    Nagoya University
    Nagoya, Japan

    Founded in 1871 as a medical school, and later designated a national university in 1947, Nagoya University is now one of Japan’s leading higher education institutions, known for its research excellence. It is a comprehensive university that includes 13 graduate schools, 9 undergraduate schools, three research institutes and 18 research centers. Currently, the total number of students is 16,000, of which 2,700 are international.

    Nagoya University is located in the Greater Nagoya Area of central Japan, the nation’s third largest metropolitan area, and its primary manufacturing belt. The university’s free and open academic culture has been the springboard for many remarkable research achievements. Its collegial atmosphere has nurtured a number of world class scholars, including six Nobel laureates since 2001. Furthermore, Nagoya University has established its presence across Asia as Japan’s leading university, engaging in various international cooperation initiatives.

    Nagoya University aims to increase our intake of international students to 3,200 in 10 years, while promoting the participation of Japanese students within our English-taught international programs. We also strive to increase the number of students who engage in study or training abroad programs to 70 percent. Through these aggressive internationalization tactics, Nagoya University hopes to increase the global awareness of faculty and student alike. By constructing a highly internationalized campus, we wish to attract top notch students, faculty and administrative staff from the global talent pool.
