Tokyo Theological University

Japanese: 東京神学大学 - とうきょうしんがくだいがく
Tokyo Theological University

It is a private institution. In 1943 (Showa 18), many Protestant seminaries at the time were merged with the founding of the United Church of Christ in Japan, and the school was established as the Japan Christian Theological College. The United Church of Christ in Japan was established with the aim of integrating various Protestant denominations, and the school's purpose was theological research and training of evangelists. In 1949 (Showa 24), it became a university under the new system. As of 2010 (Heisei 22), it has a Theology Department in the Faculty of Theology and a graduate school in Theology, and after completing a four-year undergraduate course, students complete a two-year master's course, essentially receiving a six-year professional education. It is one of the single-discipline universities in Japan with the smallest number of students (25 students per year). It is located at 3-10-30 Osawa, Mitaka, Tokyo.
