Curriculum Policy

Based on the Nightingale’s Theory of Nursing aspiring to the learning and practice of health for all people, our curriculum aims to develop nursing professionals who know the preciousness of life, enhance people’s vitality, work with the mind, and support the self-care and self-control of others. It is designed to foster a scientific perspective and enable students to acquire concepts and practical skills in a stepwise, integrated manner through experience.

We also adopt educational methods which promote students’ independent learning and create an environment increasing student achievement based on their needs. Evaluation criteria and course standards are furthermore stated clearly in the syllabus to ensure rigorous and objective grading.

1. To deepen students’ comprehensive understanding of humanity and cultivate a wide range of enriching liberal arts and the ability to make judgments when called for, our General Education Courses are designed for studying the natural, social, and cultural environment surrounding us as human beings.
2. The program includes Basic Professional Education Courses looking more deeply at the physical, mental, and social relationships of the human subjects of nursing and deepening understanding of these systems.
3.  Students learn the concepts and methods that form the foundation of nursing, view the subject of nursing as an individual human being leading a life as a family member in the community, and comprehend nursing expertise as positioned within a network of health promotion.
4. Clinical Practice and Comprehensive Courses are designed to integrate studies in General, Basic, and Professional fields of study while enhancing practical nursing skills and enabling students to pursue and develop their nursing learning throughout their lives. Additionally, for the purpose of garnering an international perspective, education geared toward cross-cultural understanding will be provided.
5. We educate students in cooperation across subjects and fields to foster an approach of pursuing the essence of things, to experience the meaning and enjoyment of working on problem solving, and to develop a future-oriented attitude toward research.
6. Based on interactive classes in which students learn through self-evaluations in light of achievement goals, classes are conducted through students participation in small group work and audiovisual materials and educational media. In the Professional Educational Courses, to promote independent learning, a system of self-study–group study–individual guidance–self-evaluation has been introduced.
