Kobe University is a university with a long history. In 2022, this year, it will be celebrating its 120th anniversary since its founding in 1902 (Meiji 35). Currently, the school is one of Japan’s leading research and educational institutions with over 16,000 students in 10 undergraduate and 15 post-graduate programs, and is considered an institution of higher learning overflowing with initiative spirit and freedom based on the philosophy of “the harmonization of scientific principles and reality”. At Kobe University, there is a fine balance between the study of arts and sciences, and we have achieved positive performances for both. Also, there is hardly any wall that separates the studies between arts and sciences, and because of this, one of the university’s characteristics is its potential capacity to create new academic disciplines due to the integrated research between arts and sciences that are constantly pursued.The Graduate School of Health Sciences at the University of Kobe not only boasts a high number of Graduate School Master’s program students (54 in each year, 64 from 2019) and Doctoral program students (25 in each year) even by Japan’s standards but also takes pride in its high quality as a university that promotes research. In terms of its specialist disciplines, the Graduate School comprises the three main disciplines of Nursing, Rehabilitation Science, and Biophysics in addition to the integrated disciplines of Public Health. All our disciplines endeavor to cultivate the qualities of researches with rich specialist knowledge and abilities as well as creativity. From academic year 2016, we will also offer a course in which midwifery and health nursing qualifications can be acquired at the Graduate School, and will train medical specialist able of playing active roles in high-risk pregnancy and childbirth care or in health administration and international health organizations.Kobe University has established relationships with universities throughout the world. Within the Global Development Project conducted for four years from 2012, through partnership with the top five universities in the ASEAN region, we exchanged postgraduate students and researchers short and long-term, and strived to train global leaders for the next generation of health sciences in Asia. Since 2017, through partnership and cooperation with countries of the Pacific Rim, we have conducted a program for training global leaders in Health disciplines for the next generation. In both Japan and Asia, countermeasures against the declining birth rate and aging society is needed. Taking advantage of joint research networks constructed due to the partnerships with foreign universities, research institutions, and international institutions such as WHO, we are hoping to continue working on health and hygiene issues among Asian countries.In addition, for our English education, we have established the International Course for Health Sciences (ICHS) which allows students to complete master’s courses in English only, as we progress our support for globalization.Within the medical field, we strongly aspire to develop healthcare systems and medical devices using ICT in collaboration with the fields of engineering and information science. Since academic year 2013, we have offered coordinated lectures and promoted joint research with the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology. Also, in 2021, Kobe University established the Digital Medical Engineering Creation Science Course as a cross-disciplinary educational program across multiple graduate schools of Kobe University (Graduate School of Health Sciences, Graduate School of Medicine, Graduate School of Engineering, etc.). In addition, we are actively conducting joint research and development projects with companies and other organizations.Kobe University has been focusing on the pressing issue of dementia in an aging society. In 2018, with the Graduate School of Health Sciences at its center, it started the "Dementia Prevention Project" in a collaboration involving Kobe University as a whole by combining the efforts of the arts and sciences departments. In 2020, the Dementia Prevention Promotion Center was established in the Graduate School of Health Sciences.We will overcome the difficult situation caused by the new coronavirus, and with an eye on the post-coronavirus era, which is becoming more diverse, complex, and fluid, we will continue to pioneer more interdisciplinary and novel fields of research integrating the arts and sciences in order to train people who will clear the path for a new era.Degree Program.Master’s Degree ProgramDoctoral Degree ProgramMaster’s Degree ProgramMaster’s Degree ProgramDoctoral/Toshihiro AKISUE
