Nagasaki University, Japan

The origin of Nagasaki University can be traced back to the time when Dutch naval physician Dr. Pompe van Meerdervoort began providing medical training at the West Office of the Nagasaki Magistrate’s Office in 1857.

At the time, Nagasaki was one of Japan’s few international trading ports authorized by the shogunate during the Edo period, when Japan maintained a policy of national isolation. Consequently, Nagasaki became a primary gateway for Western Knowledge and technology to enter Japan. Studying in Nagasaki meant gaining access to the most advanced scientific and medical knowledge at the time. With this rich historical foundation, Nagasaki University stands on the site where Japan’s modernization wave began.

In 1949, Nagasaki University was established as a comprehensive institution through the integration of various specialized faculties. These faculties covered fields essential to Japan’s growth from the mid-19th to early 20th centuries, including Arts and Sciences, Economics, Medicine, Pharmaceutical Sciences, and Fisheries. From the beginning, Nagasaki University was designed as a practical education and research institution, focused on solving real-world problems. This legacy of applied learning and innovation continues to define the university today.
