In 1897, Kyoto University became the second university founded in Japan. 

Within a decade, the school added programs in science, engineering, law, medicine, and humanities.

The university, which is divided among three campuses, now has 17 graduate schools, 14 research institutes, 21 research/educational centers, and 10 faculties.

Eight of the 22 Japanese Nobel Prize Laureates have been affiliated with Kyoto. 

The school is also home to two Fields Medalists, as well as Gauss Prize winners and recipients of the Japan Prize.
Kyoto University has also recently received several major donations. 

In 2007, Japanese entrepreneur Tetsuro Funai gave the school enough funding to establish the Tetsuro Funai Auditorium and the Funai Center.

 Just three years later, Canon gave the school $4.89 million for the Advanced Medical Device Development and Clinical Research Center. 

Currently, the school has a $2.2 billion endowment.  

 Kyoto University runs multiple research centers, including the Yukawa Institute for Theoretical Physics, the Research Institute for Mathematical Sciences, the Primate Research Institute, the Kosobe Conservatory, and the Seto Marine Biological Laboratory.
