is a national university in Ōita, Ōita Prefecture, Japan. It was established in 1949, and in 2003 absorbed Oita Medical University, which had been established in 1976.[1] The university offers courses in economics, education, engineering, international studies, and medicine.[3]
The university provides an international program with two strains: IPOU an NIHO: the former for Japanese speakers below a certain skill level; the latter for those with a level of Japanese that would permit them to follow a normal Japanese curriculum. As well as the mandatory Japanese lessons, students can take courses related to Japanese history, popular culture, and subject specific courses including Economics and Linguistics.[4]
