Overview
Nagoya Bunri University is a private university in Inazawa, Aichi Prefecture, run by the Takikawa Gakuen school corporation.
Its roots lie in a nutrition training school opened in 1956, which became a junior college in 1966 before the university itself opened in 1999. Food, nutrition and information technology are the three themes that shape its teaching.
Undergraduate study is organised into the School of Health and Human Life, which contains the Department of Health and Nutrition and the Department of Food Business, and the School of Information and Media Studies, whose single department offers specialisations in information systems, video media, sound production and media design. The Health and Nutrition department prepares students for the national registered dietitian examination.
A graduate School of Health Informatics, combining information science with health science, opened in April 2025 and offers a master's course.
The university describes itself as open to adult learners and international students. Financial support includes entrance-examination scholarships, grants funded by the university and aid from the Japan Student Services Organization.
A junior college division and a nutrition vocational school operate under the same school corporation but are separate from the university.
