Sustainability management at UKM was initiated in 2007 when the Development Unit of UKM prepared the Physical Campus Development Master Plan 2007-2020. This strategic plan was aimed to monitor the development plan to be sustainable in terms of infrastructure development, space requirements, environmental conservation, energy and solid waste management, landscape, campus facilities and cultivation of sustainable life. Beginning of 2021, UKM took the next step by embarking on the formulation of the UKM 2030 Strategic Plan for Sustainability. Centred around the theme of ‘Cultivating Sustainability for the Future,’ this strategic roadmap encompasses the period from 2021 to 2030 and revolves around five (5) key pillars: governance and management, teaching and learning, research and innovation, sustainable and wellness campus.

It is the sixth oldest university in Japan as the Osaka Prefectural Medical College, and one of Japan’s National Seven Universities.

The spirit of the university’s humanity sciences is believed to be intimately rooted in Kaitokudo, whereas that of the natural and applied sciences, including medicine, is widely believed to be based on Tekijuku.
Osaka University traces its origin back to 1869 when Osaka Prefectural Medical School was founded in downtown Osaka. The school was later transformed into the Osaka Prefectural Medical College with university status by the University Ordinance (Imperial Ordinance No. 388 of 1918) in 1919. The college merged with the newly founded College of Science to form Osaka Imperial University（大阪帝國大学） in 1931. Osaka Imperial University was inaugurated as the sixth imperial university in Japan. As part of the University, Osaka Technical College was later included to form the school of Engineering two years later. The university was eventually renamed Osaka University in 1947.
