Department of Economic History

A fundamental fact of the social sciences is the impossibility of conducting scientific experiments. Historical analysis that evaluates the actual facts is as fundamental to social sciences as is theoretical analysis that predicts potential events. The purpose of this department is to shed light on the developmental processes of the world's economies from historical vantage points. The faculty members in this department can be classified into those specializing in the economic history of Japan and those specializing in economic history of regions outside of Japan. But they all try to be global in their perspective and relevant to contemporary issues, without, of course, losing the rigor of analyzing historical materials.

Department of Quantitative Finance

The Graduate School of Economics established the Finance Program in April 2005 with two main objectives: to cultivate world-class financial scholars and to create a talented group of graduates who will lead the financial world in Japan. To have a profound understanding of economic and social mechanisms, the Finance Program attaches great importance to the study of microeconomics, macroeconomics, and accounting. The study of finance covers two kinds of activities: Financial Strategy and Financial Public Policy. Financial Strategy includes asset management, development of financial products, corporate finance, risk management and other activities in the private sector. Financial Public Policy includes financial regulation, financial system design, monetary policy, currency regulation and other policy measures used by governments and central banks. Our program encompasses both themes systematically into a unique experiment. ◆ Required Japanese Level Ability at least N1 of the Japanese Language Proficiency Test ◆ Applications Distribution/Application Period Master’s program Please visit https://www.student.e.u-tokyo.ac.jp/grad/m-nyushi-e.html for more information.
