Instructors with Extensive Experience across a Wide Range of Fields Are Waiting for You.

Japan is experiencing an ageing population and depopulation, leading to a greater demand for health-care professionals, especially in rehabilitation and lifestyle disease. One of these fields is nursing, especially highly-trained nurses with the expertise to respond with advanced medical skills. In addition, demand for speech therapists will increase not only in medical institutions but also in welfare facilities, and personnel that possesses knowledge of health and sports sciences and basic medical science will be required by various organizations, including companies, medical institutions and administrative agencies. The Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences develops these specialists through the Department of Nursing, Department of Speech and Hearing Sciences and Disorders and Department of Health and Sports Sciences. Functional education facilities and instructors with extensive experience across a wide range of fields are waiting for you. We look for students who are motivated to make a difference and lead in the fields of medicine, welfare and sports.
