Career and Employment
Employability Ranking at Top 400 Companies
“Employability Ranking at Top 400 Companies” is based on the Nikkei Stock Average Index, company size, name recognition, and ranking of the most popular companies among university students. Shibaura Institute of Technology was ranked 12th in Japan and 5th among private universities in the 2023 ranking published by DAIGAKUTSUSHIN Corporation, which surveyed the top 400 companies in Japan. In addition, it was ranked 4th among universities with more than 1,000 graduates.

THE World University Rankings 2024
THE (Times Higher Education) has been providing “THE World University rankings” every year since 2004. It uses the data from universities and ranks with the following indicators: teaching (the learning environment); research environment (volume, income and reputation); research quality (the outputs of research); industry (knowledge transfer) and international outlook (staff, students and research). The table shows the ranking of the major private universities in Japan. Shibaura Institute of Technology was ranked 4th in the research environment ranking and it was ranked 6th in the international outlook.
