Campuses and Curricula for scholars to learn and research while working
More and more health and welfare specialists want to learn in a graduate school to gain advanced knowledge and skills while working. As the number is increasing year by year, our graduate school is trying to comply with the demand, setting up 6 campuses in Otawara, Aoyama in Tokyo, Odawara, Atami, Fukuoka Tenjin, and Fukuoka Okawa, with 2 satellite campuses in Kumamoto. Most classes are scheduled in the evenings and on Saturdays. In addition, our MS program for Clinical Psychology has been accredited as a Class 1 Graduate School by the Foundation of the Japanese Certification Board for Clinical Psychologists.
Distance Learning
A tele-communication system has been installed on the 6 campuses through which classes and seminars are conducted, inviting heated discussion between teachers and students. This distance- learning system can offer classes to every campus at the same time through television and computer screens.
Three New Courses for Cancer Treatment
These new courses are supported by the plan proposed by the Ministry of Education and Science “Training Scheme for Cancer Treatment Professionals.”
Jichi Medical University and IUHW have cooperated in proposing a new plan entitled “Practical Training Program of Cancer Treatment for Clients as Whole Men,” which was adopted by the Ministry of Education and Science as part of its plan mentioned above. Our goal is to foster top specialists with expertise in cancer treatment by activating Master’s and Doctoral programs: ”
