Higher education has played an important role in the social and economic development of modern-day Japan. This chapter will discuss a small handful of key themes that contribute to our understanding of the country’s higher education system, including access and expansion, finance, privatization, internationalization and quality assurance. Of these, perhaps the most important is the element of expansion, otherwise known as the “massification” of Japanese higher education.
