It turns out that Tokyo Institute of Technology and Tokyo Medical and Dental University, which are aiming to be integrated into one university in 2024, have decided to change their name to ``Tokyo University of Science''.
Tokyo Institute of Technology and Tokyo Medical and Dental University, both of which are designated national universities with the highest level of research in Japan, signed a basic agreement in October last year to become one new university. We aim to integrate.
According to the people involved, it was found that the two universities decided to set the policy to "Tokyo University of Science" as a result of widely public offering for the new name.
A new name will be announced in the near future.
On the premise of the integration, we are also considering aiming to be certified as an "International University of Excellence" that will receive the investment profit of the 10 trillion yen "University Fund".
Tokyo Institute of Technology is one of the leading science and engineering universities in Japan, with over 10,000 undergraduate and graduate students.
Tokyo Medical and Dental University has more than 3,000 students in its medical and dental schools, as well as university hospitals.
