Japanese Universities with Thai Offices data

This study aggregates structural data from five authoritative sources to construct a multi-dimensional institutional profile for 40 Japanese universities. The cohort was defined based on strategic relevance, targeting universities registered with the JSPS Bangkok Office, which signals a verified institutional commitment to Thai-Japan academic exchange. 1. Institutional Identity (Source: MEXT) Sourced from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT), the primary regulator for Japanese higher education. Name: The full name of the university. Type: The official university type (National, Public, or Private). State: The prefecture or region (state) where the university is located, establishing the fundamental structural baseline. 2. Academic Selectivity (Source: Daigakuhensati) Quantifies entry difficulty using standardized examination metrics. Admission score: The university's admission selectivity score (Hensachi), capturing the competitive barrier to entry. 3. Campus Environment (Source: Minkou) Captures demand-side signals of student satisfaction. Review score: The community review rating (scaled 1 to 5), offering a qualitative proxy for the "lived student experience" and campus life quality. 4. Research Capacity (Source: Researchmap) Derived from Japan's largest researcher database operated by the Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST), measuring the scale and intensity of the academic environment. Research Student Counts: The number of research students enrolled, indicating the size of the pre-doctoral cohort. Researcher counts: The total number of affiliated professors and researchers. Publication Counts: The total volume of research projects and publications. Subject Area counts: Researcher distribution across primary disciplines (Engineering, Natural Sciences, Health, Social Sciences, etc.), enabling the identification of specialized focus areas vs. comprehensive institutions. 5. Financial Context (Source: Numbeo) Approximates the economic burden associated with the university's specific location. Living Cost: Real-time estimated monthly living cost (USD) for the university's prefecture. 6. International Accessibility (Source: Manual Verification) Manually verified via official university websites (2024-2025) to assess openness to non-Japanese speakers. Tuition discount: Binary indicator (1=Available) for specific international student tuition reduction schemes. IDP Program: Availability of Integrated Doctoral Programs. ETP Program: Availability of full English Taught Programs.
