Out Adult Nursing (a part of BSN course) is a course designed to provide the core clinical nursing theories/knowledge, attitudes and skills to lead future developments in nursing profession. Our students learn a wide range of health stages, from disease prevention, acute, chronic, recovery/rehabilitation to end-of-life.

In the master’s and doctoral programs, our students study course works, conduct research projects such as improvement of health status levels and QOL of people, development of better health care delivery system in collaboration with businesses, municipal governments and medical institutions. We also provide the Advanced Practice Nurse course, which is internationally promoted, to foster nurses specialized in chronic care nursing. Our unit expects nurses to prepare higher academic and advanced nursing skills. We are actively engaged in international programs and joint projects with other countries.
