Mission

CHUKYO UNIVERSITY

Our institution’s goal of providing“a focus of excellence in both learning and sports”
was the philosophy of our founder and continues to inspireand shape our activities today.

1Message
Throughout its history since its establishment in 1954, Chukyo University has
vigorously set out to be a “university that takes on challenges.” The school motto is“Shin-Ken-Mi,” (真剣味), and the founding spirit of the University is to “Focus on Excellence in both Learning and Sports.” We implement this school motto and spirit based on
the Four Principles: 1. Follow the rules, 2. Do your best, 3. Promote teamwork, and 4.
Respect Your Opponent. In Shin-Ken-Mi, Shin (真) means academic education, Ken (剣)means physical education, and Mi (味) refers to moral education. True intellect is founded
on a healthy body, following the rules, and being respectful.
Chukyo University aims to “foster intellectuals with resilience who can think forthemselves and take action on their own accord.” Resilience means to be strong dealing
with adversity and acting flexibly even in challenging situations. Our future society will
demand individuals with strong mentality, specialized knowledge, and a wide-ranging
education.
UMEMURA Educational Institutions, which manages Chukyo University and ­Chukyo
University Senior High School, will celebrate the 100th anniversary of its f­oundation in
2023. Educational institutions face a rapidly changing environment with more complex
and diverse social issues. In this dynamic social environment, institutions must manage
their schools soundly and appropriately while contributing to society through the perpetual development of their educational and research activities and results.
Recently, “UMEMURA VISION 2033” was established, outlining where UMEMURA
Educational Institutions wants to be in the next ten years. At the same time, Chukyo University has created a long-term business plan, tentatively titled “NEXT10-II,” indicating
the measures to be taken to achieve this long-term vision.
The lead role at our university is taken by all of our students. Chukyo University willcontinue taking on challenges and making reforms to support and provide them with theopportunities to learn to their hearts’ content and develop their potentials.

School of Psychology

Department of Psychology
Founded in 2000, the Department of Psychology has been renowned for its
excellence in teaching, empirical research, and clinical practices. Currently ourfaculty members, each of whom is specialized in one of four areas: experimental, applied, clinical, and developmental psychology. This balanced structure
allows us a unique approach for undergraduate education, in which students
gain not only textbook knowledge but also hands-on practical experience tolearn psychology in its entirety. Experimental laboratories are equipped with
cutting-edge facilities such as wearable eye-trackers, electroencephalography,
psychophysiological measures, and virtual reality simulators. Technical and monetary supports are provided for all students who conduct large-scale web-based
surveys. Workshops are organized for students who learn real-world applications of psychology to community-based child care and/or industrial risk management. Applicants who wish to become licensed psychologists will be able
to complete the necessary and sufficient program to continue further training
in graduate school. With these abundant educational resources, we welcome
all international students who have a keen interest in the science of mind andbehavior.
Education in the fundamentals of psychology, as well as liberal arts andlanguage education, is emphasized in the first two years. Students take
“Psychology” from the general education curriculum and “Introductory
9

UNDERGRADUATE
Psychology”, a required subject for the department, to lay the groundwork forthe study of psychology, so that students may proceed into the field of theirchoice.
The curriculum for first- and second-year psychology students is designed tobuild foundations for future studies and heighten interest in psychology. Someof the courses include “Various Areas of Modern Psychology, Statistics for
Psychology” and “Seminar on Data Processing for Psychology”.
With the transition to the semester system, the majority of courses havebeen converted to two-credit semester courses. In addition to the courses,“Reading Psychological Articles Seminars” are added. Second- and third-year
students are required to take the following introductory courses: Experimental
Psychology, Applied Psychology, Clinical Psychology, and Developmental
Psychology.
In addition to classes specific to the experimental, applied, clinical, and developmental areas, the school provides opportunities to learn not only throughlectures but also through practical training and experiments for third- andfourth-year students. Further, students learn research methods in courses suchas Psychology Measurements, Psychological Assessment, and Psychological
Data Analysis. The course of “Applied Psychology Training” includes a study
trip to worksites. Fieldwork training covers the areas of “Clinical Psychology
Fieldwork Training” at specially designated guidance classrooms, where children with difficulty adapting to school are being prepared for a return to school.
The developmental psychology curriculum includes present-day topics such as“Developmental Psychology for Parent and Child“ and “Life-span Developmental
Psychology”.

