Kobe University (神戸大学, Kōbe daigaku), also known in the Kansai region as Shindai (神大), is a public research university located in Kobe, Hyōgo, Japan.
The university was established in 1949, but the academic origins of Kobe University trace back to the establishment of Kobe Higher Commercial School in 1902, which was renamed as Kobe University of Commerce in 1929, and Kobe University of Economics in 1940.[3]
It comprises 14 graduate schools and 11 undergraduate faculties, and holds about 16,000 students enrolled in undergraduate and graduate programs. International students accounted for 1,179 members of the student body as of 1 May 2021.[4] It also has 3,102 staff members, including professors, associate professors and administrative officials.[5]
The university is known to be the sole university in Japan to have a faculty dedicated to maritime sciences. It was also the first university to establish a faculty dedicated to business administration in the country.[6]
