YOKOHAMA

NATIONAL UNIVERSITY Yokohama National University’s Mission Yokohama National University (YNU) makes every effort to establish itself further in academic research and education in the 21st Century by upholding the following four fundamental principles. “Be Active” solve actual, real-world problems by putting theory into practice; “Be Innovative” actively promote new endeavors; “Be Open” widely open one’s doors to society; and “Be Global”: foster exchange with other nations.

Introduction Yokohama National University (YNU) was established in 1949. YNU originated from a merging of Yokohama Normal School (est. in 1876), Kanagawa Prefectural Training Institution for Teachers of Supplementary Vocational Education (est. in 1920), Yokohama Higher School of Commerce (est. in 1923), and Yokohama Higher School of Technology (est. in 1920). Today, the university comprises four Colleges (Education and Human Sciences, Economics, Business Administration, and Engineering Science) and five Graduate Schools (Education, International Social Sciences, Engineering, Environment and Information Sciences, and Urban Innovation). It has grown into a university with more than 10,000 students and 1,000 staff and faculty. Based on sixty years of history and tradition, YNU is highly internationalized, as it respects and strives to respond to the needs of society. The university is determined to provide practical knowledge to its students and to administer research and education with the aim to become a university that is more accessible to society and eager to welcome new challenges. Located in the historically international city of Yokohama, YNU has been dedicated to a global perspective and has concluded International Exchange Agreements with 123 universities in 41 countries and regions. Currently 828 international students from 74 countries are enrolled at YNU. (As of May 1, 2016)
