Welcome to the Faculty of Human Sciences

Dean of Faculty of Human Sciences
Educating people who support people is our key initiative at the Faculty of Human Sciences. What kind of people or jobs does the phrase "people who support people" remind you?
At the Faculty of Human Sciences, we have set mind, body, and society as the three key areas of learning for supporting people.
What you learn in the area of mind is psychology. Knowledge and theories about the human mind will be useful in not only gaining and maintaining your own mental balance but also interacting and communicating daily with people and supporting others.
What you study in the area of body include sports science and health science. Knowledge on human body and exercise not only supports athletes aiming to be more competitive and increase their physical strength but also contributes to good health of many people, from children to senior citizens.
What you learn in the area of society are collectively called sociology. It covers a broad range of topics, including local communities, social issues, welfare, and culture. Discussing human relationships and society where you live will broaden your world and enrich your life.
A wide variety of classes are available in the three key areas. There are no boundaries between the classes, and students are free to take them according to their interest or objective. They can gain multilateral, comprehensive understanding of human beings from three perspectives of mind, body, and society. This is the feature of the Faculty of Human Sciences.
Giving lectures is not all we do. We are proactive in providing experience-based learning opportunities, including group work, experiments, drills, and hands-on practice. We also provide many opportunities for practical learning outside the campus, taking advantage of our location in the center of Tokyo.
At high school and lower schools, all students probably move in the same direction to reach the same solution in many cases. However, there is no single answer in what you learn at the Faculty of Human Sciences to support people. It is you yourselves who are to decide what kind of people to support in what ways and what learnings to accumulate for your purpose.
We faculty members will support and guide your learning so that each one of you can move toward your goal with peace of mind.
What kind of people who support people do you want to become?
