History
Nagoya Imperial University, one of the representative universities of the Japanese Empire.
Toyoda Auditorium, the landmark of Nagoya University, designed by Fumihiko Maki.
Nagoya University Higashiyama Campus. The university has produced seven Nobel Prize laureates in science.

Nagoya University traces its roots back to 1871 when it was the Temporary Medical School/Public Hospital. In 1939 it became Nagoya Imperial University (名古屋帝国大学), the last Imperial University of Japanese Empire. In 1947 it was renamed Nagoya University (名古屋大学), and became a Japanese national university. In 2014, according to the reform measures of the MEXT, all Japanese national universities has been incorporated as a National University Corporation. The university has a profound tradition of physics and chemistry. Many world-class scientific research achievements include Sakata model, PMNS matrix, Okazaki fragment, Noyori asymmetric hydrogenation, and Blue LED were born in Nagoya University.

In March 2012, Nagoya University played host to the International Symposium on Innovative Nanobiodevices.[5] Three years later, NU was selected as one of the five champion universities for gender equality by the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women.[6]

The team under Professor Morishima Kunihiro participated in the Scanpyramids project by using special nuclear emulsion plates. This led to the discovery in 2017 of new chambers in the great pyramid.[7][8]

In March 2018, Nagoya University was selected as one of first five Designated National University. In order to become the largest national higher education corporation in Japan, the Tokai National Higher Education and Research System established by integrating with Gifu University in April 2020, both are major universities in Tōkai region.

The Nobel Prizes

In the 20th century, NU's Kuno Yasu and Katsunuma Seizō were nominated for the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, Yoshio Ohnuki was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Physics, and Yoshiyuki Toyama was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Chemistry.

In the 21st century, NU people account for half of the total number of Japanese Nobel Prize winners (up to 2014). Among the six winners of Nobel Prize in Natural Science, there are three professors and five alumni. The number of winners is the third among Japanese and Asian universities. The 2021 Nobel laureate Syukuro Manabe engaged as a specially invited professor at Nagoya University from December 2007 to March 2014.[9]

Overview

Features of the program

In addition to the major, international undergraduate students are required to take up to one year of Japanese classes according to their respective levels of proficiency during their first year. Intermediate, advanced, and business Japanese classes are also offered to students who wish to take them in order to further hone their language skills. Furthermore, class sizes are small and international students are advised to do research intensively. Humanities and social science students are required to write an independent thesis in the final year, and science and engineering students are required to work in student laboratory for one year and at least one year for thesis research. Each student in the program have assigned academic advisors and can have a tutor if they need or wish.

Graduate programs are research-based, and applicants are required to know their research topic and find professors who share the same research interests before applying for the program. [17]

Alumni Prospects

Many graduates from the G30 program continue to further their studies in various renowned universities worldwide, including Massachusetts Institute of Technology, University of Pennsylvania, Duke University, University of Oxford, Imperial College London, ETH Zürich, University of Tokyo, University of Melbourne, and more, including Nagoya University. [18] A substantial number of graduates also seek employment in Japan, obtaining jobs in companies that are listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange.

Exchange Programs

Study at Nagoya University

International students interested in studying in Japan can enroll in the Nagoya University Program for Academic Exchange (NUPACE), given that they belong to one of many partner institutions[58] affiliated with Nagoya University.[59] Since its inception in 1996, over 2,300 international students from 155 institutions have participated in NUPACE (as of 2020[60]). Students enrolled in this short-term, four- to twelve-months exchange program can select from a variety of courses in English and Japanese covering topics such as Japanese language, intercultural studies, or courses related to their major. Though some of these courses are specific for the NUPACE program, students can also take G30 courses or regular Japanese courses and share a learning environment with degree-seeking Nagoya University students, given that they meet certain language requirements. Additionally, students can also choose to conduct research under the guidance of Nagoya University faculty.[61] While enrolled in NUPACE, students may stay at one of the various international dormitories, and are offered the same services (like student insurance counseling) available to degree-seeking Nagoya University students.[62]

Outside of NUPACE, other exchange programs for international students are also available. Campus Asia invites undergraduate and graduate students from partner universities in China and Korea to discuss law and political science in East Asia.[63] Graduate students in Engineering can participate in the Japan-US-Canada Advanced Collaborative Education Program (JUACEP) and spend two- to twelve-months exploring different research environments through conducting individual research projects in laboratories at Nagoya University.[64] The school of Engineering also hosts the Nagoya University Summer Intensive Program (NUSIP), designed to provide students with the opportunity to engage with automobile technology in factories and research centers.[65] A two-week, intensive Nagoya University Short-Term Japanese Language Program (NUSTEP) is available to those who want to build their Japanese language proficiency and provides various activities to enrich the participant’s understanding of Japanese culture and society.[66]

