Kanagawa University is included in the list of Japanese universities whose degrees are recognized by the Ministry of Education of China.

Since its establishment more than 80 years ago, Kanagawa University has trained a large number of talents for all walks of life in Japan and enjoyed a good reputation in society. The abbreviation of university is "Shenda", which is also used in official website and has become a registered trademark. However, because the abbreviation is the same as Kobe University, it is generally called "Shennai University" in university sports meetings. The predecessor of Kanagawa University was the first institution of higher learning in Yokohama to offer evening classes. Before the Second World War, it was one of the few higher education institutions that introduced the local entrance examination and the system of paying students, which is still in practice today. The spirit of Kanagawa University is "simple and honest" and "aggressive". In terms of international exchange, we have reached mutual promotion agreements with many well-known universities such as Peking University, Tsinghua University, Fudan University, Zhejiang University, Taiwan Province Provincial University, Taiwan Province Provincial University of Science and Technology, Korea, Europe and America, and sent overseas students to each other every year to carry out academic research and scientific research activities.
