We aim to nurture people with research and leadership skills that can be applied in practice, and foster discipline of caring based on human dignity. In the Department of Nursing, “support for symbiosis” is defined as support for the symbiotic relationship between patients, their families, and the community. Based on the key term “support for symbiosis,” each specialty area conducts developmental and practical research related to higher-quality caregiving.
The program fuses knowledge from other disciplines with knowledge gained from nursing education, research, and clinical practice, and passes this knowledge on to the local and international community to cultivate individuals who can contribute to society. Students will create practical knowledge by reviewing their past experiences and examining the application of knowledge and theories from other academic fields to nursing science. Those involved in clinical practice will be active in hospitals, welfare centers, and other medical health and nursing institutions, while those involved in research and policy management are likely to be active in institutions, policy think tanks, educational institutions, and research institutes.
With the keywords “symbiosis,” in which various personalities live in mutual benefit, and “support” toward autonomy and independence, we train people who can apply the spirit of “for others, with others” and “human dignity” together with deep expertise.
The Department of Nursing emphasizes fieldwork as an educational method to hone practical skills and provide a sense of what is necessary for research.
Beginning in 2019, most courses are offered after 5:20 p.m. (some will be offered from 3:25 p.m.). We offer a long-term enrollment system so that students, including those working in clinical nursing, can balance their studies in a comfortable learning environment.
With an aim to foster human resources who acknowledge that human care is an academic discipline and are capable of engaging in practical research or assuming leadership, the Master’s Program in Nursing sets standards for the skills and knowledge students should acquire before graduation as described below: Those who fulfill the graduation requirements and pass their thesis defense shall be deemed to have acquired these qualities and will be awarded a diploma.
In accordance with the diploma policy, considering important issues in domestic and overseas healthcare trends, the Master’s Program in Nursing constructs its curriculum as follows, in order to pursue advanced and practical research related to high-quality caring focused on “inclusive support.”
