Education
In March 2001, Tokyo Medical and Dental University, Hitotsubashi University, Tokyo University of Foreign Studies, and Tokyo Institute of Technology concluded an agreement launching the Confederation of the Four Universities, which resulted in the establishment of the Multidisciplinary Program. All member universities seek to expand mutual exchanges and enhance their curriculum offerings through this agreement.
In October 2024, the Confederation of the Four Universities became the Confederation of the Three Universities due to the integration of Tokyo Medical and Dental University and Tokyo Institute of Technology.
The Multidisciplinary Program provides students with the opportunity to pursue advanced studies in a specialized field at partner universities etc., while continuing their professional and technological education at their affiliated universities. Participating students will be able to gain multidisciplinary knowledge across a greater breadth than was previously possible in higher education. This agreement also aims to provide students with academic alternatives in their studies or advancement to higher-degree programs such as transfers and multiple bachelor's degrees.
When students participating in the Multidisciplinary Program have earned the required number of credits from each participating university in their chosen courses, they become eligible for a certificate of completion. Applicants for the Multidisciplinary Program in Science Tokyo must be undergraduate students currently affiliated with a department or those who plan to join a department in the following year. Permission to enroll is granted after a selection process by faculty members in charge of the Multidisciplinary Program at Science Tokyo and the department chairs of the students' affiliated departments.
