When Nagoya University was established in 1939 as the country's last imperial university, it comprised the School of Medicine and the School of Science and Engineering. In 1949, following educational reform, the Eighth Higher School, Nagoya Commercial College and other educational establishments were integrated into Nagoya University, giving birth to the new Nagoya University comprising 6 schools. The University continued to develop steadily, undergoing numerous reorganizations and reforms. Since 2004, the University has been operated as a National University Corporation. It has become an international center of education and research with 9 undergraduate schools and 13 graduate schools. The year 2009 marks the 138th year since the establishment in 1871 of the University's forerunner, the temporary hospital and temporary medical school of the former Nagoya clan, as well as the major milestone of Nagoya University's 70th anniversary since its foundation as an Imperial University. Nagoya University is committed to generating world-leading results in research, and to training courageous intellectuals capable of solid logical thinking and possessing imaginative intelligence
