The prefecture and the city have indicated that they will once build a one-corporation-two-university system through corporate integration, and then integrate the universities by 1.The name of the new corporation is "Public University Corporation Osaka".Currently, each university president also serves as the president of the corporation, but until the university integration, one president of the new corporation and each university will have a president and vice president of the corporation.

　However, the integration of universities requires the approval of related bills by the prefectural and city councils.The prefecture and city plan to submit related bills to the parliament after 2020.Osaka Prefecture University has 4 faculties and 7 graduate schools, including engineering and community health departments, and has 7,700 students.Municipal University has 8 faculties and 10 graduate schools, including medical school and law school, and has 8,200 students.If the integration is realized, it will surpass Tokyo Metropolitan University and create the largest mammoth public university in Japan with 1 students.

　Tetsuo Arakawa, President and President of Osaka City University, said on the university homepage, "The new corporation will operate Osaka Prefecture University and Osaka City University, and we believe that passing the bill will be one step toward university integration. I would like to work closely with them to prepare for it. "
