In 1931, the Osaka Imperial University was founded, the School of Science was established together with the School of Medicine. Now, we are one of the largest and most important faculties in the University of Osaka. We have 6 graduate departments, 4 undergraduate departments, 230 full-time academic staff, 1,200 undergraduates and 800 graduate students.

We are guided by the words of Dr. Hantaro Nagaoka the first President of the Osaka Imperial University and the prominent physicist, “Souhaku wo Namuru Nakare” (Be always creative). Many researchers, treasuring that phrase, are carrying out original and cutting-edge researches, and are making an effort to maintain a calm and free atmosphere in which to develop research and education.
