About Seikei University

Seikei University was originally established in 1912 under the name Seikei Jitsumu Gakko. It wasn’t until 1949 that it was renamed Seikei University.

Located in Kichijoji, a lively town in the city of Musashino, the university is just 20 minutes by train from downtown Tokyo. The campus is known for its avenue of zelkova trees, making it one of the 100 Soundscapes of Japan. These soundscapes are designed to combat noise pollution and help local people rediscover the sounds of every day life.

There are four undergraduate faculties that students can choose to specialise in: economics; humanities; law, and science and technology. The university also offers a number of graduate programmes.

Throughout the year, the university holds various social events for students to enjoy. These include the Cherry Blossom Festival, which marks the arrival of spring, Seikei Regatta, a boat racing competition, and the Keyaki Festival, the university’s own festival.

Students at the university are given the opportunity to study abroad as early as the summer of their first year. These Summer Schools provide students with a first-hand experience of different cultures and teaching methods.

Small group instruction is an important part of the university’s teaching mode. It is a tradition that embraces the university’s founding spirit of "connecting the true intentions of teachers and students". Professors and students strengthen their relationships and expand their knowledge by working in small groups.

The university’s founding spirit also includes respecting individuality, cultivating one’s character, self-motivation and fulfilment of labour. In addition, the university seeks to provide a well-balanced education of the heart, mind and body.
