Enriching Your “Humanity” through Comprehensive Learning
Chubu University’s campus is located on a hill in Kasugai overlooking the Nobi Plain, with convenient access and an abundance of nature in the surrounding area. It is an ideal environment to devote oneself to one’s studies. Even more important is that concentrated here is a deep and broad learning experience. Eight colleges and six graduate schools cover arts, sciences, medicine, and education, while promoting education and research necessary to unravel important issues facing our society, such as international society and business, diverse flora and fauna, life and health, modern childcare and education, AI and data science, and media information. It is my hope that our students, as the generation that will take lead of the future, will cultivate both perspective and expertise in their respective fields.
Engaging with diverse disciplines in addition to studying one’s specialized field provides the pleasure of learning the achievements of human wisdom and also serves as a source of strength for navigating the future. It provides a basis for looking at things from multiple perspectives, including economic, social, legal, psychological, engineering, and life sciences. Since many social issues are multi-layered and complex, this will lead to the ability to look beyond academic and professional boundaries and disentangle issues from multiple perspectives.
Chubu University promotes student exchange activities, study abroad, and joint research with overseas universities. Opportunities to gain international perspectives and experiences, both on and off campus, are increasing. We also offer programs for working professionals. On a campus where a diverse range of people gather to learn, converse, and strive together for mutual improvement, students can cultivate a rich sense of “humanity.” In conclusion, I hope that students will rise as truly “reliable individuals,” as envisioned by our founder, Dr. Kohei Miura, and pave the way for both society and their own future. Chubu University will provide the environment and time necessary to do so.
