Master’s level

We are primarily committed to strengthening the human resources development of medical technologists with a healthcare bachelor’s degree.

1. The master’s degree program in health sciences accepts clinical radiologists and clinical laboratory technologists. It is our mission to turn out highly specialized technologists who have integrated ‘basic-to-clinical’ knowledge and expert skills in new radiation diagnosis and therapy systems and clinical laboratory systems, the persons in leadership roles in highly advanced technologies and those up for a research job in new medical technologies and development research in healthcare systems.
2. We aim to further develop physical therapists and occupational therapists into advanced health professionals of great attainments with cutting-edge knowledge, expertise and problem-solving and challenge-seeking skills in rehabilitation science-based disciplines such as physical therapy and occupational therapy.
3. We accept dietitians and health fitness instructors who have an immediate interest in healthcare and health sciences and seek to practice Evidence-Based Healthcare (EBH) to help them gain knowledge of medicine and medical laboratory technology in order to work with other medical personnel.
4. For those aspiring to attain professional qualifications certified by academic societies, our degree program gives students supervised work experience as the initial training leading to professional qualifications in partnership with healthcare education institutes such as university hospitals.
5. It is also our mission to help those who aspire to become researchers of technological innovation or educators of advanced healthcare professionals develop a sense of inquiry and research capacities through individual project studies and research supervision, and subsequently acquire competence to advance to a doctoral degree program.

Doctoral level

Our doctoral degree programs aim to:

• Gain insight into the rapidly shifting problems for healthcare and the challenges in the untapped areas of highly advanced medical technology;
• Pursue research agenda autonomously with a new perspective and unique ideas;
• Communicate research outcomes to the wider global research community leveraging initiative and leadership skills to contribute to the health sciences discipline’s establishment and advancement; and
• Produce healthcare administrators, researchers and educators who are engaged to pass a high level of expertise and skills on to following generations.

We take account of prospective students’ educational backgrounds and career path aspirations after degree completion to facilitate course enrollment following our educational goals. As with the master’s level, our graduate school is home to two doctoral degree areas of study, health sciences and nursing, with their curricula respectively tailored for specialized domains.

The doctoral degree program in health sciences accepts advanced healthcare professionals with a master’s degree and master’s degree holders in related academic disciplines such as dietetics and sports science and implements human resources development.

The degree program strives to:

1. Ensure that qualified clinical radiologists and clinical laboratory technologists will be prepared to work as research & development personnel or managing supervisors of advanced radiation diagnosis and therapy systems, next-generation diagnostic imaging and clinical laboratory systems.
2. Produce researchers and healthcare administrators out of qualified physical therapists and occupational therapists focused on advanced study and technological development in rehabilitation science.
3. Educate advanced healthcare professionals of any field to become researchers engaged in groundbreaking clinical studies and basic research to contribute to health promotion and health maintenance and enhancement.
4. To train dietitians and health fitness instructors to provide researchers who will be involved in research and development in their fields of expertise including medicine, healthcare and health sciences.
5. Develop educators who teach highly specialized knowledge and expert skills in undergraduate and graduate education in healthcare and related studies and keep the academic flame alight to pass down the science and study of health.
