Tohoku University

Since its establishment in 1907, Tohoku University has always emphasized the three principles “Research First”, “Open Door” and “Practice Orientation”. Many brilliant students graduated in its 111 years’ history and we are proud to say, that our research achievements had and continue to have a substantial impact on both the academic world as well as the global community. The continued collaborations and innovations are a major reason for our selection as one of the first three Designated National Universities by the Japanese government in June 2017.
