Todai plans English-only course

The University of Tokyo said Friday it will launch a course whose classes are all in English from fiscal 2012 as part of efforts to promote internationalization.

The entrance exam for the course to be set up in the College of Arts and Science will also be conducted in English as it mainly targets foreign students. Known as Todai, the prestigious university is seeking to "gather competitive students from across the world," it said.

The university will recruit a small number of students from January to March for the course starting from October 2012. Applicants are required to have been educated in languages other than Japanese for 10 years or more before graduating from high school. While applicants will have to submit short essays, written exams will not be held.
