The University's five campuses, Nishi-Chiba, Inohana, Matsudo, Kashiwanoha and Sumida Satellite are ideally located in Chiba Prefecture,[3] an area noted for its industrial, intellectual and international achievements.

Chiba University has achieved a high degree of participation in international cooperative research projects.

Chiba University presently has a large body of international research scholars and students studying on its various campuses.

It offers a diversity of programs ranging from introductory courses for absolute beginners, via multi-disciplinary subjects, to pioneering sciences and their applications for more advanced learners.

The history of Chiba University School of Medicine can be traced back as early as 1874, when its predecessor was founded as a private hospital by donations from the local community.

Since then, the Faculty has greatly contributed to the development of pharmaceutical sciences in Japan through education and research works.

Most of the academic staff in the Faculty are also fully responsible for research and education within the two-year Master's and the three-year Doctoral Programs in the Graduate School of Engineering.
