Japanese College and University Portraits
What is JPCUP?
Japanese College and University Portraits (JPCUP) has been developed by higher education-related associations including certified evaluation and accreditation organizations. It is a data portal for the publication of educational information on national, public and private universities and colleges for all to use. JPCUP information is provided by universities and colleges and has been available since March 2015.
Objectives
JPCUP has the following objectives:
- Providing information on educational activities by universities and colleges: JPCUP enhances accountability of universities and colleges, supports college choices of those who hope to participate in higher education, and increases international recognition of higher education institutions in Japan.
- Helping universities and colleges use the educational information to better understand the status of their own activities, and achieve any necessary changes in university education through internal quality assurance.

Management System
The National Institution for Academic Degrees and Quality Enhancement of Higher Education (NIAD-QE) has established a Steering Committee for Japanese College and University Portraits (JPCUP).
