Mission: In accordance with the university’s founding principles, we will contribute to a prosperous and stable society by nurturing talented individuals who will create new value in a self-directed way, guided by a constant desire for the truth, by a worldview marked by self-discipline and a commitment to coexistence, and by a deep, globally oriented awareness of the challenges and missions that face our society in the new era.
Vision: Kanagawa University was founded in Yokohama, the city by the sea that became Japan's point of contact with the world. In an era in which diverse values coexist, our campuses offer personal interaction and cross-cultural rapport, interplay between knowledge and practice, and a melding of education and research. Through these, we provide learning that is truly attuned to the real world of the 21st century, and solutions to problems both local and global. We aim to be a university that attracts the world and disseminates our knowledge to the world.

The following data gives a quick reading on the scientific performance in the last years. The research ranking refers to the volume, impact and quality of the institution's research output. The innovation ranking is calculated on the number of patent applications of the institution and the citations that its research output receives from patents. Finally, the societal ranking is based on the number of pages of the institution's website and the number of backlinks and mentions from social networks.
The result of the evaluation of the institution can be compared to obtain a view of the country, the region to which it belongs and the institutions of the world, placing it in their respective positions.
We have divided the scientific output of the institution into 19 large areas of knowledge and the following table shows only the ranks in different territorial domains achieved by the institution in each of the areas. For an institution to have a presence in an area, it is necessary that it exceed in the last year a minimum output threshold equivalent to twice the percentage that this area represents in the world. If you need scientific indicators on these areas visit Scopus and/or SciVal.
