筑波大学的创建,标志着日本决心对教育体制作重大改革的首次尝试.它早在七十年代初期就在酝酿之中,其背景就是当时大学里大规模的骚乱.这场学潮把日本在教育制度上的僵化暴露无遗.对改革者来说,筑波大学是成功的,但成功的程度还远不能摇撼东京大学及京都大学我行我素的决心. 筑波大学在体制上与众不同之处在于它完全取消了系和专业的刻板划分.以往的做法常常是墨守陈规,缺乏灵活性.它的又一个特点是把教学和科研分别管理.有二千六百多个科研人员在大学二十六个科研机构和十八个研究中心从事研究工作,这些机构拥有一些日本最完善的实验设备. The founding of University of Tsukuba marked Japan's first attempt to make a major reform of its education system, which was brewing as early as the early 1970s against the background of massive riots in the university at that time, Institutional rigidity was exposed, and for the reformers, the University of Tsukuba was successful, but its success was far from shaken off by Tokyo University and Kyoto University. The institutional difference was that it completely abolished The department and the professional division of the past practice is often rigid, lack of flexibility.Its another feature is the teaching and research management separately.More than 2,600 researchers in the university twenty-six research institutions And 18 research centers engaged in research work, these institutions have some of Japan's most sophisticated experimental equipment.
