Fuji Women's University, Sapporo Campus

[EduCativ]

Fuji Women's University has been fostering human resources as the only four-year University specifically for women in the Hokkaido region; Our University is an educational institution for women, basically inspired by a Catholic spirit, but, of course, it respects the freedom of faith and belief.

The University was initially developed from Fuji Women's High School in 1925, an establishment started by the first parish chief of the Sapporo Catholic diocese, Bishop Wenseslaus Sold. Realizing that the enhancement of women's education was needed for the future development of Hokkaido, the Bishop requested that his native Germany send educators, receiving as assistance three Sisters of Francis of the Martyr St. George.

Subsequently, in 1992, the Faculty of Human Life Sciences was established, and in 2000 the Junior College was abolished, leading to the current system of two faculties and six departments. In 2002 a graduate program began with the opening of the Graduate School of Human Life Sciences and the training of highly specialized professionals.

Fuji Women's University has been faithful to the intention, founded from a Christian perspective and a realistic human view, to follow these principles through holistic higher education, to foster women of intellect and humanity to live in love and service to broader society.

In the spirit of Catholicism, to pursue goodness, truth, and beauty through research and education and also intend to form the real human focused on the following things.

• Piety
• Freedom with responsibility
• A spirit of tolerance and love
• To contribute and serve society
• To contribute to international understanding and peace

To achieve the principles and purposes of others, such as Admission policy, Diploma policy, and Curriculum policy.

As a Catholic women's college, our purpose is to offer a place where our students can develop their humanity and pursue truth, goodness, and beauty through education and research.

We believe that people are irreplaceable beings, loved, and kept alive by God. Acting upon this belief, we nurture fertile minds to seek an international point of view, recognizing universal values such as love, freedom, justice, and peace, while at the same time fostering an appreciation of ourselves and others.

As they develop and polish themselves, our students interact to stimulate each other's intellectual curiosity with love and respect. Our faculty members value their relationship with the students, both in their teaching and in their research.

Fuji Women's University hopes that our students will learn to open their minds to contemplate matters of worldwide concern and graduate to become members of a workplace or a family and members of the global society.
