The Hyōgo Prefectural University ( Japanese 兵 庫 県 立 大学 , Hyōgo-kenritsu daigaku ) is a public university in Japan . The main campus (Kobe Gakuentoshi Campus) is located in Nishi-ku , Kobe in Hyogo Prefecture .

history

The university was founded in 2004 through the merger of the three prefectural colleges: (Prefectural) Commercial University of Kobe ( 神 戸 商科 大学 , Kobe shōka daigaku , founded in 1929), the Himeji Technical University ( 姫 路 工業 大学 , Himeji kōgyō daigaku , founded in 1944) and the Prefectural University Hyōgo Nursing College ( 兵 庫 県 立 看護 大学 , Hyōgo-kenritsu kango daigaku , founded in 1993).

With its establishment, it set a new main campus (Kobe campus) in Chūō-ku, Kobe. She inherited another five campuses from the three former universities:

Other campuses: Awaji Campus (2008 in Awaji , Hyōgo. 34 ° 33 ′ 46.7 ″  N , 134 ° 57 ′ 56.5 ″  E ) and Kobe Port Island Campus (2011 in Chūō-ku, Kobe. 34 ° 39 ′ 13.7 ″  N , 134 ° 13 ′ 12.1 ″  E ).

In March 2011, the university administration moved from the Kobe campus to the Kobe Gakuentoshi campus. The Graduate School for Applied Computer Science in the Kobe campus also moved to the Kobe Port Island campus.

The story of the three predecessors of the university is as follows:

Kobe (Prefectural) Trade University

State and Prefectural Commercial Universities Kobe

Until 1929, the state higher commercial school Kobe ( 神 戸 高等 商業 学校 , Kobe kōtō shōgyō gakkō , today: University of Kobe ) was a 4-year business school for young people aged 17 and over. The state school developed into the (state) trade university Kobe ( 神 戸 商業 大学 , Kōbe shōgyō daigaku , for youth from 19 years of age), so Hyōgo prefecture lost a public higher business school for youth between the ages of 18 and 19.

In the same year, the prefectural administration founded the prefectural higher commercial school Kobe ( 兵 庫 県 立 神 戸 高等 商業 学校 , Hyōgo-kenritsu Kobe kōtō shōgyō gakkō ). She served as the successor to the state higher commercial school. In 1944 it was renamed the Kobe Prefectural Business School ( 兵 庫 県 立 神 戸 経 済 専 門 学校 , Hyōgo-kenritsu Kobe keizai semmon gakkō ). In 1948 it developed into the (prefectural) trade university Kobe ( 神 戸 商科 大学 , Kobe shōka daigaku , not Kobe shōgyō daigaku ).

This was initially in Seiryōdai, Tarumi-ku , Kobe (Takamaru campus, 34 ° 38 ′ 46.1 ″  N , 135 ° 2 ′ 58.9 ″  E ). In 1990 she moved to today's Kobe Gakuentoshi campus.

Himeji Technical University

The Himeji Technical University was founded in January 1944 as the Prefectural Higher Technical School Hyōgo ( 兵 庫 県 立 高等 工業 学校 , Hyōgo-kenritsu kōtō kōgyō gakkō ). It was renamed in April 1944 in Hyōgo Prefectural Technical Center ( 兵 庫 県 立 工業 専 門 学校 , Hyōgo-kenritsu kōgyō semmon gakkō ). It was first located in Goinoike, Nagata-ku , Kobe ( 34 ° 39 ′ 53 ″  N , 135 ° 8 ′ 12.4 ″  E ) and had departments for mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and chemical engineering.

In May 1945 during the Pacific War it lost the school buildings, and in 1946 it moved to Idei, Himeji ( 34 ° 50 ′ 51.8 ″  N , 134 ° 41 ′ 53.8 ″  E ). There it developed into the Himeji Technical University in 1949.

Administration building on the Himeji Shosha campus

In 1950, she established the Short College Department, which became Himeji Short College in 1957 . It moved to what is now the Himeji Shinzaike campus in 1965. The place was the former campus of the Himeji High School ( 姫 路 高等学校 , Himeji kōtō gakkō ), one of the predecessors of the University of Kobe. In 1998, the college became the Faculty of Environmental and Human Sciences at Himeji University of Technology.

In 1970 the Technical University moved from the Idei campus to the Himeji Shosha campus. In 1990 she founded the Faculty of Natural Sciences; In 1991 the faculty moved to the new Harima Kōto campus near the SPring-8 synchrotron .
