In Japan, the University Co-operatives were mostly established after World War II. We support study, research, and campus life of both students and the faculty. We also contribute to the creation of attractive universities and the achievement of their missions. Overall individual members count 1.53 million, and the number of member students accounts for 40% of Japanese university students. Membership ratio in the university where University Coop is established is high, approx. 90%. As the national center, NFUCA promotes exchanges among member organizations beyond regional boundaries, coordinates businesses/activities, offers training, draws up and submits nationwide policies, conducts public relations and international relations, and negotiates with government.
In line with the demands of member co-ops, Business Associations take on joint purchase of food and other products, editing/publishing catalogs, proposals for business management, proposals for staff exchanges, management accounting and system design.
