The Graduate School of Public Policy (GraSPP) at the University of Tokyo was founded in 2004 and is one of the premier public policy schools in Asia. It is located on the University's Hongo campus in Bunkyo-ku, and consists of approximately 200 students. The current dean is Takatoshi Ito, former Deputy Vice Minister of Finance for International Affairs.
The department consists of five separate plans of study, all leading to the Master of Public Policy degree. These five plans of study are Legal Policy (Japanese), Public Management (Japanese), International Public Policy (Japanese), Economic Policy (Japanese), and International Program (English). Many of the students in the International Program are sponsored by the World Bank, International Monetary Fund, or Asian Development Bank. Most students graduate in two years (four semesters), with most Japanese students matriculating in the spring (April) and most foreign students matriculating in the fall (October). Courses are categorized as either Basic Courses, Topics Courses, Case Studies, or Practical Training. The department is located on the Hongō campus and draws resources largely from two other faculties at the University of Tokyo: the Faculty of Economics and the Faculty of Law and Politics.
