University of Tsukuba has newly obtained a credit rating of "Double A Plus" from Rating and Investment Information, Inc. (R & I) and "Triple A" from Japan Credit Rating Agency (JCR).Taking this opportunity, the company plans to further strengthen its financial base and promote university management with increased openness and transparency.

 According to the University of Tsukuba, credit ratings are judged by evaluating the ability of companies and organizations to fulfill their debts and the certainty of fulfilling individual claims such as corporate bonds.Ranks are usually divided from the highest triple A to the lowest D, and triple B and above are considered to be eligible companies and organizations to invest.

 R & I has determined that the University of Tsukuba is ranked 4th in the nation for the creation of university-launched venture companies, is ranked high in the number and amount of external funds acquired, and the management content of the affiliated hospital is stable, so it is a double A plus.The direction of the rating is stable.
In addition to the fact that the University of Tsukuba is ranked high in the competitive funding of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, JCR ranked it as Triple A, which is the highest rank because it can be expected to increase joint research income with companies, property loan income, and donation income in the future. ..This also stabilizes the direction of the rating.

 University rating evaluations have been active in the United States for some time, but in Japan as well, more and more places are receiving rating evaluations in the 21st century. As the environment surrounding universities becomes more severe due to the decrease in the 18-year-old population, diversification of financing and cost reduction are required. Compared to long-term borrowing from, the cost of interest payments can be expected to be lower.
