Let’s try to unlock the mechanisms of health. For example, it’s impossible to enjoy delicious food or a long-awaited trip if your physical condition is poor. Health is the very foundation of a person’s life.
Instead of struggling with ongoing health issues, it is important to take steps every day to maintain one’s physical condition. In the near future, the average lifespan is likely to increase due to advances in medical technology, and the value of health will rise even further. The Faculty of Health Science investigates and scientifically elucidates the mechanisms of health. It also helps create tomorrow's health and happiness.
The aim of the Faculty of Health Science is to build human relationships in which students value the spirit of harmony, and cultivate students who are healthy in body and mind, with a rich sense of humanity. These goals are achieved based on our university's founding spirit.
