Formally established in 1949, Kobe University is a national university based in western Japan. Its roots date back further, to 1902, when it was originally known as Kobe Higher Commercial School. Today, Kobe University is one of Japan’s leading comprehensive universities with 10 faculties and schools, 15 graduate schools and a great number of research centers and institutions.
Taking advantage of our traditional strengths in the social sciences combined with more recent initiatives across the natural and biomedical sciences, Kobe University is promoting interdisciplinary research and education to become an outstanding research university. We are committed to creating knowledge and new values to address the challenges facing our society.
Kobe University, working in a spirit of integrity, freedom, and cooperation in keeping with its open and cosmopolitan culture and environs, aims to contribute to the global community through the creation of knowledge founded on universal values and the fostering of rich understanding and strong leadership skills.
Kobe University – toward an outstanding research university exceling in advanced and integrated research in the humanities and sciences.
Kobe University is an academic institution that has continued to encourage forward-looking and independent thinking in working toward our ideal of creating ‘harmony between theory and reality’. Building on these traditions, we are now endeavoring to further utilize our ability for collaboration and integration. We pledge to become an outstanding research university that meets the highest international standards for teaching and research and can serve as a center for value creation that will help to solve the issues facing our society both at present and in the future.
Taking advantage of our traditional strength in both the social and natural sciences, and encouraging innovative research that defies the boundaries between the humanities and the sciences, we will work in collaboration with other universities and research institutes to develop and expand new areas of academic study. In addition, we will strengthen ties between undergraduate and graduate programs to ensure that students can enrich their creativity and deepen their understanding, knowing they are at the forefront of advanced research.
Through multi-faceted academic exchanges with major overseas universities in joint research and collaborative education, Kobe University will dramatically enhance its function as a ‘hub campus’ that attracts talented personnel from around the world and equips students with an international perspective. Through these collaborations in education and research, Kobe University will not only contribute to the development and practical implementation of state-of-the-art technologies that will benefit humankind, but also produce graduates who will play a leading role in finding solutions to global issues.
In order to achieve these ambitious objectives for collaboration and integration in teaching and research, Kobe University will carry out various institutional reforms to facilitate greater cooperation between individuals and the university as a whole, allowing us to combine the talents of the entire Kobe University community and work together to explore new academic frontiers.

It is a national university in Kobe. The food in the student restaurant is delicious. As the school is on the mountain like Seoul National University, I have to get off Rokko Station and walk up. The view from the wide staircase is gorgeous.

The liberal arts line up with the former emperor and the science is also a wonderful university one step higher than the top level class of the national university. However, when walking from the station the slope is tight.

Kobe University School of Management is number one in Japan. The department of science and engineering has lowered the deviation value of the university, but only the literature system is comparable to Kyoto Univ. And Osaka Univ. Employment is as good as it is not ordinary.
