Faculty of Social Work Studies
The Faculty of Social Work Studies has been reorganized by merging its Department of Welfare and Culture and Department of Welfare Management into a single Department of Social Work Studies, arranged into five courses of instruction that offer more technical learning. The Faculty of Social Work Studies provides powerful support in these instruction courses for the personal development and qualification acquisition of students as technical specialists.
At the Welfare Education Center, instructors with qualifications as social welfare counselors offer information and counseling for students in welfare on-site training, practice for the state examinations, and social welfare qualification lectures.
Learn social work over a wide range
Social work is not just something offered for a specific person, but is necessary and important for humanity as a whole. In order for each individual person to enjoy a better life, the welfare level of society as a whole needs to be raised. To ensure a comprehensive grasp of welfare, that thinking is broad and deep, and that specific responses can be taken, the Faculty of Social Work Studies is developing "social welfare specialists equipped with a high sense of ethics (heart), rich technical knowledge (wisdom), and firm execution ability (skill)."
Five courses meet the demands of a new age.
Decide on technical courses after arrival at the university! Toward the Sophomore year technical courses
The Freshman year is for obtaining a firm grasp of the basics that will be needed for studying the specialist courses in the Sophomore year and beyond.Choose from five courses of instruction in line with qualifications and specialization! * The child welfare course must be selected beginning in the Freshman year.
In the Freshman year, the knowledge and skills necessary for receiving a university-level technical education is internalized. In addition to basic seminars on how to study and write reports, courses in languages and media practice are also available.

Program examines the question of "What is social work" from the dual vantage points of human understanding and modern culture. Students learn about what it means to show respect for others, and what is the philosophy of understanding that is required when learning about welfare.
Social work and the social environment
Program examines what social work in society should be, what can be achieved, and specific activities. Students learn knowledge and skills that can be of use in implementing social work in local society.
Welfare policies and management
Program takes the management perspective to take a broader look at social work and examine how it is realized within society as a whole. Students learn about the policies, programs, and town planning related to social work.
The Department of Social Work Studies in the Faculty of Social Work Studies implements technical education in course units from the Sophomore Year onward. With the guidance of instructors, students select the courses of instruction based on learning goals (technical knowledge, technical training, or acquisition of state qualifications), career development, and aptitude, selecting and taking the technical classes needed.
