Add.: 1 Senbaru, Nishihara-cho, Nakagami-gun, Okinawa, 903-0213 Japan
The University of the Ryukyus is located in Okinawa, the
southernmost prefecture of Japan, and consists of seven faculties
and eight graduate schools. Okinawa, an island prefecture located in
the sub-tropics, has a unique ecosystem and distinct traditional
culture. It has a long history of establishing relationships with
other countries, and its thriving overseas trade in the period
between the 14th and 16th centuries is one such example. Such
exchanges have created a diverse and multicultural society in
Okinawa. In order to sustain and further develop such unique
features of Okinawa, the university promotes research in the fields
of island and marine environment studies, health and longevity
studies, and Ryukyuan/Okinawan cultural studies, all of which take
advantage of Okinawa’s regional characteristics. The university also
aims to nurture well-rounded individuals imbued with knowledge and
capabilities for social contribution on a global and regional scale.
As a university with local and global features,
the university has actively promoted international exchanges
with academic institutions overseas, especially in the Asian and
Pacific regions. To date, the university has concluded academic
exchange agreements with 114 institutions in 40 countries and areas
worldwide, resulting in a cosmopolitan and dynamic campus
environment with many international students from all over the
world.
