he Faculty of Health and Sport Sciences seeks to contribute to the development of scientific culture through comprehensive promotion of basic and appliedresearch in a wide range of academic fields from the natural sciences to the humanities and social sciences as they concern physical education and sport movements
while monitoring results in other fields. The Faculty also seeks to respond to modern social demands. The University of Tsukuba has offered Olympic studies classes
as an academic course since 2003. Instructors include not only university faculty members, but also an IOC vice president, a JOC president, an IOC Sport andEnvironment Commission member, a sport photographer, NHK personnel, and Olympians who were invited to give lectures from their unique perspectives on thecultural diversity of the Olympics and future issues concerning the Olympic movement. The total number of persons who have taken Olympic studies classes overthe past three years exceeds 1,000. Dr. Jacques Rogge, IOC former president and a promoter of the Olympic movement, recognized University of Tsukuba as anextremely enthusiastic site for research on and promotion of the Olympic movement. In an “Olympic no Boukyo” (Olympic Studies) class held in 2003, he conveyed
this message to the students and later continued to support the class. In recognition of his contributions, the University of Tsukuba presented Mr. Rogge with anhonorary doctorate in October 2006.In 2016, the same honor was confered on Thomas Bach,the current president of the IOC.

In 2002, The Promotion of Health and Sport Scientific Research program was selected as a Twenty-First Century Center of Excellence (COE) Program on a

joint application by the Physical Education Science Department and the Sports Medicine Department. The Centre for Olympic Research and Education wasestablished in 2010 approved by IOC. This five-year program focuses on three research projects (1) development of sports and activity programs that invigorate
lifestyles of young children to seniors based on their physical capabilities and characteristics; (2) development of programs to enhance human health and sports
medicine research in order to establish tailor-made activity-based treatments; and (3) creation of training methods to enhance the competitive abilities of leading
athletes and development of athletic rehabilitation. Through these activities, the program seeks to create a global research center that can address both basic andapplied issues.

University Information http://www.tsukuba.ac.jp/ HISTORYThe University of Tsukuba was established in October, 1973,
when the Tokyo University of Education, its predecessor, wasrelocated. With the good tradition and characteristics of thepredecessor, the creation of University of Tsukuba brought about
the first major university reform in Japan to meet a demand frominside and outside the universities.
Since its foundation, the principles of the University of Tsukuba,
namely “New Systems for Education and Research,” “New University Government,” and “Open University,” have attracted attention
from various people, and have played a leading role in university
reforms.

/ EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM// Undergraduate Courses

The University of Tsukuba further developed its unique featuresand reformed its undergraduate school system to achieve a
better quality of education. The University has 7 composite
schools; the School of Humanities and Culture, School of Socialand International Studies, School of Human Sciences, School ofLife and Environmental Sciences, School of Sciences and Engineering, School of Informatics, and School of Medicine andMedical Sciences, each of which include colleges of similar
disciplines. In addition to these composite schools the School ofPhysical Education, Health and Sport Sciences and the School of
Art and Design in which students are required to acquire special
abilities and qualifications, exist independently.

// Graduate Courses

The University of Tsukuba offers both master’s and doctoral
degree programs for education and research guidance.
The two-year master’s degree programs aim at producing
professionals with academic and technical expertise and offer
re-education opportunities for the general public. They are notdivided into the usual specialized fields and adopt an interdisciplinary education system.
The doctoral degree programs train students to become independent researchers capable of conducting original researchwith the aim of training highly- specialized professionals. In
addition, there are evening graduate courses for working professionals in Otsuka, Tokyo: Counseling and Rehabilitation Science
course and Sports and Health Promotion course and Doctoral
Program (for the last three years) in Business Sciences Studies.

/ RESEARCH SYSTEM

Other than its educational organizations, the University ofTsukuba has also established research institutes, special project
research groups and research centers. The research institutes
have been established according to fields of research. This
grouping is not based on special fields of a narrow spectrum, but
on intimately related areas where communication is possible on
the specialist level. Faculty members belong to one of these
institutes where they conduct individual studies in accordancewith their specialties, and teach in the undergraduate andgraduate schools.

School of Physical Education, Health and Sport Sciences andFaculty of Health and Sport Sciences/ HISTORY

Both the School of Physical Education, Health and Sport Sciences and the Faculty of Health and Sport Sciences at the University of Tsukuba originate from the National School of Gymnastics
founded in 1878, which is the oldest institute in Japan for gymnastics and physical education. The institute was combined with
Tokyo Normal School in 1885. In 1902, Normal School was
reorganized as the Tokyo Higher Normal School and faculty ofPhysical Education was instituted in 1915. In 1924, the National
Institute of Health and Physical Education was founded in Tokyoand in 1941 it was reorganized as the Tokyo College of Physical
Education.After World War II, the Faculty of Health and Physical
Education was established within the Tokyo University of Education in 1949.
This was the result of the amalgamation of the Tokyo Higher
Normal School, the Tokyo University of Literature and Science,
the Tokyo College of Physical Education and the Tokyo College ofAgricultural Education. In 1960, the Institute of Sport Sciences
was created as an addition to the Faculty. With the establishmentof the University of Tsukuba in 1973, a new system of health,physical education and sport sciences was developed on thebase consolidated by the reorganization of the former Faculty
and the Institute, as well as by the recruitment of new faculty
staff members.
