The Siebold University of Nagasaki carries on in the spirit of Siebold's
Narutaki Academy which helped in the modernization of Japan.The university
was founded in April 1999 as the first national and/or public university
in Japan to be named after a foreign national.The university also inherits
the tradition of the Nagasaki Prefectural Women's Junior College that was
once located near the Narutaki Academy.
Historically and geographically,Nagasaki Prefecture is Japan's gateway
to Asia and an important window on the rest of world.The Siebold University
of Nagasaki aims to reflect the appropriateness of Nagasaki as a place
where modern Japan began.Our hope is for a continuing contribution to the
promotion of academic study and cultural progress in this culturally and
historically important region.
