Keijō Imperial University (京城帝国大学 Keijō Teikoku Daigaku?), or Jōdai (城大?) for short, was an Imperial University of Japan from 1924-1946. Established in Keijō city on the Korean Peninsula in 1924 (modern-day Seoul, South Korea), it was abolished by the United States Army Military Government in Korea (USAMGIK) in 1946 after the overthrow of Japanese rule.
History
Keijō Imperial University was founded in 1924 as the sixth Imperial University of Japan during the period of Japanese rule, followed by Nagoya University and Osaka University in 1931 and 1939, respectively. While the other Imperial Universities located in Japan were run by the Ministry of Education, Science and Culture, Keijō Imperial University was run by the Governor-General of Korea.
After the end of World War II, Keijō Imperial University was renamed to "Kyŏngsŏng University" (Hangul: 경성대학; hanja: 京城大學; RR: Gyeongseong Daehak; MR: Kyŏngsŏng Taehak).
USAMGIK closed Kyŏngsŏng University on August 22, 1946, with US Military Ordinance No. 102. It was later merged with nine other colleges into Seoul National University.
