INTRODUCTION

 

Graduate Course for Well-being Sciences

Aiming to educate highly skilled professionals and researchers with truly advanced expertise and research capabilities, this course will cultivate the ability to scientifically analyze social issues and translate them into practice based on the three pillars of social policy, social work, and health and social care. In addition, this course will actively promote approaches that incorporate the perspective of data science.

In the field of human welfare studies, we conduct education and research using an interdisciplinary approach to various life issues that arise as people lead social lives and social issues related to livelihood security.

The investigation and response to issues related to human welfare in a society with a declining population, a super-aging society, and a society with disparities is not possible only with science and theory in specific fields, but requires interdisciplinary efforts. In this field, we will respond to the needs of society by providing education and research programs that deepen a systematic understanding of various issues and deal with them in a comprehensive manner, from the elucidation of the mechanisms and causes of their occurrence to the development of technologies, methods, and measures necessary for solving these issues. In addition, we will cultivate professionals and researchers capable of addressing these challenges.

We will provide graduate students with opportunities to organize and systematize their own practices academically and to evaluate them objectively, thereby supporting advanced professional growth and lifelong learning.
