The Mie University ( Jap. 三重大学 , Mie daigaku ) is a state university in Japan . It is located in Tsu in Mie Prefecture .
history
The university was founded in 1949 through the merger of the following state schools:
- the normal school Mie ( 三重 師範学校 , Mie shihan gakkō , founded 1874),
- the youth normal school Mie ( 三重 青年 師範学校 , Mie his shihan gakkō , in Matsusaka , founded in 1925), and
- the agricultural and forestry school Mie ( 三重 農林 専 門 学校 , Mie nōrin semmon gakkō , founded in 1921).
There were 2 faculties: Liberal Arts and Agricultural Science. In 1966, the Liberal Arts Faculty was renamed the Faculty of Education, and in 1969 it moved to what is now the Kamihama campus. In 1972 the Mie Prefectural University ( 三重 県 立 大学 , Mie-kenritsu daigaku ; Faculties: Medicine and Fisheries) was merged to form the Mie University. Today all faculties are located on the Kamihama campus, in the former location of the agricultural and forestry college.
The Mie School of Agriculture and Forestry was one of the first Japanese schools to study civil engineering for soil improvement . The school first had to renovate its own farm; their campus was by the sea ( Ise Bay ), and the farm soil was salty and wet at the time. With the large well drilled in 1923 and the electric pumps, the soil was improved. The farm moved to the other place in 1970 to build the new school buildings (medicine and fishing).
Formula 1 driver Jules Bianchi , who had a serious accident at the Japanese Grand Prix on October 5, 2014, was treated in the university's clinic until November 18, 2014.
