About
Kanagawa Dental College is a highly specialized private institution in Japan, dedicated exclusively to dental education and research. Established in 1964, it is best known for its comprehensive programs in dentistry, oral health, and dental hygiene, emphasizing both theoretical knowledge and extensive clinical practice through its affiliated hospital. While the primary language of instruction is Japanese, the college fosters international academic exchange, though full degree programs for international students are predominantly conducted in Japanese, requiring strong proficiency. International students should be prepared for an immersive Japanese-language environment, with support typically integrated into general university services rather than dedicated English-speaking international offices for degree programs. A distinctive characteristic is its long-standing commitment to advancing oral healthcare through specialized education and community service in the Kanagawa region.
Background
Kanagawa Dental University (神奈川歯科大学, Kanagawa Shika Daigaku) is a private university in Yokosuka, Kanagawa, Japan. The predecessor of the school was founded in 1910 in Kanda, Tokyo as the Tokyo Joshi Shika Gakiun Gakkō (東京女子歯科医学校). After the 1923 Great Kantō earthquake, it relocated to Shinagawa. It relocated again to Ota-ku, Tokyo in 1933, and to its present location in Yokosuka in 1964. It was chartered as a coeducational university in 1964. Kanagawa Dental University Junior College is a subsidiary of the Kanagawa Dental College, and shares the same campus.
