TEMPLE UNIVERSITY DELIVERS TOP-RANKED GLOBAL EDUCATION IN THE HEART OF TOKYO
With about 37,000 students enrolled worldwide, Temple University is a global education powerhouse. In Tokyo, students have access to the same academic standards, network and curricula of its Philadelphia headquarters through its Japan campus. Temple University, Japan Campus (TUJ) is Japan’s oldest and largest foreign university. It offers full American degree programmes and tailored courses in a genuine international learning environment with students from nearly 60 countries.
“As a globally top-ranked university, our comprehensive approach is unparalleled in preparing today’s students for tomorrow’s workplace,” says TUJ’s dean Matthew Wilson, who has a juris doctor degree from Temple University. “We cater to more than 3,000 learners with diverse backgrounds and perspectives in an international environment where we place students first.”
Asians, including those from China, are recognising this opportunity as enrolment has hit all-time highs despite the pandemic. Without having to leave Asia, students can obtain an American degree and liberal arts education at an affordable price.
At TUJ, students benefit from innovative approaches. Its Emerging Leaders Program trains incoming undergraduate students on essential skills such as leadership, communication and networking.
TUJ has also incorporated esports and computer information studies into its curricula designed for online and in-person learning. The university’s Corporate Education programme, meanwhile, provides tailored language and business skills training for employees.
Students are also free to continue their studies at Temple University’s campuses in Philadelphia or Rome, while having the option to explore its growing number of partner schools across Asia, including Meiji University in Japan and Yonsei University and Kyung Hee University in South Korea.
“We’re moving forward in a very creative, innovative and contemporary way as we look to bridge gaps between cultures while having fun,” says Wilson, who plays basketball with students and takes them hiking on weekends. “The Japan campus was exceptional when I was a student to get me back here as its dean.”
