About University of HYOGO
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.

In 1948, the high school was upgraded to Kobe University of Commerce, the first public university in Japan under the new educational system. Later in 1965, the Graduate School of Business Administration (Master's Course) was established, followed by the inauguration of the Graduate School of Economics (Master's Course) in 1967 and Doctoral Courses in 1971 (for the Graduate Schools of Economics and Business Administration). In 1990, the university moved to the current location, Kobe Kenkyu Gakuentoshi, and was integrated into the University of Hyogo in 2004.
Himeji Institute of Technology
Institute's Front Gate at Idei
The Institute was originally established as Hyogo Prefectural Technical School in 1944. In 1949, it was upgraded to a college of technology, Himeji Institute of Technology, under the new educational system. The School of Engi-neering that started with three departments of Electrical Engineering, 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
