[edit] History
Tokyo Metropolitan University was established in 2005 by integrating three metropolitan universities and one junior college: Tokyo Metropolitan University (東京都立大学 Tōkyō Toritsu Daigaku), Tokyo Metropolitan Institute of Technology (東京都立科学技術大学), Tokyo Metropolitan University of Health Sciences (東京都立保健科学大学), and Tokyo Metropolitan college (東京都立短期大学).
Tokyo Metropolitan University was originally formed from Tokyo Metropolitan High School and Tokyo Metropolitan College of Industry, among others, in 1949. Until 1991, it had two campuses near the city center: the Yakumo campus in Meguro and the Fukazawa campus in Setagaya. On April 1 1991, it moved to a new campus in Hachiōji, Tokyo, named the Minamiosawa campus.
The English name for the university has not changed since 1949.
