In the "University Smartphone Site Usability Survey 2026-2027" (covering 252 universities nationwide) announced by Nikkei BP Consulting, Inc. on Friday, October 30, 2026, the official Keio University website was ranked No. 1 for the largest improvement among the surveyed schools (rising 212 spots from 225th to 13th overall).
This survey evaluates university websites based on original criteria from the perspective of usability, such as "readability" and "ease of operation" on small smartphone screens.
In April of this year, Keio University conducted a complete overhaul of its official website, which consists of approximately 32,000 pages. The high evaluation was a result of fundamental improvements made to both design and information architecture, aiming to create a user-friendly environment for a wide range of site visitors.
We will continue to strive for ongoing improvements and the enhancement of information dissemination, including the maintenance and improvement of accessibility.
