Osaka University of Commerce

After WWII, many new businesses sprang up in Osaka area, and the most developed city amongst them was Higashi-Osaka.

Established at its center, Osaka University of Commerce began from the desire to nurture talented individuals who will both take up new challenges and be of benefit to the world.

OUC is based on the following four pillars:"Kindness and courtesy", "Fundamental practical learning", "Flexible thinking", and "Enjoyment of life".
Among these, it is the last one, "Enjoyment of life", that expresses the university's most distinctive feature. It embodies our idea that individuals who will be truly beneficial to the world at large must first be happy themselves. Those who continue to feel a sense of challenge and who can enjoy tackling issues through positive thinking, even while experiencing difficulty and failure, they are the winners in life. It is my hope that all our students will be able to acquire the spirit behind this "Enjoyment of life".
