Message from the Dean of the Graduate School of Health Care Sciences

 Tokyo University of Science, as a new university combining strengths in medical and dental sciences and science and engineering, promotes education and research that bring together knowledge from multiple fields. Furthermore, in 2026, it will be recognized as an "International Excellence Research University," established by the government to achieve world-leading research universities, and it is advancing the construction of a research and education environment of the highest global standards.
 In an era of significant societal changes such as a declining population, the advancement of medical care, and the development of digital technologies, expectations for nursing, which supports the life and dignity of each individual, are increasingly high. To respond to these social demands, the Graduate School of Health and Hygiene aims to develop human resources who can contribute not only to the advancement of nursing but also to solving complex social issues and creating knowledge.
 At this graduate school, while strongly collaborating with nursing practice sites including the Nursing Department of Tokyo University of Science Hospital, we promote cooperation with multiple professions and fields, and develop cross-disciplinary learning and research. Moreover, to support each student’s challenges, the university also focuses on enriching international learning and research opportunities and establishing research support systems.
 From the 2026 academic year, under a new educational system, a midwifery education program will be launched, enhancing the development of human resources with both advanced practical skills and research capabilities. To respond to increasingly diverse and advanced health and medical needs, we will nurture human resources capable of flexibly taking on challenges based on expertise.
 The Graduate School of Health and Hygiene at Tokyo University of Science will continue to contribute to society and aim to become a hub for nursing that can be transmitted globally through education, research, and practice. We sincerely ask for your continued support and guidance.
