KCP Summer Short-term 2015 Students Tour Hosei University
Hosei University was initially Tōkyō Hōgakusha (Tokyo association of law), established in 1880. It was renamed Tōkyō Hōgakkō (Tokyo school of law) a year later. Dr. Gustave Émile Boissonade de Fontarabie (1825–1910) was a French legal scholar credited for drafting most of Japan’s civil code during the Meiji Era. He was honored as one of the founders of Japan’s legal system and was the head of Tōkyō Hōgakkō beginning in 1883. The school merged with Tōkyō Futsugakkō (Tokyo French School) in 1889 and subsequently took the name Hosei University (Hōsei daigaku i.e. Tokyo university of law and politics) in 1903. It was recognized as a private university in 1920.
Hosei University is one of the top universities of Japan and is 3rd highest in terms of number of applicants among all Japanese universities in 2008, 2009, and 2011. Hosei University was ranked 100 in Global Executives 2013 top 100 by The Times Higher Education.
