The study of pharmaceutical sciences and natural medicine has been deeply ingrained within the history of the Kaga Domain, or Ishikawa Prefecture since Maeda Toshiie and the Maeda Clan entered Kanazawa in 1583. With this long history, the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences at Hokuriku University was established in 1975 under the guiding principles of "to love nature, respect life, and to seek t...he truth." Since its establishment, we have been passionate to nurture pharmacists who can contribute to society in the medical, health and environmental fields through education and research. In 2004, the School of Future Learning (Departments in International Management and International Liberal Arts) was founded to educate students with strong communication skills, a deep understanding and appreciation of business and law, well-rounded character as well as being internationally minded.
One characteristic of the education at Hokuriku University is a strong emphasis on the liberal arts and providing practical education allowing students to be able to quickly adapt to rapid changes in society. Another educational philosophy we practice is to show a deep affection and passion and to work with all students in order to allow them to grow and develop their character and unique personalities. Our liberal arts education provides a wide array of opportunities for students to engage their physical and emotional senses through sports, reading, arts and various cultural activities.
Hokuriku University will continue to reform and evolve in order to face the challenges of the 21st century. We look forward to welcoming you to our campus and join us in exploring the wonderful possibilities and opportunities which learning can provide and to help you discover your potential.
Each year during the summer holidays between August and September, we offer short cultural programs for all students regardless of faculty or major, where students spend anywhere from one-week to three weeks visiting our overseas partner universities. Students learn and experience the local culture as well as seeing the sights allowing them to broaden their horizons. All programs are subsidized by the university allowing students to experience life overseas at an extremely reasonable cost.
Each year, we provide opportunities for students to study for one-month, six-months or one-year at any of our overseas partner universities in Australia, U.S.A., New Zealand, England or China. Students who receive credits for their overseas studies are able to transfer those credits upon returning back to Japan allowing even those who have studied for six-months or one-year to graduate after four years of study.
Educational principles and goals:

• To foster professionalism, responsibility and logical thinking in the laboratory and kindness and sympathy in everyday life.
• To produce world-class pharmacists who have compassion and awareness, as well as the skills and knowledge required to contribute to medical welfare.
• To provide students with sound knowledge and skills in both Western and Eastern medical fields.
• To provide a curriculum that fully prepares students to gain the qualifications required to practise as a pharmacist in Japan.
