Since 1881, we have helped students develop specialized knowledge and high-quality skills. Educators and members of the Career Path Support Center, Student Support Center, and International Studies Center will provide you with the assistance you need to meet your goals. Mr. Tatsugoro Watanabe established the forerunner of Tokyo Kasei University in 1881 to nurture female teachers of wisdom and virtue who could teach sewing. By teaching sewing, women could become independent and contribute to society. Helping women achieve autonomy in this way was our founding spirit. In 2016, we celebrated our 135th anniversary, retaining this same spirit. Our many graduates are working throughout Japan, putting their skills to use in all areas of society. Our first school president, Mr. Seishiro Aoki, sought to develop individuals with compassion for others. He hoped to help women acquire knowledge, expertise in their fields of study, flexible thinking skills, and a proactive ability to put these into action. Such women, moreover, would always be mindful of the importance of the human heart. Mr. Aoki espoused “love, diligence, and wisdom” as our life creed. These virtues serve as great guiding principles for our students. Naturally, students enroll in a university to acquire specialized knowledge and skills. However, in doing so, they must discover the issues that they find necessary and learn how to think about and act upon them. Students do not develop these abilities by themselves. Instead, they cultivate such skills through dialogue and working with others. This empowers students to create new values, live fully, and grow continually. Women play an essential role in modern society, and in turn, society has high expectations of women. Moreover, women are active not just in their own countries but also throughout the world. The directions women take today offer a glimpse of the diverse society of tomorrow. Tokyo Kasei University offers an educational environment built for such a society. Here, you can develop your sensitivity and intelligence and learn eagerly with an eye on the future. We teach with the hope that each student will work towards understanding the issues personally meaningful to her and build a foundation for contributing to future society while vividly demonstrating her true self. In keeping with our founding spirit and life creed, Tokyo Kasei University offers a rich educational program, along with plenty of individual support, on our beautiful Itabashi and Sayama campuses. As a school with a long tradition and track record of excellence, we hope to journey with you as you work to achieve your goals.

Teikyo University was founded in 1966 with just two faculties, Economics and Liberal Arts. Today, we are a comprehensive university extending to ten faculties in three fields—medicine, humanities, science and technology, and ten postgraduate streams. We have around 24,000 students at five campuses, mainly in the Tokyo area. The University boasts a proud record of sporting achievements and a strong tradition of excellence in medicine. Our educational philosophy of "one's way" represents an approach to life that encourages students to equip themselves with the skills and knowledge for independent thinking and individual creativity, to take responsibility for their actions and outcomes. We offer a wide range of support schemes to assist students in achieving this core goal. Through applied programs, we aim to develop skilled human resources: Recognize that achievement comes from effort. Have open minds and extensive knowledge. Think from an international perspective. Have creativity and good character. Educational Guidelines: Practical learning that helps students master logical thinking skills through real-world experience. The international perspective helps students learn how to understand and experience other cultures. The open-mindedness helps the student learn a balanced mix of knowledge and skills necessary for your future. The founding principles of Teikyo University are practical learning, international perspectives, and open mindedness. This second principle was indeed ahead of its time when the University was founded. International initiatives such as foreign exchange programs and research traineeships remain a core part of the University's mission today. Currently, we host around 400 foreign exchange students and researchers, primarily from the Asia region. Teikyo University offers a comprehensive and varied curriculum. In business and economics, students can obtain an MBA, study tourism services by taking full advantage of the extensive range of attractions in Japan or develop practical business management and marketing skills. Our medical department includes a global network that offers opportunities such as a longstanding joint public health research program with Harvard University. In this way, Teikyo University students benefit from a broad range of curriculum choices for all interests and vocational aspirations. Teikyo University has cultivated an extensive academic network in Asia, America, and Europe, including overseas campuses such as the Teikyo University of Japan in Durham (United Kingdom) and affiliations with prestigious institutions such as Oxford University. This gives students opportunities to acquire skills and establish networks of contacts that can be utilized back home while at the same time pursuing their own goals. Our modern and well-appointed campuses offer a wide range of programs to support international students and researchers, particularly by encouraging direct contact with Japanese students and researchers. The multilingual staff offers advice and assistance to provide a welcoming environment designed to ensure that every student and researcher enjoys their time at Teikyo University. Teikyo University is actively committed to our programs for foreign exchange students and researchers in Japan.
