Naoshi Sugiyama,
President of Nagoya University

Nagoya University is one of the top ranked comprehensive universities inJapan. Here, students and scholars work together, engage in top-notch

research to pursue scientific discoveries and invent new state-of-the-art
technologies. Six Nobel Prizes have been awarded to scholars associated

About Nagoya University
The origins of Nagoya University date back to its
founding as a medical school in 1871. By 1947,

with Nagoya University. Dr. Hiroshi Amano, Professor of Engineering, remains

the Japanese Government had revised its status toan active faculty member, teaching classes, directing and overseeing researcha national university. Today it is a comprehensive

activities in his laboratory. He was awarded the 2014 Nobel Prize in Physics

university with more than 10,000 undergraduate

for inventing the energy-efficient blue light-emitting diode (LED) together

and 6,000 graduate students studying subjects inwith Professor Emeritus Isamu Akasaki at Nagoya University and Professor

the Sciences, Engineering, Social Sciences andShuji Nakamura at UC Santa Barbara. This invention changed our world andHumanities. Every year, on average, more thanour daily lives. Students of Nagoya University study with top scholars intheir fields, such as Dr. Amano.
Nagoya University has committed to internationalizing the campus andpromoting diversity. For more than a decade, we have offered English-taught
programs, i.e., Global 30 International Programs, as an essential part of our

2,000 international students are enrolled and 1,000
international researchers and visitors are welcomed
every year. As a world-class center of research andeducation, Nagoya University continues tocontribute to the accumulation of knowledge andthe betterment of society.

mission. Just before the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of international
students reached almost 3,000. Students came from over 100 countries andregions. Although the number of students dropped because of the pandemic,
the number of applicants for the Global 30 International Programs hit arecord high in 2021. We continue to promote internationalization.
To ensure accessibility, Nagoya University offers students financial aid
programs. Students can apply for the G30 scholarship from Nagoya
University, and MEXT scholarship from the Japanese government. In 2021,
the Japanese government also introduced new funding schemes toprovide financial aid to Ph.D. candidates. Almost every Ph.D. candidate

our students. In recognition of this, Nagoya University is providing more
opportunities for our students to find and join groups, or meet individuals,
on campus that match their interests. To encourage interaction among ourstudents, we are constructing a new 7,000 square meters building in thecampus’s heart, between the subway station and Central Library. The newbuilding should encourage Japanese students, international students, andfaculty members to mix and socialize with each other and with people in
the local community. It will open in 2024.
If you are passionate about understanding the world better, changing
society and building the future, please join us at Nagoya University.
We look forward to welcoming you.

Financial Expenses
As a national university, Nagoya University receives much of its funding
from the Japanese government. Therefore, tuition fee is the same for all
students regardless of nationality. Although some areas of Japan are
known for their high cost of living, Nagoya remains affordable.
