Aichi Prefectural University
University’s presentation
The origin of Aichi Prefectural University can be traced back to Aichi Prefectural College for Women, which was established in 1947. The desire on the part of the people living in Aichi Prefecture to rise from the chaos of the post-World War II era prompted the establishment of a women's technical college consisting of a Department of Japanese Literature and a Department of English Literature. Later, the technical college was reorganized into a women's junior college, and in 1957, Aichi Prefectural Women's University was established as a four-year institution. In 1966, Aichi Prefectural University made a new start as a coeducational university with three faculties and nine departments (Faculty of Literature, Faculty of Foreign Languages, and Faculty of Foreign Languages II). In 1998, the campus was moved from Nagoya City to a new location in the eastern hills of Nagakute City, and facilities and equipment were completely renovated. In 2002, the Graduate School of Information Science was established. Since then, we have been aiming as a public university to contribute to the development of the region by producing talented human resources in Aichi Prefecture and beyond, based on a philosophy of education and research that encompasses, and places a high value on, internationalization, information technology, a welfare society, and lifelong learning.
In 2023, to remember and honor the lives and thoughts of those who have studied and worked at Aichi Prefectural University, the university’s 75th anniversary was commemorated through the digitalization and publication of historical documents, newspaper articles, press releases, and nostalgic old photographs, along with a short film depicting the university’s history through interviews with former students, staff, and faculty members.
