The Tokyo Metropolitan University ( English for Japanese 東京 都 立 大学 , Tōkyō Toritsu Daigaku ; literally translated: "Tokyo Prefecture University") is a public university in the Tokyo Prefecture (English self-translation " Tokyo Metropolis ").
Most of the facilities are located on the Minamiōsawa campus in Hachioji , others on the Hino campus, Arakawa campus and the Harumi campus in Chūō . The university has a student exchange program with Yale University and the University of Vienna .
history
The university was created on March 31, 2005 from the amalgamation of the Tōkyō-toritsu Daigaku ( 東京 都 立 大学 , "Tokyo Prefectural University "), from which it also took its English name, the Tōkyō-toritsu Kagaku Gijutsu Daigaku ( 東京 都 立 科学 技術 大学 , "Tokyo Prefectural University of Science and Technology"), Tōkyō-toritsu Hoken Kagaku Daigaku ( 東京 都 立 保健 科学 大学 , "Tokyo Prefectural University of Health Sciences") and the Tōkyō-toritsu Tanki Daigaku ( 東京 都 立 短期 大学 , "short college").
The first plans for this come from 1999, when Governor Shintaro Ishihara presented a renovation plan after his election that provided for all four prefectural universities to be merged into one in order to streamline administration. As a first step, a new authority, the administrative authority for prefecture universities, was established without any change in the university structure. After his re-election in 2003, Ishihara tightened his proposal and now called for the founding of a new university, which met fierce resistance in the universities. After the dissolution of Tōkyō-toritsu Daigaku , professors of economics in particular moved to a newly founded research institute at Nihon University in protest , so that the Faculty of Economics could no longer be maintained. The remaining professors of business administration and economic history now belong to the Faculty of Urban Liberal Arts as a sub-department for business administration .
