About Fukushima University
Located in Kanayagawa, Fukushima City, Fukushima Prefecture, Fukushima University is one of the leading universities in Japan. It was formed in 1949 by combining three pre-existing colleges: Fukushima College of Economics, Fukushima Normal School and Fukushima Youth Normal School. Today, it’s home to nearly 5,000 students.
Initially, only Liberal Arts and Economics subjects were taught at the university. However, the range of teaching has expanded over time and today students can enroll to study in one of five undergraduate faculties or four graduate schools.

The city is particularly known for the high number of onsen (Japanese hot springs used as bathing facilities) around its outskirts and for being the location of the only Japan Racing Association horse racing track in the Tōhoku region of Japan.

Notices
Inclusion in a QS ranking or QS Stars rating or publication on a QS platform/site does not constitute a statement by QS that an institution's qualifications are recognised for academic, professional, regulatory or immigration purposes in every jurisdiction. Students should check the recognition status of a qualification with the relevant national or professional authority in the country where they intend to study or work.
The country/territory designations used across QS rankings, ratings and platforms exist to present and compare higher education data clearly and consistently. They do not express any QS position on sovereignty, recognition, legal status or international boundaries. Where it helps users interpret the data, QS may group institutions according to the higher education system in which they operate, which in most cases corresponds to a country, but not always. Where questions of status or designation arise, QS uses terminology appropriate to the higher education context.
