Doctoral courses are offered from 1953. 1957 set up a department of business studies, covering literature, economics, law, business studies, medicine, science and engineering, and set up educational research institutions such as language and culture, journalism, information science and sports.
Keio University is an important private university in Japan. Keio University and Waseda University are called "Japanese private school twins". Today, Keio University has become a large university with 9 departments, 8 graduate education departments and many research institutions. Keio University is run by Keio Education Company, and usually the president of the company is also the president of Keio University.

Japan and the United States launched human clinical trials of anti-aging substances. 20 16 July Keio University in Japan recently announced that it will cooperate with the University of Washington in the United States to launch a human clinical trial of an anti-aging substance to confirm its efficacy and safety. This substance showed effect on experimental mice. Keio University and the University of Washington carried out the first human clinical trial of nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN), an anti-aging substance in the world. NMN plays an important role in the energy production of human cells. It participates in the synthesis of intracellular nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD), which is an important coenzyme in cell energy conversion. NMN can only be synthesized in the laboratory, so it is difficult to achieve mass production. Previous experiments have confirmed that NMN can increase NAD in various organs of experimental mice, thus inhibiting the aging of nerves and blood vessels and improving the symptoms of diabetes. Both NMN and NAD are produced in human body, but with the increase of age, their contents in various organs will decrease. It is not clear what effect NMN intake will have on human organs. According to the plan, the research team will let 10 healthy male testers aged 40 to 60 ingest different amounts of NMN, and confirm the safety of ingesting NMN and its absorption in human body through physiological examination and blood examination. The research team believes that if the intake of NMN can be confirmed to be safe and effective through this study, it is possible to use NMN to prevent and treat diseases associated with aging in the future.
