Hiroshima University, located in Hiroshima, Japan, is a prestigious national university that was established in 1949 through the merger of several educational institutions. It’s known for its commitment to fostering peace and global citizenship, a reflection of its location in a city profoundly affected by the atomic bomb in 1945. The university offers a wide range of undergraduate and graduate programs across numerous faculties, including education, law, economics, science, medicine, and engineering. It is also involved in extensive research activities and has established several research institutes focused on topics such as radiation biology and peace science. Hiroshima University continues to play a significant role in global academic and cultural exchanges, promoting peace and sustainable development.
