history

The story goes back to the year 1902 when the Kobe Higher Commercial School ( 神 戸 高等 商業 学校 , Kobe kōtō shōgyō gakkō ) was founded. Its first president was Tetsuya Mizushima ( 水 島 銕 也 , 1864-1928). In 1929 the school was renamed Kobe University of Commerce ( 神 戸 商業 大学 , Kobe shōgyō daigaku ), and then in 1944 to Kobe University of Economics ( 神 戸 経 済 大学 , Kobe keizai daigaku ).

With the new Japanese education system, the university was founded in 1949 with the normal school Hyōgo ( 兵 庫 師範学校 , Hyōgo shihan gakkō ), youth normal school Hyōgo ( 兵 庫 青年 師範学校 , Hyōgo his shihan gakkō ), the Kōbe technical center ( 神 戸 工業 専 門 学校 , Kōbe kōgyō semmon gakkō ) and Himeji High School ( 姫 路 高等学校 , Himeji kōtō gakkō ) merged to form the University of Kobe . These schools were all in Hyogo Prefecture .

In 1964, the former Medical University of Kobe ( 兵 庫 県 立 神 戸 医科大学 , Hyōgo kenritsu kobe ika daigaku ) became the medical faculty. In 1966, the former Hyōgo Agricultural University ( 兵 庫 県 立 兵 庫 農科 大学 , Hyōgo kenritsu hyōgo nōka daigaku ) became the Faculty of Agriculture. In 2003, the former Kobe Nautical University ( 神 戸 商船 大学 , Kobe shōsen daigaku ) became the Faculty of Marine Sciences.
