Outline

Tokyo University of Agriculture is a private agriculture university. It was the first such institution founded in Japan. As of 2006 it is the only private university in Japan that specializes in agriculture. Although its name is similar to Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology and the College of Agriculture at University of Tokyo, the institutions are not related to one another.

This university handles Agriculture from a multifaceted approach with 6 faculties and 23 departments, and is characterized by the fact that most academic fields within the agricultural science system can be studied. Academic fields include agriculture in a broad sense (general term for agriculture, forestry and fisheries), life sciences (genetics, molecular biology, microbiology, etc.), and food-related fields (brewing science, food safety, nutrition, food science, etc.). Economics and Business Administration), and there are also departments such as brewing and landscaping that only exist at this university. At our university, they define these academic fields as Comprehensive Agriculture and conduct wide-ranging academic research in the field of agriculture.
