Nagoya University of Commerce & Business

The founder of NUCB, Dr. Yuichi Kurimoto, was the first Japanese person to graduate from the University of Alberta in 1930. After graduating, he returned to Japan with the vision of making education accessible to the disenfranchised youth of the time.

Following the post-war economic and population boom in the 1950s, he established the Nagoya University of Commerce and Business.

Over the last 80 years, the university has become known worldwide as a premier educational institution.

NUCB was the first undergraduate institution in Japan and one of only 5% of schools worldwide to achieve the much sought after AACSB accreditation.

Our main campus, Nisshin Nagakute, is set in the beautiful Nisshin countryside just outside of Nagoya City where we have almost 3,000 students and over 100 faculty.

We are the only university in Japan to offer a BBA degree taught 100% in English. We also have a downtown campus located within walking distance from Nagoya station where we teach solely using the Case Method.
