Introduction :
Hokkaido University was founded in 1876 as Sapporo Agricultural College and gained its current name in 1947. We are a comprehensive university with 12 undergraduate schools, 21 graduate schools and 23 research institutes/centers with about 18600 students from over 90 countries/regions, and about 2100 academics. We have two campuses in Hokkaido, the northernmost island of Japan: the 1.7 square kilometer main campus in Sapporo, the 5th largest city, and the other in Hakodate City. We have been promoting internationalization through various programs such as Nitobe College and Hokkaido Universal Campus Initiative.
