Osaka Metropolitan University

Osaka Metropolitan University (OMU) was formed in April 2022 by the merger of Osaka City University (OCU) and Osaka Prefecture University (OPU).

The merger brought together two institutions of similar age and size to form one of the largest public universities in Japan.

The new Morinomiya campus is due for completion in 2025. It will join the Sugimoto and Abeno campuses and Umeda satellite office, all formerly part of OCU, as well as Nakamozu, Habikino, and Rinku campuses and I-site Namba satellite office, all of which previously belonged to OPU. This plan is in the detailed design stage and is subject to change.

OMU has 11 undergraduate schools, a college, and 15 graduate schools. The undergraduate schools and college cover the subjects of agriculture, business, economics, engineering, human life and ecology, law, literature and human sciences, medicine, nursing, science, veterinary science, and sustainable system sciences. In addition to these subjects, the graduate schools also include informatics and urban management.
