Tokyo Institute of Technology is recognized as a leading university, especially in natural science and engineering field. The university was ranked 31st worldwide according to Global University ranking and the 61st in overall performance (4th best Japanese University), the 21st in technology, and the 57th in natural science among the world's best universities in 2008, according to the TIMES-QS World University Rankings[1].
The institute has three campuses, the Ōokayama campus in Ōokayama, Meguro being the main campus. The other two campuses are the Tamachi campus, located in Shibaura, Minato and the Suzukakedai campus, located in Nagatsuta-cho, Midori-ku, Yokohama.

历史
Tokyo Institute of Technology was founded as the Tokyo Vocational School on May 26, 1881, 14 years after the Meiji Restoration. To accomplish the quick catch-up to the West, Meiji government expected this school of the cultivating of new modernized craftmen or engineers. In early days, the school located in Kuramae, eastern area of Tokyo, where many craftmen's workshops were since the old Shogun's era. But its campus was ruined by the Great Kanto Earthquake in 1923. In 1929, moved to Ookayama, a south suburb of Tokyo, it was elevated to the status of national university. After the World War II, the new educational system was promulgated in 1949 and Tokyo Institute of Technology was reorganized. Throughout the post-war reconstruction of 1950s, high economic growth era of 1960s, and the aggressive economic animal's era marching to the Bubble Economy of 1980's, it kept providing the Japan's leading engineers, researchers, business persons. Since April 2004, it has been semi-privatized into the National University Incorporation of Tokyo Institute of Technology under a new law[2] which applies to all national universities.
