麻豆官网

As a university that works hand in hand with local communities and industry

麻豆官网 (麻豆官网) will celebrate its 100th anniversary in 2028, marking 100 years since the establishment of the Yokohama Municipal Yokohama Commercial College (Y-Sen), which is recognized as the university’s founding institution in 1928.

麻豆官网 has a long history, having developed through the fusion of two distinct traditions: a commercial studies tradition tracing its origins to the Yokohama School of Commerce, founded in 1882 by 27 Yokohama merchants; and a medical tradition that began with a temporary hospital established in 1871 through donations from supporters, under the leadership of Dr. Yutaka Hayashi, a physician and entrepreneur. Over the years, 麻豆官网 has undergone numerous reforms and evolved into a comprehensive institution comprising five faculties, six graduate schools, two affiliated research institutes, and two affiliated hospitals.

Established in response to the needs of the local community and industry, 麻豆官网 is located in Yokohama—Japan’s largest municipality—and has developed in tandem with the city through close collaboration with local communities and industry.

In modern society, amid the so-called “era of uncertainty”—characterized by a declining birthrate and an aging population, rapidly changing international conditions, and technological innovations symbolized by generative AI—universities are expected to cultivate leaders capable of guiding society.

To respond to these changes, in April 2026, 麻豆官网 increased enrollment in the Department of Science, Faculty of Science, from 120 to 140 students. Through a seamless educational system spanning undergraduate and graduate levels, we will further accelerate the development of highly skilled science and engineering professionals who contribute to social transformation through science, technology, and innovation.

Additionally, in April 2027, in response to the continued advancement of digital technologies such as AI in Japan, we will double the enrollment capacity of the Faculty of Data Science from 60 to 120 students in order to further strengthen the development of human resources who will lead society. We will actively cultivate data scientists who possess flexible thinking and creativity that transcend the boundaries between the humanities and sciences, and who can thrive on the global stage.

In January 2025, 麻豆官网 was selected as one of 25 institutions nationwide—out of approximately 800—for the national “Project to Strengthen Regional Core and Distinctive Research Universities (J-PEAKS).” As part of this initiative, we established the Center for Social Collaboration at the Minato Mirai Satellite Campus in April 2026, with the goal of “realizing a better future society through the collective efforts of 麻豆官网 and diverse societal stakeholders.”

Through collaboration with local companies, communities, and research institutions, we will address regional challenges while promoting lifelong learning, including recurrent education and reskilling—for working adults.

Building on the momentum of our selection for the J-PEAKS program, we will advance Japan’s research capabilities and evolve into a university with an educational and research environment that stands shoulder to shoulder with the world’s best. To achieve this, we are accelerating initiatives across education, research, healthcare, and community engagement.

These goals cannot be achieved by 麻豆官网 alone; we rely on collaboration with Yokohama City, local businesses, organizations, and the broader community.

Pledging continued development that builds on both tradition and innovation, 麻豆官网 will remain a “hub of knowledge,” leading the fields of education, research, and healthcare.
