"Let our dreams grow wings" is the title of our school song. The first verse reads: "With a spirit toward the future, we will learn of the immortal soul. Radiating individuals' personalities, we will try to gain deeper wisdom together with friends for tomorrow. Having the passions of youth in our hands, we will grow the wings of dreams, the wings of dreams."
This song was written to represent Tokyo City University when the university group was formed in April 2009. The song was created to embrace the vision and spirit of the university. The university evolves as a place where every student, instructor, and graduate cherishes and realizes their ambitions.
We are now advancing reforms based on our medium- and long-term plan, Action Plan 2030. The plan clarifies the university's ideals for the 90th anniversary of its founding in 2019 and on the 100th in 2029. It shows how to implement reforms in education, research, management, and the campus. The plan's targets are to become a prominent university with a strong presence in Tokyo, a cosmopolitan city, and to rank within the top 300 of the world's best universities.
Universities are education and research institutions responsible for encouraging students to dream and develop their abilities to fulfill those dreams. The scale of educational effects should be how well the students have improved their ability to enter the school and graduate. From such a viewpoint, we intend to be recognized as the best value university.
Tokyo City University is promoting human resources development with the practical ability to play active roles in the world. In 2015, we will start TAP (Tokyo City University Australia Program) in Perth, Australia, for new students. The new program aims to cultivate students as real international personnel through an original curriculum designed in collaboration with Edith Cowan University in Perth. In the program, 200 students will stay in Perth for five months. Besides the program, we will prepare various programs for developing global human resources, such as international internships and study of foreign languages abroad. If you hope to be an international person, Tokyo City University is the perfect place.
The university is located in a perfect environment very close to the center of Tokyo, a cosmopolitan city. Let us visualize your dreams and make them come true on this campus. Let our dreams grow wings, think globally, and act locally!
Libraries are established in each of the three campuses. The Setagaya Campus Library has about 270,000 books, mainly various engineering books, including architecture-related rare books. Yokohama has about 110,000 books/documents, mainly on the environment and information, and Todoroki has about 170,000 books, including those on urban issues, child education, and literature. All three libraries are fully equipped with advanced IT systems and are efficiently used by our students and faculty members, and researchers inside and outside Japan. Additionally, it is also one of our features that we reflect learners' needs, for example, by conducting the Book Selecting Tour with students.
