Nagoya University was established as a medical school in 1871. It became a national university in 1939. You can find us in the Tokai region of central Japan, recognized for its manufacturing industry. Since 2001, we are proud to be associated with six of Japan’s Nobel Prize awardees. These include four in physics and two in chemistry.

 

Nagoya University is a comprehensive university. It comprises nine undergraduate schools and 13 graduate schools. There are also 29 research institutes and centers. Students interested in society can study Humanities, Education, Law, Development, or Economics. Those who prefer to learn about science and technology can choose programs in Informatics, Science, Medicine, Engineering, Bioagricultural Sciences, Mathematics, Environmental Studies, or Pharmaceutical Sciences. Research institutes include those for Environmental Medicine, Materials and Systems for Sustainability, and Space-Earth Environmental Research. You can also visit several interdepartmental research and education centers on campus.
