Features
Nagasaki University traces its roots back to a series of medical lectures, the first ever given in Japan, delivered by the Dutch Naval doctor J. L. C. Pompe van Meerdervoort in 1857. After experiencing devastation by the atomic bombing, it reopened as a university of five faculties and one research institute in 1949, in a merger of several educational institutions of different academic disciplines.
The university has the following philosophy: “Nagasaki University community share the pride and innovative spirit of Dejima as a place of study. We maintain an attitude to learn even from serious consequences of inhumane decisions made about religion and the use of science. We will provide education and conduct research based on a clear intention and willingness to realize a world where people can coexist peacefully. We will contribute to the peaceful development of the local community and international society by passing on accumulated knowledge beyond the boundaries of time and people’s perceptions of value, fostering a rich spirit of cherishing humanity, and creating new science that will pave the way to the future”. At the beginning of 2022, the university encompasses 10 faculties, seven graduate schools, two research institutes, and the Nagasaki University Hospital.
For the fourth medium-term goal period (2022- 2028), Nagasaki University aims to become a world-class center of planetary health education and research which contributes to the realization of planetary health by bringing together and creating knowledge through transdisciplinary manner.
