Overview
Aichi University was established in 1946 and has 3 spacious campuses located across Aichi Prefecture in central Japan. Our campuses are located in Nagoya, Toyohashi and Kurumamichi (Nagoya City).
A private liberal arts university, we have 7 undergraduate faculties and junior college, 12 departments, and a graduate school consisting of 7 departments. There are also 9 specialist research centers.
Nagoya Campus
The Nagoya Campus is home to the Faculty of Law, the Faculty of Economics, the Faculty of Business Administration, the Faculty of Modern Chinese Studies, the Faculty of International Communication, and the Graduate School.
Nagoya is one of the major cities in the Chubu region. It is located in the Sasashima Live area, a 15-minute walk from Nagoya Station, the gateway to the city.
The campus provides an excellent learning environment with an efficient layout of all functions necessary for education, research, and extracurricular activities.
The main building (research building) is equipped with eco-voids. An efficient natural ventilation system utilizing prevailing winds has been installed to realize an environmentally friendly campus.
Toyohashi Campus
The Toyohashi campus is home to the Faculty of Letters, the Faculty of Regional Policy, the Junior College and the Graduate School.
Aichi University was established in Toyohashi in 1946, soon after World War II. Since then, there has been a tradition of accumulating academic and research achievements. Located in Toyohashi, where a variety of industries have grown, including advanced agriculture, fisheries, and the automobile and machinery industries, the campus preserves a rich natural environment that is ideal for academic research.
Kurumamichi Campus
The Kurumamichi campus is home to the law school.
At the Kurumamichi Campus, which is easily accessible from Nagoya Station, the Law School is committed to training highly-skilled professionals with two major principles: 1) to realize the principle of “rule of law” and 2) to serve as a “doctor in the social life of the people.
The university now has approximately about 10,000 students vigorously pursuing their interests in studies, research, culture, arts, and sports.

History:
History of Aichi University
Toa-Dobunshoin
Toa-Dobunshoin (later, Toa-Dobunshoin University), the forerunner of Aichi University, was founded in 1901 in Shanghai and has the distinction of having been the oldest Japanese overseas institution of higher education.
Its roots lie in the Toa-Dobun Association, founded by Atsumaro KONOE, who served at the time as the president of the House of Peers. The association sought to use academic and cultural work to further friendly ties between Japan and China, and it was to encourage the development of a pool of talent for this purpose that Toa-Dobunshoin University was founded.
Located in Shanghai, Asia's greatest international city at the time, the university nurtured students in a climate of academic freedom, imparting them with an awareness of international affairs that placed particular emphasis on China and Asia. Japan's defeat in World War Ⅱ led to the Chinese seizure of Toa-Dobunshoin University, signaling the conclusion of its half-century of history.
It was just as the university was forced to close its doors that Kiichi HONMA, who served as its last president (and later became the secretary general of the Supreme Court), resolved to establish a new university. In response to his summons, a large number of Toa-Dobunshoin University's staff and students gathered in May 1946, and on November 15 of the same year Aichi University was founded as the Chubu region's only old-style law and literature university. In April 1949, a Faculty of Letters (Sociology) was added to the Law and Economics Faculty (consisting of a Department of Law and a Department of Economics), transforming the university into a new-style school consisting of two faculties and three departments. The university has continued its development within this same basic organization to the present day.
Founded on the ideals of contributing to world culture and peace, training students with an international outlook, and contributing to its local community, Aichi University continues its effort toward the realization of ideals.
