Yamanashi Prefectural University is a public university in Kofu, Yamanashi, Japan. The university was established in 2005 as a result of merger of Yamanashi College of Nursing and Yamanashi Women's Junior College. "Yamanashi Prefectural University welcomes the community and strives to contribute to vibrant advances through its “glocal” wisdom, the wisdom that combines global and regional perspectives. As globalization expands rapidly, each local community today must tackle issues such as worsening environmental problems, diversifying of market fundamentals, and deciphering the advantages and disadvantages of technology, with a global point of view. Glocal innovation and creativity is essential to enrich our lives, so in addition to basic studies, we also place importance on the practical study of policies to tackle current, regional issues in consultation with local experts in the prefecture.
