About Nihon Pharmaceutical University

Nihon Pharmaceutical University (NPU) is a private university in Japan, established in 2004. It trains students in integrated medicine, in which medicine and preventive medicine in the East and the West are combined, with the aim of putting integrated medicine into practice.

There are about 1,700 students and an academic staff of 200 members. International students are welcomed.

In 2011, NPU was reorganised into two departments: the department of pharmaceutical sciences, which offers six-year programmes on the Saitama campus in the town of Ina; and the department of pharmaceutical medical business sciences, which offers four-year programmes on the Ochanomizu campus in Tokyo.

The NPU Saitama campus offers three courses: Health Pharmaceutical Sciences, Kampo Chinese Herbal Medicine and Medical Pharmaceutical Sciences.

NPU Ochanomizu campus offers three courses: business pharmacy, information pharmacy and sports pharmacy. These courses aim to train students as health information managers with not only medical and pharmaceutical expertise but also business administration expertise.

Each first-year student is assigned a tutor as part of the support system to aid smooth adjustment to university life. They also keep close contact with students’ parents.

Education at NPU includes a correspondence education before admission, a basic achievement test after admission.

The Pharmaceutical Studies course is divided into Applied Pharmaceutical Studies I, for first- to third-year students, and Applied Pharmaceutical Studies II, designed to train fourth- to sixth-year students in computer based testing, the objective structured clinical examination and the national examination for pharmacists.
