is free from all time constraints by staying open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
