There is a growing demand for the construction of a Well-Being society in which “wellness” can be felt.
In the Well-Being Program, by building on and strengthening the doctoral programs that the university has cultivated so far, we aim to produce doctoral candidates who can contribute to the development of science and the construction of a society that is safe, secure, and promotes lifelong health.

 

To this end, in addition to providing cross-disciplinary educational programs that include career development and the enhancement of individual competencies, we also provide the financial support necessary for continuing one’s studies, for advancing one’s research, and for overseas training.

 

We look forward to receiving applications from anybody who is aiming to go on to doctoral study.
