Graduate Programs in Nursing Sciences at the Graduate School of Comprehensive Human Sciences of the University of Tsukuba

The objective of the Doctoral Program in Nursing Sciences is that students, who acquired solid practical thinking as specialist during the Basic Requirements for Doctorate Program, become researchers, educators or nursing administrators able to organize themselves their pedagogic and research methods underlying the creation of knowledge and technological development.

As our Doctoral Program in Nursing Sciences is aiming at creating new academic fields, the curriculum has been organized into a unique area (Nursing Sciences) so as not to be tempted to restrict to existing nursing fields. This has facilitated the fact that the student will be guided in education and research by a number of teachers related to the major or nearest field and others. Also, we endeavor to provide a guidance, in which both theoretical and practical skills are increased, by giving many opportunities for peer review among students of all levels and by keeping always in mind your practical field for special studies.

Besides, Doctoral Program is definitely the period to write the doctoral dissertation but we also aim at cultivating solid pedagogic power. In other words, we help the students to acquire pedagogic method and skills necessary to improve their pedagogy by enrolling the TA (Teaching Assistant) and TF (Teaching Fellow) system as a preparation for graduate students wishing academic positions.

Come and build your unique career backed with our school educational environment and pedagogic power.
