Kyoritsu Pharmaceutical University, originally established in 1930, was a distinguished private institution in Tokyo renowned for its specialized education in pharmaceutical sciences. It was particularly known for its comprehensive programs in pharmacy and drug discovery, preparing students for careers in research, industry, and clinical practice. In 2008, Kyoritsu Pharmaceutical University merged with Keio University, and its legacy continues as the Keio University Faculty of Pharmacy. Prospective international students interested in pharmaceutical studies would now apply through Keio University, which offers a broader range of support and programs for international students, though the primary language of instruction for pharmacy remains Japanese. A distinctive characteristic was its long history as a leading independent pharmaceutical university before the merger.
