1. It is our mission to turn out professionals who have attainment in nursing and related studies with the latest knowledge and skills, ethical judgment capacity, planning and evaluation skills and a global mindset to work in education and research.
2. We aim to develop individuals with the latest knowledge, specialized skills and clinical judgment in nursing practice who can address the challenges of ethical issues and the complexity of human health and assume leading roles to exhibit professional implementation skills.
3. For those aspiring to become an academic who teaches nursing, public health nursing or midwifery students at nursing education institutes, our master’s program in nursing is designed to help them develop a sense of inquiry and research skills through individual research projects and research supervision. Having acquired the basic capabilities, the students will advance their academic skills to proceed to further doctoral studies.

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 prospective students’ educational backgrounds and career path aspirations after degree completion into consideration 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 nursing primarily accepts graduates with a master’s degree in nursing. We endeavor to advance theory construction and systematization to address the challenges of meeting the ever-growing complexity and diversification of healthcare and nursing demands and provide human resources for the imaginative and creative development of nursing science.

The program’s purposes are:

1. To produce nursing administrators who are expected to undertake top management commitment of nurse executives responsible for the management and operations of healthcare and welfare organizations including hospitals.
2. To educate future nursing administrators in governments and healthcare organizations responsible for policymaking in healthcare and nursing to reinforce community health.
3. To develop educators to teach highly specialized knowledge, expert skills and initiative at nursing universities and graduate schools.
4. To train and provide researchers who can drive creative research in nursing science across nursing universities, graduate schools and research institutions.
