University of Tokyo ranks 10th in the THE’s World Reputational Ranking 2025

The Times Higher Education (THE) has just announced the World Reputational Ranking 2025 which ranks the University of Tokyo 10th.

According to THE:

Our ranking of the world’s most prestigious universities for 2025 has been revealed, with the top 300 most powerful academic brands listed for the first time. The revamped methodology is still based on a high-quality survey with more than 55,000 respondents – the world’s largest invitation-only, statistically representative survey of academic experts – but with additional metrics to provide a more robust measurement of reputation and more granular insights.

Professor Iwao Ojima, President of Friends of UTokyo comments: “It has been more than two decades since UTokyo disappeared from the top 10 universities list in any of the world rankings, including the most prestigious Times Higher Education rankings. Accordingly, I was very pleased to see that UTokyo came back to the top 10 universities in the “World Reputation Rankings 2025” issued by the Times Higher Education. “Reputation” is very important since it is based on the perception of scholars worldwide. We should truly celebrate this very happy news!”
