Kyorin University, Mitaka Campus

[EduCativ]

The founding spirit of Kyorin University is the Pursuit of Truth, Goodness, and Beauty. We pursue Truth through severe study and inquiry into the true nature and principles of our world. We pursue Goodness by nurturing empathy and good character built on a solid ethical foundation. Goodness means unwavering kindness and consideration and a desire to serve humanity. Kyorin University continues to uphold this founding spirit in all its educational and research activities.
In a world confronted by increasingly varied, complex, and serious issues, Japanese universities have a responsibility not only to provide a broad-based general education but also to produce the "citizens of the twenty-first century"—people with a strong sense of public duty and morality, who can play an active role supporting and building a better society adapted to our changing times.
The educational philosophy of Kyorin University is geared to answering this need by nurturing individuals of excellent character, committed to carrying on the Kyorin spirit—"Pursuit of Truth, Goodness, and Beauty"—who will make the most of their talents and abilities in the service of humanity and society.
We have two university campuses in Mitaka City. The Faculty of Medicine, Faculty of Health Sciences Department of Nursing, Nursing School, Graduate School of Medicine, and Kyorin University Hospital are located on the Mitaka Campus. The Faculty of Health Sciences, the Graduate School of Health Sciences, the Faculty of Social Sciences, the Faculty of Foreign Studies, and the Graduate School of International Cooperation Studies are located on the Inokashira Campus.
Approximately 1,000 teachers in total have commitments to teach, as well as working on their academic research. The total number of staff at our university is about 3,100, including those working in the University Hospital. Those teachers and staff are engaged in teaching at the university and medical service at the affiliated hospital.
In April of 2016, we opened our Inokashira Campus. All the buildings on this campus are seismically isolated structures for our students, staff, and faculty's safety in an earthquake or natural disaster. This campus serves as a Center of Knowledge and Information with its active learning system based on our students and faculty's dedicated study and research. We can call this campus a Center for the Globalization of Society as we produce future leaders who are undergoing a new intercollege education system and research within our classrooms and in our local communities.
The role that universities must serve in developing human resources to fit our society's current needs has been altered due to the development of information technology and its systems. The raison d'etre of Kyorin University is to raise the quality of education, research, and medical treatment to cope with these changing needs of society.
