The establishment of the Tokyo University of Technology dates back to 1986. However, the foundation of its predecessor as an educational corporation goes back to 1947; thus, the educational corporation itself celebrated its 60th anniversary in 2007.
Whereas Tokyo University of Technology originally started out in Hachioji, Tokyo, as a single-faculty college with only the School of Engineering, it has now grown into a university with five faculties and several colleges spanning two campuses: Hachioji and Kamata, Tokyo.

The University, nowadays, offers dozens of degree courses at the Bachelor’s, Masters’ and Ph.D. levels both to Japanese and international students. Also, it is one of the globally prestigious universities in Japan.
