Yamaguchi University is the third oldest national comprehensive university in Japan, tracing its roots back to Yamaguchi Kodo, a private school established in 1815. It celebrated its 200th anniversary in 2015. The local area still holds the spirit of the Meiji Restoration, and the university challenges itself to stand up in the world. These values are reflected in the university motto: “Disco...ver it. Nourish it. Realize it. A Place of Wisdom.” The university administration works to adapt to the requirements of the times, constantly pursuing innovation as it works to develop human resources and provide education and research that will contribute to the local community as well as international society.
The commitment to progress and innovation is evident in many of the recent changes in the university. April 2015 saw the establishment of the Faculty of Global and Science Studies. This new faculty has become a force for globalization throughout the campus, and recognizing the importance of this globalization, welcomed 100 international exchange students to the faculty in October 2016. In April 2016, the Graduate School of Technology and Sciences for Innovation started with a goal of encouraging comprehensive, innovative education and research in science, engineering, and agriculture to further develop graduate education in the sciences.
Yamaguchi University is currently working toward a diversified campus so that the international students and researchers that gather here from around the world can have the best possible environment for their studies. In April 2011 we welcomed an International Student Advisor to campus, and building on this support for our international students, we started a tutor system where other students can also help provide both personal and academic support to those studying abroad in Yamaguchi. In 2016, the university started the Yamaguchi University Fund as part of a celebration of 200 years of history. This fund has allowed for further progress in providing support for international students. We at Yamaguchi University want the students and researchers who come to study with us to think of Yamaguchi as a second home, and be truly glad that they came here, and we will continue to improve our university and support system to make this possible.
Though some might not understand the appeal of Yamaguchi University because we are not in a large urban area like Tokyo or Osaka, we are proud to provide a peaceful and safe environment, high quality education and research, and a well-rounded support system, enabling students to study to their full potential. We invite you to come pursue your dreams at Yamaguchi University. As the president of Yamaguchi University, and as an alumnus, I look forward to seeing ambitious students cooperating and creating a bright new future together.
Yamaguchi University traces its origins back to Yamaguchi Kodo, a private school, founded by Ueda Hoyo, a feudal clansman of Choshu Province in the late Edo Period (1815). It was established for the purpose of developing academics in Yamaguchi. Since then, and through various educational reforms, this academic institution has held its place as the core for higher education in Yamaguchi, contributed to the cultivation of human resources in the region, and produced many graduates who are active internationally.
In 1949 it was reorganized to become a national university consisting of five faculties. Afterwards, in 1964 Yamaguchi Prefectural Medical College was merged into the university to form the School of Medicine. In 1978 the Faculty of Literature and Science was split into the Faculty of Humanities and the Faculty of Science. 2012 saw the establishment of the Joint Faculty of Veterinary Medicine. Throughout the years the university has expanded into a comprehensive university which boasts nine faculties and eight graduate schools. Most recently, the university launched the Faculty of Global and Science Studies in April 2015.
The year 2015 marked the 200th anniversary of the establishment of Yamaguchi Kodo. As we continue into the future, we at Yamaguchi University will strive to carry on the legacy of our predecessors for another 200 years and take the university to even greater heights.
Yamaguchi University’s actions revolve around collaboration with community and global society in various fields such as research, education, medicine, culture and economics. More specifically, the university looks to reinforce international collaboration through research, provide advanced medicine to the community, encourage lifelong learning and collaboration between industry and education, and cultivate and train human resources throughout society, from high quality teachers to competent medical professionals.
The university extensively shares its educational and research findings with society, initiates collaboration with community and global society, and contributes to social development through its role as a key university in the local area and its progress towards holding a unique niche in the Asia-Pacific region.
