Keio University Faculty of Economics PEARL (Programme in Economics for Alliances, Research and Leadership) is a September admission program that allows students to study economics in English and obtain a degree in four years.We are recruiting students from all over the world. According to the Keio University Faculty of Economics PEARL "Application Guidebook" Admission Statistics, the ratio of foreign applicants to all applicants is currently 4% throughout the I-III period.

This time, Keio University will introduce TAO, a global entrance examination system, to promote global standardization and digitization of the entrance examination process. TAO is available in both Japanese and English, and students can apply to multiple universities in one form.Universities can accept applications not only from Japan but also from overseas, making it easy to recruit applicants from all over the world.In addition, it is possible to operate according to the actual situation of Japanese universities, such as original form creation function and CSV import / export function.It is also useful for AO entrance exams for domestic students and multifaceted and comprehensive evaluation type entrance exams.
Universities around the world use a system called an "online application" to bring the entrance examination process online, and manage everything from application submission procedures to selection document submissions and acceptance announcements.On the other hand, in Japan, the process differs depending on the university / faculty and the entrance examination method, and the application is complicated because it requires written mail even on the Web.For this reason, there are cases where overseas applicants abandon the application itself, which may lead to a loss of opportunity for the university. The introduction of TAO seems to be able to solve these problems.
Currently, TAO has also introduced Waseda University, Kyoto University of Advanced Science, Shibaura Institute of Technology, and Graduate University for Advanced Studies in Japan.In the future, it is said that it will promote the standardization of forms in collaboration with other universities and form an entrance examination consortium for Asian universities.