School of Law

Department of Law
The School of Law was founded in 1966.
The School of Law encourages students to acquire a “legal mind” that willallow them to take an overall look at problems in society and to handle andresolve such problems appropriately based on the rules and principles of law.
With growing awareness of legal matters in current society, there is a great
demand for individuals who can handle and resolve problems in accordancewith the law. The faculty provides programs in Japanese for students to acquire
such legal knowledge and legal spirit.
The School of Law offers three pillars to hold up a solid achievement fromadmission to graduation for students.
The first pillar is stable foundational education. Students take the introductory subjects before studying the specialized subjects, such as “Introduction ofLaw”, “Introduction of Civil Law”, “Introduction of Criminal Law”, “Introduction of10

CHUKYO UNIVERSITY

Politics”, “Introductory Seminar”. By taking these introductory subjects, students
should acquire the foundation for further study into more specialized subjects.
The second pillar is the advanced practice education. Students take more
specialized subjects to practice the legal mind and knowledge gained by foundational education, including not only various kinds of specialized subjects about
Law and Politics, but such as “Legal Practice Program Lecture”, “Forefront
Study Lecture”, “Basic Seminar”, “Legal Practice Program Seminar”, “Advanced
Seminar”, “Graduation Thesis”. By taking these specialized subjects, students
will cultivate the practical skills on how to use law in society.
The third pillar is the plentiful job-seeking supports. The Support Committee
for Law Students set up by the School of Law provides various job-seeking
supports in cooperation with organizations within the university, such as
Qualification Support Center, Career Support Department and International
Center. As a result, the School of Law maintains a high pass rate, especiallyin government employment examinations. By taking “Introduction to Career
Development”, students listen to many experiences and advices from persons
who are active at the forefront of society or senior students who passed thegovernment employment examinations or influential private enterprises and will
master opportunities and tips on how to do in job-seeking.
The School of law is comprised of many researchers who are active in theacademic and judicial field, including Constitutional law, civil law, criminal law
and political science. They also range widely in age which makes for a wellbalanced organization and a friendly learning environment.
The Law Library Center (LLC), adjacent to the building where classes are held,
has a large collection of books and materials on law and political science usedby many students.

CHUKYO UNIVERSITY

seek solutions to conflicting problems out of modern society without being
disoriented in the abyss of social changes. The original principle is observed; aflexible structure with no boundaries between departments within the School,
putting an emphasis on the field working and research and fostering sensitivity,
creativity and the ability to take action.
In 2015, the School of Contemporary Sociology added four new majors andrevised its curriculum, thus continuing to make exciting advances in the field.
Major in Sociology cultivates the capability of developing a social vision for
a new human connection. Job shortages for young people, the social divide,poverty, social withdrawal, and other familiar social issues can be deemed to be
attributable to various factors, such as economic policies, educational systems,
laws, public awareness, and social customs. We can identify the phenomena inquantitative terms, while also focusing on the social systems and cultural backgrounds that underlie these issues. Based on cross-curricular studies in politics,
economics, education, labor and other academic fields, students are expectedto acquire sociological imagination skills that help them understand profoundly
the various problems existing with the human connection to the general social
structure.
Major in Community Studies involves the acquisition of demonstration skills
and practical competence through hands-on opportunities for establishinghuman connections. By focusing on widely diversified communities comprising people connected with one another through the local community, the family, hobbies, and the Internet, students will independently experience, examine,consider and practice their ideas out in the field where people are likely to form
connections and cooperate with each other. Students are also expected todevelop field-based skills for thinking about and solving community problems ina scientific manner.
Major in Social Welfare combines the theories and practices of welfare to create a new form of coexistence. In order to find solutions to social welfare issues,
our curricula, which incorporate the research approaches of sociology, psychology and cultural anthropology, are aimed at developing human connections forcoexistence in order to protect the lives of people and enrich their daily lives.
Hands-on experience in nursing care, childcare, disaster relief assistance, andother various fields will make students capable of analyzing and understanding social problems, developing solutions, and taking action to tackle the challenges. Prior to participation in fieldwork activities, students will understand thevalue and concept of welfare and acquire scientific knowledge and skills andtechniques to support their thinking. They will be encouraged to enhance their
teamwork spirit so that they are able to understand, and serve people in need ofhelp. Student Support for the National Qualification “Certified Social Worker.” We
offer academic subjects which are pre-requisites for the examination for Certified
Social Worker. With consideration for students studying for certification examinations, we also provide group and private instruction, mock tests, and learning to13

counsel for individuals.
Major in Intercultural Studies creates new human connections across the borders through intercultural practice. With emphasis on the relationship between
global trends and local phenomena, students will apply an anthropologicalperspective and consider new human connections created through intercultural
exchange and multicultural coexistence. Our curricula, based on the combination of cultural anthropology and museology, are designed to empower students
to understand the background of way of lives that are dependent on “materiality”
playing a key role in that concept. During their fieldwork, students will visit theplaces where local people actually live their lives, so that they can learn their lifestyle and philosophy. The students are expected to familiarize themselves withthe ethnographic methodology in order to then share with others the experienceand resources obtained through their fieldwork, so that they can gain advanced
communication skills that are useful in the real world.

