Kanazawa University ( Japanese: 金沢大学, romanized: Kanazawa Daigaku, abbreviated to Japanese: 金大, romanized: Kindai) is a Japanese national university in the city of Kanazawa, the capital of Ishikawa Prefecture. Founded in 1862, it was chartered as a university in 1949.
Kanazawa University is divided into two main campuses: Kakuma and Takaramachi. University enrollment is about 10,100 students, including 636 international students in 2021. [4]
The university was founded in 1862 as an institution for smallpox vaccination (種痘 所, Shutō-sho ) called Hikoso Vaccination Center (彦三種痘所, Hikoso shutōsho) which was established by the Kaga Domain. In 1876 it became a medical school from Ishikawa Prefecture. In 1887 it became the Medical Faculty of the State Fourth Higher Middle School (第四 高等 中 学校 医学 部, Dai-shi kōtō chūgakkō igakubu ) and then in 1894 to the Medical Faculty of the State Fourth High School (第四 高等学校 医学 部, Dai-shi kōtō gakkō igakubu ).
In 1901 it developed into the Kanazawa Medical College (Kanazawa Medical College, Kanazawa igaku semmon gakkō) and then in 1923 to the Kanazawa Medical University (Kanazawa Medical University, Kanazawa ika daigaku).
The prefectural and municipal governments wanted to keep Kanazawa Imperial University (the Medical School as their medical faculty); the state university was not realized before the Pacific War.
In 1949, Kanazawa University was formed through the merger of Kanazawa Medical School (金沢医科大学, Kanazawa ika daigaku) and five state technical schools:
Since then, Kanazawa University has been the leader of universities on the Sea of Japan. It has continuously and substantially contributed to the development of higher education in Japan as well as global promotion of research by offering undergraduate and graduate courses.
The former main building of the Fourth High School (built 1891), became The Fourth High School Memorial Museum of Cultural Exchange (石川四高記念文化交流館).
The main campus of Kanazawa University was first located in the former Kanazawa Castle. In 1989 the larger Kakuma campus was opened and in 1994 the headquarters moved to the new campus.
