Faculties and Departments
The Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences provides “basic course subjects*” where all students gain an extensive understanding of theories and techniques pertinent to the health and medical sciences field as a whole.
With a focus on two specialty fields – basic medical science teaching an understanding of the human body and its mechanisms, and clinical medicine teaching the formation of illnesses and their treatments – students receive a cross-sectional education covering a broad range of disciplines, from psychology, which looks at the mechanisms behind the senses, perception and cognition, sport science, which is invaluable for the development of physical strength, and nutritional science, which involves the study of food and health.
Department of Medical Sciences, We approach language and hearing disorders, and the mechanisms behind such, from a broad set of perspectives, covering communication disorders, medical science, psychology, linguistics and much more throughout this course. Graduates who have obtained nationally-recognized speech language hearing therapist qualifications have gone on to work in a broad range of fields in medical, welfare and educational institutions across Japan.
Department of Medical Sciences, The Major of Vision Sciences provides a level of education not found elsewhere in Japan, having students study the principles of clinical medicine pertaining to visual functions and their disorders, and placing a focus on basic research in the visual sciences field. Graduates that have acquired nationally-recognized orthoptist qualifications can expect to work at healthcare institutions nationwide.
Department of Medical Sciences,Physical therapists work on healthcare teams to support everyone from young children and adults to the elderly. The profession requires expert rehabilitation skills and the ability to collaborate in diverse circumstances, and students are given knowledge that they can use not only in healthcare institutions, but with an additional focus on pediatric physical therapy, and community physical therapy.
Department of Medical Sciences,Medical laboratory scientists can make their mark on the future of medicine in all kinds of different ways. Students in this major will learn the skills they need to conduct clinical research and collaborate in diverse settings as part of medical teams. They will also develop the ability to engage with cutting-edge medical treatments while responding to the community health needs of increasingly graying society.
Department of Sports and Health Sciences, Students delve deeply into the intricacies of physical and mental health, studying from a broad range of disciplines that includes basic medical sciences, clinical medicine, mental health, nutritional science, physical education and sports science based on their own interests and goals for the future. With a rich education in medical care and an advanced level of practical skills, students are molded into generalists in the sports and health sciences field, capable of exhibiting their skills in a wide range of areas in society.
Department of Sports and Health Sciences, The Major of Emergency Medical Sciences goes beyond the acquisition of expertise and skills to offer practical learning through role play and training in the field. In doing so, it cultivates individuals with a voracious ability to absorb knowledge and technologies, who look at the results or person in front of them and constantly ask themselves whether there might be any other reasons for what they have found and whether they have been able to provide the very best treatment to those who are sick or injured. Courses are taught by faculty members who are qualified emergency life-saving technicians, fostering future emergency life-saving technicians equipped not only with the strength to save lives, but also the kindness required to understand and an empathize with the pain experienced by sick and injured people.
