Nagoya University (NU) was first founded in 1871 as a temporary hospital and medical school. After undergoing several transitions, NU was established as an imperial university in 1939, and it has grown to be one of the world’s top research universities.Because of its internationally recognized achievements and established academic standings, Nagoya University is among the few universities selected by the Japanese government to offer international programs designed to cultivate global leaders. Since 2011, Nagoya University’s flagship departments started offering the “G30 International Programs” which are full-degree programs taught entirely in English. Through a multi-disciplinary education, these programs aim to foster innovative mindsets to respond to global issues and develop innovative solutions through inquiry and analysis, with strong communication skills to be productive members of our global society.
