CURRICULUM／Chiba Prefectural University Of Health Sciences

MESSAGE FROM THE DEAN

In Japan, the aging of society is progressing rapidly, and the development of medical and nursing care systems has become an important issue. As the social environment surrounding health care changes dramatically, there is a demand for human resources that can respond to diverse needs. Our university offers a curriculum that allows students to learn independently and provides an excellent environment where students can advance while competing with their peers through group training. Our faculty staff will work together to support each student so that they can achieve their future aspirations and goals. We hope that you will become part of a human resource that can contribute to improving the health of the community while collaborating with other healthcare professionals.
