TMU Vision 2030

Pioneering the global future from Tokyo through the power of scholarship

Tokyo Metropolitan University is the only university operated by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government. It leverages a unique position to provide an education that nurtures human resources who can play an active role in responding to societal changes and to promote varied kinds of basic and applied research as well as research into issues in major metropolitan areas. These activities will contribute to the development of Tokyo and pioneer the global future.

Message from the President

Attentive education and research guidance will help develop your flexible intelligence

As the only comprehensive university established by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, Tokyo Metropolitan University values its relationship with the government and people of Tokyo, and its important mission is to advance human knowledge by promoting basic and applied research in a wide range of fields.

Under the Vision, “Pioneering the global future from Tokyo through the power of scholarship,” TMU is strengthening and internationalizing its research capabilities at an accelerated pace. You, the students, are at the heart of this activity. I believe that, by taking advantage of the close relationships between students and faculty staff and between students themselves, we can provide attentive education and research guidance that will help develop your flexible intelligence.

While we face problems, such as infectious diseases, global warming, and armed conflicts around the world, which raise concerns about the future, advances in information technology and artificial intelligence are opening the door to a brighter future society. In the midst of this situation, learning and studying are what make us human, and the wisdom of mankind should be exercised to overcome difficulties and pioneer the future. To this end, we will promote learning and research more vigorously than ever before.

Our campus, where TMU’s knowledge is concentrated, is blessed with a rich natural environment despite its location in the global city of Tokyo. Experience cutting-edge research and meet people from around the world engaging in such research so you can spread your wings into the future.

We will do our utmost to support you in your endeavors.
