| Creation of New Knowledge Founded
on Tradition and Performance Record |
| In April 2004, the University of Hyogo was inaugurated by
integrating three prefectural universities, each crowned with own history and
tradition: Kobe University of Commerce, Himeji Institute of Technology, and the
College of Nursing Art and Science, Hyogo. By leveraging the synergy of the integration
and maximizing the strength of the resulting multi-discipline university, the
University of Hyogo aims to conduct education and research with a particular
focus on interdisciplinary pursuit, promote unique, pioneering research, and
thereby create new knowledge. |

Technical School in 1944. In 1949, it was upgraded to a college of technology,

Mechanical Engineering, and Applied Chemistry at the time has since expanded
to eight departments later. After the inauguration of the School of Science in
1990 and the integration with the Himeji Junior College in 1998, the Institute
was reorganized into a multi-discipline university with three schools, two research
institutes, and one high school. In 2004, the Institute was integrated into the
University of Hyogo |
