The Power of Nursing in Creating the Future̶ Connecting Science and Heart through Learning
Thank you for visiting the Nursing Science Degree Program website.
The Evolving Potential of Healthcare and Nursing
Our world is rapidly changing. The advancement of AI technology, the expansion of personalized medicine, and the diversification of health perspectives̶ in this era, the possibilities for nursing continue to expand.
The shift from "treating patients" to "supporting entire lives," from "Cure" to "Care," represents the essence that nursing has always valued. In our program, we scientifically explore this value and develop it into innovative practice.
Your Questions Will Open the Future of Nursing
A distinctive feature of our program is an environment that values the question "why?" Insights from clinical practice and questions about social health issues become the driving force that evolves nursing science.
In the Master's Program, you will build the foundation to scientifically explore these questions. While systematically learning research methodologies in the Research Foundation Course, those in the Midwifery Training Course will develop advanced expertise that integrates evidence and practice. Through guidance tailored to your individual interests, we will help deepen your inquiries.
In the Doctoral Program, you will develop research that brings new horizons to nursing science. Through presentations at international conferences and writing papers in English, you will cultivate a global perspective.
