National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University (NYCU) commenced a visit to Japan this week, aiming to assist Japanese universities in deepening semiconductor research and development collaborations. On June 25, NYCU delegation visited our sister school, Tokyo Institute of Technology (Tokyo Tech). During this visit, NYCU delegation learned that Tokyo Tech will merge with another sister school, Tokyo Medical and Dental University (TMDU), in October this year to establish a new scientific research institution—the Institute of Science Tokyo. This move significantly advances Japan’s higher education and research sectors.
Tokyo Institute of Technology and Tokyo Medical and Dental University agreed to merge in 2022 to strengthen international competitiveness.
A New University Combining Top Engineering and Medical Sciences to Emerge in Japan
Tokyo Institute of Technology (Tokyo Tech), founded in 1881, is one of Japan’s most prestigious universities for science and technology. The university boasts world-class research facilities and an outstanding faculty dedicated to cutting-edge research in scientific and technological fields. Tokyo Tech’s academic environment and research standards are internationally renowned, particularly in materials science, electronic engineering, chemistry, and physics. Its research achievements have had a profound impact on global technological advancement.
Additionally, Tokyo Tech offers a dual master’s degree program with the International College of Semiconductor Technology at NYCU, with both institutions having deep collaborations in the semiconductor field.
