Curriculum

The curriculum of nursing studies is based on four pillars, namely, “people,” “health,” “environment,” and “nursing.” At the College of Nursing, students will review the role of nursing in relation to people’s lives through the prisms of environment and life. The curriculum offers students opportunities to learn with people from different disciplines such as medicine, psychology, and sociology, in order to widen their perspectives and deepen their technical knowledge while clarifying the autonomous nature of nursing studies. Basic technical subjects are based on the following three pillars: “science of the mind and behavior,” “human and life science,” and “studies for providing support for daily living.” Students will learn the diversity and varying values of people.

Technical subjects are composed of “introduction to support for activities of daily living,” “science of nursing practice,” and “applied nursing studies.” Subjects related to the exploration of nursing as well as elective subjects in public health nursing and school nursing are also available. Through the subject “introduction to support for activities of daily living,” students will acquire basic nursing skills through practicum sessions while learning nursing theories such as bioethics in nursing, physical assessment, and the theory of support for activities of daily living. Through the subject “science of nursing practice,” students will learn theories and practical skills in areas including: community nursing, adult nursing, psychiatric nursing, geriatric nursing, maternity nursing, and pediatric nursing. Through the subject “applied nursing studies,” students will learn home-based nursing, international public health, and research methods. Moreover, in medical team joint practicums (care colloquia), students will learn team-based care together with those from other schools who are studying medicine and other areas related to healthcare and social work.
