Undergraduate Studies in Sakado in Japan 2022

The division cultivates empathetic school nurses who build on a basis of specialist knowledge in health science and nutritional science to equip themselves with practical and teaching skills, acquiring the expertise to deal with issues relating to children’s maintenance of physically and mentally healthy lifestyles. Students acquire Class 1 licenses to work in kindergartens; elementary, junior high, or high schools; or special needs schools. According to a report in 2008 by Japan’s Central Council for Education, from now on school nurses in educational settings will be required to play central roles in promoting health-related activities in schools and to act as coordinators. Accordingly, the division offers courses focused particularly on needs in schools and cultivates human resources that can meet expectations within educational settings. Students can also acquire licenses as health studies teachers (in junior high and high schools) or as nursing teachers (in high schools). -

The division offers four courses (Clinical Laboratory Technology, Home Economics Teaching, Health & Sports Nutrition, and Food Safety Management), aiming to go beyond conventional nutritionist studies in food and nutrition to develop new types of a nutritionist who combine these conventional studies with additional studies in a specialist field. -
