Chiba Prefectural University of Health Sciences is an up and coming public university, continually adapting to the changing issues in health sciences. Chiba Prefectural University was established in April 2009 due to the groundbreaking merger of the long-established Chiba College of Health and Science with the former Chiba Prefectural College of Allied Medical Sciences. The current four-year undergraduate university has since celebrated six classes of outstanding students, boasting an enrollment of 740 students at its two fully-equipped campuses.
We are committed to foster skilled professionals to promote the health and well-being of the communities we serve. We aim to foster those who have mastered professional knowledge and the highest level of trained skills. We value nurturing well-rounded individuals to become the best human resources in the field, with an ethical standard to adapt and actively contribute to the healthcare system in a changing global atmosphere. Our selective program only admits 190 students per year, including ten candidates to the Nursing Department's third year.
Chiba Prefecture is undergoing a drastic demographic shift resulting in rapid growth in the aging population. However, the number of healthcare workers trained to cater to local demands is insufficient. The university is committed to providing a service to the community by countering the healthcare labor shortage with the highest possible care level. In 2025, when the post-war baby boomers reach 75, nearly 20 percent of the population will be over 75 years old. We see it as part of our mission to play a significant role in educating and training skilled professionals to promote health and continued care to the elderly.
Our students are the future of these new medical and care-giving challenges. We believe that they will be responsible and dependable in their mission to support the senior communities they serve, providing the highest level of care in treating their chronic illnesses. Our graduates will exercise their training in critical thinking and problem-solving skills while demonstrating their freedom of idea exchange to address patients' individual physical and mental needs thoughtfully.
The Faculty of Health Sciences aims to prepare highly competent, well-rounded healthcare professionals with high ethical standards and excellent communication skills, providing thorough healthcare services with the most sincere and warm intentions. Furthermore, as an open and accessible university, we vow to collaborate and interact with people, to foster the willingness to serve the local community, including Chiba Prefecture as well as the lifelong learning system, in order to solidify our commitment to contribute to the advancement of healthcare in a global society.
The university curriculum is challenging, with a heavy workload covering many topics and skills to reach a high academic standard. Upon completing the course curriculum studies and practical training requirements at Chiba Prefectural University of Health Sciences, the graduates will gain confidence in their abilities and feel pride in their dedication to their field and university.
