Gifu University is a medium-sized national university corporation based in Gifu, a historical city located geographically in the center of Japan. Although it began in 1949 with two faculties – the Faculty of Education and the Faculty of Agriculture – the university has expanded to include three other faculties : the Faculty of Engineering the School of Medicine and the Faculty of Regional Studies. In 2004 the Faculty of Agriculture was restructured into the Faculty of Applied Biological Sciences.

We have approximately 800 teaching staff, including 294 professors and 800 medical, technical and administrative staff. There are approximately 6,000 undergraduate and 1,600 graduate students. In addition, 62 international undergraduate and 255 international graduate students are currently studying at our campus.

Faculty

Total number of academic faculty staff who are responsible for planning, directing and undertaking teaching only, research only or both teaching and research. Please include: vice-chancellors, deputy vice-chancellors, principals, professors, heads of school, associate professors, principal lecturers, tutors or postdoctoral researchers. Please exclude research assistants*, PhD students who contribute to teaching, and exchange scholars or visiting faculty staff who are members of another university. * The important distinction for us is that staff counted as 'research only' should be academically involved in that research and should be likely to publish research outputs. A research assistant, in our understanding, is any individual who is not doing own research and is therefore not likely to publish own research outputs. Said individual is (only) involved in research in terms of operation execution , such as lab technician or equipment operator.
