Located in Uppsala, Sweden, Uppsala University is the oldest university in Scandinavia. It was founded in 1477. It was temporarily closed due to religious strife at the end of the 16th century, but was re-established as a Protestant university in 1595. It developed particularly during the reign of Gustavus Adolphus II in the early 17th century, when it established itself as one of Europe's leading universities. In the 1960s, Sweden underwent university reforms, with efforts being made to regionalize universities and make admissions policies more flexible, but Uppsala University has always maintained a conservative stance. As a result, it has been overtaken by Stockholm University and Lund University in terms of size, but in terms of research level it remains at the top of the country. As of 1999, the university has seven faculties: the Faculty of Theology, which has existed since the medieval era, the Faculty of Law, the Faculty of Medicine, the Faculty of Letters (Historical Philosophy, Linguistics), the Faculty of Social Sciences, the Faculty of Science and Engineering (Mathematics, Physics, Biology, Earth Science, Chemistry), and the Faculty of Pharmacy. It also has an internationally renowned Earthquake Research Institute as an affiliated facility. There are approximately 1,800 faculty members and 28,000 students.

スウェーデンのウプサラにある北欧最古の大学。創立は1477年にさかのぼる。16世紀末には宗教上の抗争により一時閉鎖されたが、1595年プロテスタント系の大学として再興された。とくに発展をみたのは17世紀初頭のグスタフ・アドルフ2世治下であり、ヨーロッパ一流の大学の地位を築いた。1960年代にスウェーデンでは大学改革が行われ、大学の地域化、入学政策の弾力化が図られてきたが、ウプサラ大学はつねに保守的立場をとってきた。そのため規模の面ではストックホルム大学やルンド大学に追い越されているが、研究水準の面では同国の最高峰にある。 1999年現在、学部構成は、中世大学以来の神学部と、法学部、医学部、文学部(歴史哲学、言語学)、社会科学部、理工学部(数学、物理学、生物学、地球科学、化学)、薬学部の7学部である。付属施設として国際的に著名な地震研究所がある。教員数約1800人、学生数約2万8000人。 [馬越 徹] 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
