Keio University, Kyoritsu University of Pharmacy ink merger deal

Keio University and Kyoritsu University of Pharmacy, both based in Tokyo's Minato Ward, concluded an agreement Monday for Kyoritsu's merger into Keio on April 1, 2008, Keio University said.

Under the accord between the two private universities, Keio will have a pharmaceutical faculty and graduate school pharmaceutical division, both to be located on the current Kyoritsu campus.
All the current Kyoritsu students will be transferred to Keio upon the merger as the pharmaceutical university will be disbanded.

Keio University currently has nine undergraduate faculties and 11 graduate departments.

Kyoritsu University of Pharmacy has only one pharmaceutical school for undergraduates and one for graduates.

The two universities have traditionally had links as Kyoritsu was established by a Keio graduate.
