The Tokyo Oceanographic University ( Japanese 東京 海洋 大学 , Tōkyō kaiyō daigaku , English Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology , short: Kaiyōdai ( 海洋 大 ) or TUMSAT ) is a state university in Japan . The main campus (Shinagawa campus) is located in Minato-ku , Tokyo .
history
The university was founded in 2003 through the merger of the two state universities. The two were:
- the Tokyo University of Mercantile Marine ( 東京 商船 大学 , Tōkyō shōsen daigaku , English Tokyo University of Mercantile Marine ; today: Etchūjima-Campus) and
- the Tokyo University of Fisheries ( 東京 水産 大学 , Tōkyō suisan daigaku , English Tokyo University of Fisheries ; today: Shinagawa campus).
The Tokyo Merchant Navy College was founded in 1875 by the entrepreneur Iwasaki Yatarō as the Mitsubishi Seafaring School ( 三菱 商船 学校 , Mitsubishi shōsen gakkō ). It became a state school in 1882 and was renamed the Tokyo Seafaring School. It developed in 1925 to the Higher Seafaring School Tokyo ( 東京 高等 商船 学校 , Tōkyō kōtō shōsen gakkō ). In 1945, during the Pacific War , the three higher seafaring schools in Tokyo, Kobe and Shimizu (Shizuoka) were merged into one school (headquarters: Shimizu). The united higher seafaring school was raised to the merchant marine college in 1949. In 1957 it came back to the Etchūjima campus and was renamed the Tokyo Merchant Navy College. (In 1952 the Kobe Merchant Marine College was founded; its campus was the former seat of the Kobe Higher Seafaring School - today: the Faculty of Marine Sciences of the Kobe University .) She founded the master’s courses in 1974, and then the doctoral courses in 1997.
The Tokyo Fisheries College was founded in 1888 by the Japanese Fisheries Association ( 大 日本 水産 会 , Dai Nihon suisan-kai ) as a fishing school. In 1897 it became the Imperial Fisheries Institute ( 水産 講習 所 , Suisan kōshūjo , English Imperial Fisheries Institute ). In 1947 the institute was renamed the First Imperial Fisheries Institute (the second Fisheries Institute was founded in Shimonoseki - today: Suisan Daigakkō ). In 1949 the institute was promoted to the Tokyo Fishery College. In 1957 she moved to what is now the Shinagawa campus. In 1964 she founded the master’s courses, and then in 1987 the doctoral courses.
