Kagoshima Immaculate Heart University

[EduCativ]

Kagoshima Immaculate Heart University is a new university for women that opened on April 1st, 1994. We take an interdisciplinary, holistic approach to education based on the underlying principles of Christian humanism. This university has a graduate school of Human Science, specializing in Clinical Psychology, and two faculties: the Faculty of International Human Studies and the Faculty of Nursing and Nutrition. Kagoshima Immaculate Heart University is located in Satsumasendai City in Kagoshima Prefecture, situated in the southernmost part of Kyushu, one of the four main islands that make up Japan. Kagoshima Prefecture has long been a doorway for the intake of innovation from overseas. The people of Kagoshima are well known for their enterprising spirit.
Inspired by the Christian belief that each person has an irreplaceable value and role in this world, Kagoshima Immaculate Heart University wishes to be an academic community where staff and students work together to discover each person's intellectual potential and develop it into a well-trained and mature personality.
The Graduate School of Human Science aims at producing highly-qualified researchers in clinical psychology through its master's program, who can also offer, as well-trained specialists, appropriate and adequate support in various fields such as education, medical services, and mental health care in the industry.
The Faculty of International Human Studies has two different fields, language and culture studies and an interdisciplinary study of childhood and youth, which are both fundamental in dealing with the modern world's problems. Nursing and Nutrition are vital to enhancing the quality of life for all people, whatever their physical condition.
Recent incidents throughout the world convince us of the urgent need for mutual understanding and tolerance between peoples of different racial and cultural backgrounds. The best and most natural way to achieve this is, of course, through direct contact taking place in conducive circumstances. Study overseas at Kagoshima Immaculate Heart University provides this opportunity in the most suitable environment.
Kagoshima has a long tradition of positive attitudes towards other cultures, and the overseas students of our university are well received by the local people here in Satsumasendai City.
Knowledge should lead to love through understanding. Our university is dedicated to Our Lady's Immaculate Heart, full of the love of God and humankind. Under her graceful guidance, let us prepare ourselves to play whatever role is expected of us in the present society to restore peace and harmony in our world.
Being a small, closely-knit community, Kagoshima Immaculate Heart University has ample opportunities for a full and active social and sporting life. The university has a well-equipped sports hall. Clubs include tennis, volleyball, and badminton. There are also various cultural clubs featuring traditional Japanese activities such as flower arrangement, tea ceremony, and Kimono-dressing.