International students can also pursue individual research and enroll in one of Nagoya University’s graduate schools as a research student under Nagoya University’s Research Student Program.[67]

For Nagoya University students

For degree-seeking Nagoya University students, the option to study abroad is also available. Students can study for 1 or 2 semesters in partner universities with which Nagoya University has an inter-university agreement,[68] which includes 161 universities.[69] Expanding that, students may also study at specific departments in universities with which Nagoya University has an inter-school agreement, which includes 306 universities[70] offering exchange opportunities in one or more departments. Students in this program can also receive financial aid that covers part of travel expenses or offers a monthly stipend or loan during their time abroad.[68] Graduate students in the School of Engineering can also participate in JUACEP, conducting independent research and immersing themselves in the research environment of institutes in the US and Canada.[64]

Introduction and history of the organization

Co-op Foreign Student Association, abbreviated to COFSA, caters to foreign and local students’ needs by organizing various activities that range from recreational events to career forums and community building projects. It was first established in 2015, and operates under the National University Co-op, an association that dates back to 1898 which provides nation-wide university services from cafeterias to bookstores with the goal of constructing a convenient lifestyle for students. The National University Co-op’s main mission is to foster cooperation amongst students and collaboration between Japanese universities, and COFSA was created as a byproduct of the National University Co-op to allow the Co-op to extend its mission to foreign students as well. One of COFSA's main goals is to curate events that celebrate cross-cultural exchange between local students and the diverse network of foreign students in Nagoya University. Its long-term goal is to not only provide students with a memorable and fulfilling university experience, but to also create an environment in which diverse students can share a sense of belonging and feeling of community.

Projects and activities

COFSA holds general meetings among its members biweekly, and since remote work is more important than ever before, COFSA makes sure to keep Nagoya University students engaged via accessible social media platforms such as Instagram.

Community Building Projects:

  • As part of its community building efforts, it designed an online charity livestream event to bring awareness and raise funds for the Against Malaria Foundation (AMF). Over 100,000 yen was raised for the funding and distribution of insecticidal nets for populations heavily affected by the deadly disease.
  • ‘International Food market’ and ‘Culinary masterclass’, where students share their nation’s cuisines, were conducted in an effort to help educate and foster awareness about their country’s rich traditions, history and culture through food.

Interactive Events:

  • To celebrate the many talents of Nagoya University students, COFSA has organized events such as ‘Jazz Night’ and ‘Open Mic: Stand Up Comedy’ to provide an avenue for NU students to showcase their unique talents.
  • In light of the pandemic and reports of low mental health amongst students, COFSA compiled a ‘Mental health survey’ to gain some insights into the lives of NU students. To help alleviate the toll that the current remote-work reality has on NU students, it has set up various online gaming events such as ’Game Night’,’ Halloween Internet Mystery’, ’BFF Showdown’, ‘Halloween Gaming: Let’s Play Among Us’ and online hangout sessions such as ‘Speed Meet’ to provide a relaxed platform for students to actively interact with each other.
  • Other events designed to promote interrelationship between students include ‘Conbini Hopping’, ‘Movie Nights’ ‘Harry Potter themed Halloween’ and Thanksgiving dinners.

Career Support:

Collaborations:

  • COFSA frequently collaborates with several Nagoya University organizations to create more integrated events for students. Such events include ‘COFSA x ACE Japanese Calligraphy masterclass, ‘COFSA x NUFSA Christmas Concert’, ‘COFSA x NUISG Battle Night’ and regular meetings with ‘Small World Coffee Hour.’
Introduction and history of the organization

The HeForShe NU club is a student organization consisting of Japanese and International students at Nagoya University with a mission to spread awareness about gender-related issues on campus and beyond. It was founded in 2017 by second-year JACS (G30) student Momo Mori. The first meetings consisted of her friends and interested people who came together to discuss gender-related topics, and the initial discussion was about the club’s name itself, ‘HeForShe’. From weekly meetings, the club branched out to organizing various events such as film screenings, guest speaking events, webinars (during the pandemic), and workshops about various topics. For instance, the club's theme for the year 2021 was to spread information about the menstrual period and period products in Japan, and it created a university-wide survey followed by a webinar and video project discussing the topic at the university. Its goal further on is to bring to light topics that are not often talked about in the open, such as period awareness, toxic masculinity and so on, in order to create a safer space for their discussion in the university campus.