School of Health and Sport Sciences∙ Department of Sport Management∙ Department of Health Science∙ Department of Athletic Training and Conditioning∙ Department of Sport and Physical Education∙ Department of Sport Science
The School of Health and Sport Sciences was established in 2011 in responseto the recent expansion of sports-related markets, and the diversified and complex needs and expectations of the public. Based on researches conducted
over half a century by the School of Physical Education, new possibilities in
sports are being pursued through comprehensive and specialized researches
and education that extends into the humanities, social sciences and natural sciences. Utilizing a network of faculties and alumni active in Japan and worldwide,
the School strives to fulfill its role as a comprehensive and a global center for
sports academism that fuses knowledge and practice.

Department of Sport Management
Nowadays, more and more emphasis is being placed on sports-related industry and business, and the growth of the sports industry is also part of Japan’s
growth strategy. We must therefore study a diverse range of fields including economics, business, and law, and consider a dynamic new society through sports.
In addition to overseas training, we also offer classes through collaboration
with local governments, professional sports groups, and sports facilities. We aim
to develop human resources capable of participating actively in all industries bymastering theory and gaining experience through practice.

Department of Health Science
As people have become increasingly concerned about health, the expectation and need for sports have increased significantly. However, the effects orrisks of sports on the mind and body do not seem to be fully understood. At
the Department of Health Science, students undertake extensive research on
the relationship between sports and health from a scientific viewpoint, including medical, psychological and sociological perspectives. The Department aims
to foster human resources in various fields to help contribute to the development of a health-conscious society as, for example, sports instructors focusing
on the promotion of health in lifelong education and for challenged individuals,
developers of health-themed products and services, and health administrators
at companies or public institutions. From the perspective of health science, theDepartment strives to develop human resources with skills that support sports
performance.
The curriculum provides a wide range of transversal study of health science.

15

UNDERGRADUATE
After acquiring broad knowledge and scientific basics, students may select programs best meeting their future goals in public sanitation, rehabilitation, sports
medicine and other specialized fields, enabling students to acquire expertise ina step-by-step manner. By taking practical courses, students understand theeffect of sports on their own bodies which enables them to acquire skills to put
their knowledge into practice.

Students will study such areas as appropriate first-aid treatment for injuries suffered by athletes, physiotherapy to ensure a swift recovery, and physical training
focusing on the prevention of injuries, learn how to become “sports trainers”,
and study “strength and conditioning”, which aims to develop an even higher
level of sports ability through physical training.
The Toyota Campus offers 39 sports clubs in an environment in which athletes, coaches, and teachers work closely with one another. By experiencing awide variety of sports in such an environment, students will be able to gain theknowledge and practical skills that will serve them in the future as trainers.

Department of Sport and Physical Education
What we gain through sport is not limited to direct results, such as improved
competitive skills and strength. Sports are deeply associated with individual
character building and motivation in life, and play an important role in maintaining a vibrant society. Particularly during the stages of growth, sports promote
intellectual development and the well-balanced healthy development of mind
and body. Children learn the value of exerting effort towards self-actualizationand the importance of respecting others.
One of the features of the Department of Sport and Physical Education is its
fulfilling practical curriculum. Students are provided with major practical courses(17 sports) designated in the curriculum guidelines set forth by the Ministry of
Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, to acquire the ability toprovide practical lessons suitable for each developmental stage of growth, theability to coach extracurricular sport activities, as well as examining the role ofsports in school education. The curriculum also specializes in developing teachers with a special program to enhance teaching ability in schools and program
to prepare for elementary school teaching credential. Making full use of theexperience of the former organization, the School of Physical Education, whichplaced importance on the fostering of teachers for Health and Safety Education,
the Department aims to develop well-balanced teachers with qualities thatenable them to be entrusted with the future of children, and with knowledge,
understanding, teaching ability, educational ability, and practical skills.

Japanese literature, culture of Japanese language, language education andChinese literature. There is also a program for students who have completed theMaster’s Program to study to be qualified teachers at leading junior and seniorhigh schools.
The majority of our postdoctoral students work as leading researchers atuniversities or research institutes. Our graduates who have earned Doctoral
degrees have taken teaching positions at universities in and out of the country.
Individuals with practical skills immediately useful in society are being sought
today. The Graduate School of Letters, therefore, aims to enhance high levelresearch and education from a wide perspective, and foster human resources
who have mastered and who are capable to handing down the beautiful
Japanese language to future generations.
