At the undergraduate level, there are mainly three routes for those who have not received their secondary education in Japanese to apply to the University of Tokyo. First, individuals with high Japanese proficiency can apply through the special admissions process for students educated overseas ({{lang|ja|外国学校卒業学生特別選考}}).<ref>{{Cite web |title=外国学校卒業学生特別選考第1種：私費留学生・第2種：帰国生徒 |url=https://www.u-tokyo.ac.jp/ja/admissions/undergraduate/e01_02_04.html |access-date=2023-11-03 |website=東京大学 |language=ja}}</ref> Students admitted via this route study alongside their peers who received secondary education in Japanese. International students who apply via this route sometimes spend a year studying the language at preparatory schools before matriculation. Second, there are undergraduate programmes called PEAK (Programs in English at Komaba), which accept applications based on international qualifications such as the [[A-level]], [[SAT]], and [[International Baccalaureate]]. All modules in these programmes are taught in English. However, learning Japanese is mandatory, and those confident in their Japanese ability can take modules taught in Japanese in other departments.<ref>{{Cite web |title=The University of Tokyo, PEAK - Programs in English at Komaba {{!}} HOME |url=https://peak.c.u-tokyo.ac.jp/ |access-date=2023-11-03 |website=peak.c.u-tokyo.ac.jp}}</ref> Third, the university offers exchange programmes with universities worldwide.<ref>{{Cite web |title=The University of Tokyo |url=https://www.u-tokyo.ac.jp/en/academics/ustep.html |access-date=2023-11-03 |website=The University of Tokyo |language=en}}</ref> There are University-wide Student Exchange Programmes (USTEP) with universities such as [[Tsinghua University]], [[Princeton University]], [[National University of Singapore]] and [[Yale University]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=The University of Tokyo |url=https://www.u-tokyo.ac.jp/en/academics/ustep-overview.html |access-date=2023-11-04 |website=The University of Tokyo |language=en}}</ref> The College of Arts and Sciences has its own exchange programmes called KOMSTEP with universities such as [[University of Paris]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Partner Universities {{!}} The University of Tokyo |url=https://www.globalkomaba.c.u-tokyo.ac.jp/en/inbound/study/programs/exchange_programs/partner.html |access-date=2023-11-04 |website=www.globalkomaba.c.u-tokyo.ac.jp}}</ref> The [[Faculty of Engineering, University of Tokyo|Faculty of Engineering]] also has its own exchange programmes, whose partner institutions include [[Petroleum Institute|Petroleum Institute, Abu Dhabi]], [[University of Cambridge]], and [[Massachusetts Institute of Technology]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=OICE: Partner Universities 「協定校一覧」 |url=https://www.oice.t.u-tokyo.ac.jp/partners/list.html#a4 |access-date=2023-11-04 |website=www.oice.t.u-tokyo.ac.jp}}</ref>

Starting in Autumn 2027, UTokyo plans to offer a five-year programme called the College of Design. The programme aims to 'redefine design as a broad concept (...) based on interdisciplinary knowledge that integrates the humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, engineering and other fields'.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Regarding media coverage of the College of Design (tentative name) concept |url=https://www.u-tokyo.ac.jp/focus/en/articles/z1310_00023.html |access-date=2024-03-29 |website=The University of Tokyo |language=en}}</ref> Approximately 100 students will be matriculated annually, with half of them coming from overseas.<ref>{{Cite web |title=University of Tokyo to launch 5-year arts and sciences program |url=https://asia.nikkei.com/Spotlight/Society/University-of-Tokyo-to-launch-5-year-arts-and-sciences-program |access-date=2024-03-29 |website=Nikkei Asia |language=en-GB}}</ref>
