Our Purpose

At The University of Fukuchiayama, we are dedicated to being “a university for the citizens, a university for the region, and a university that progresses with the world.”

Guided by this vision, we collaborate with members of the local community to unlock opportunities. Together, our view is to create a vibrant region where people’s lives flourish.

We are establishing a talent circulation network in the northern part of the Kinki region, enabling students and professionals to reach their potential. Through community-collaborative educational and research initiatives, these individuals will contribute to the creation of new social value.

Our Vision

Our goal is to create a university that actively supports the local community while receiving its support in return. We strive to be a center of knowledge that contributes to building a sustainable local community. Additionally, we are committed to deepening and expanding practical ‘glocal’ educational and research initiatives, fostering strong connections between the local region and the world.

※Glocal educational and research: Education and research that connects local problem-solving with a broad perspective that encompasses the world.

Our Aspiration for Developing Talent

Committed to developing individuals who are ‘Glocalists,’ our university fosters strong local roots while encouraging global engagement. Students will develop a broad worldview and acquire the skills needed to actively address regional issues through ‘community-based education and research’ focused on the northern Kinki area. Additionally, they will embrace and appreciate diverse cultures and lifestyles. With a strong sense of ethics, graduates will be driven by a passion for building sustainable communities.

※Glocalist: A term formed by combining “Global” and “Local” with the suffix “ist”, which denotes a person. A Glocalist is someone who embraces both global and local perspectives.
