FACT SHEET Osaka University Graduate School of Engineering Science/ School of Engineering Science Information valid for academic year 2019/2020 Name of the university Osaka University and Erasmus code if available Graduate School of Engineering Science/School of Engineering Science Type of agreement Inter-Faculty Agreement Osaka University Osaka University was established in 1931 as the sixth imperial university. But our academic origins can be traced back to Kaitokudo, the edo-period school for citizens founded in 1724, and Tekijuku, the school of Rangaku (Dutch Studies) opened in 1838 by Ogata Koan, a prominent medical doctor. These two establishments were influenced by cutting-edge knowledge and functioned as the place for citizens to gain knowledge and procure an education. Reviving the spirit of these two establishments, Osaka University remains a wide-open place for the education of citizens, and strives to make new discoveries that allow humans to gain more knowledge. Osaka University is striving to educate students, researchers engaged in cutting-edge research, and individuals who are socially responsible, and remarkably grounded in “Critical Thinking, Imagination, and Transcultural Communicability”, accordingly promoting Osaka University’s goals of functioning as a university with vision for citizens, researchers, the local community, and the global community. Osaka University has 11 schools, 16 graduate schools, 6 research institutes, 1 main library with 3 branches, 2 hospitals and 14 inter- university and 2 national joint-use facilities among our three campuses.
