For many of us who work and teach here in Japan, I'm not so sure that exporting Japanese-style education is the best idea.
Also, 40 students requires 40 faculty members? "Man to man" studying is this new Japanese-style education?

Why Malaysia?

I think this is a great move for UT. Malaysia is famous for twinning programs from all over the world, meaning you graduate with a local degree plus a foreign degree but spending way less money. It has proven to be very successful with many students who couldn't afford to study overseas. A lot of Japanese are already studying at local university such as Taylor's or Sunway but they will graduate with double degree. I am sure with this move more and more people will get to know UT and it is definitely a good move for them.

Admissions are 40, but that is different from the student number since its only how many enter each year. If its a 4 year program the student body would be about 160.
I imagine some of those 40 Faculty will just be dispatched to teach intensive courses for a few weeks at a time from Tsukuba. The number of full time faculty there is likely to be smaller.

The way the population is falling in Japan it could well be the Japanese-style education of the future.
Think UT is a pretty good uni, but there are better options out in the wider world for Malaysia.
