HIROSAKI UNIVERSITYPRINCIPLE, OBJECTIVES

President ENDO Masahiko

Principle
In the spirit of the Fundamental Law of Education, the aim of Hirosaki University is to acquire a wide store of knowledge for in-depth teaching of and research inthe professional arts and sciences; to develop the intellectual, moral, practical, and applicable capacities of staff and students alike; and to produce future
leaders supplied with insights sufficiently broad and well informed that they can help shape the future of human culture.
Objectives
Hirosaki University will consist of five faculties (Humanities, Education, Medicine and Health Sciences, Science and Technology, and Agriculture and Life
Sciences), each offering a wide range of academic disciplines. We will make full use of these faculties particular strengths to develop educational and research
programs for a greater and better regional contribution. To express this determination we have taken as our motto: Hirosaki University: Establishing a Global
Identity, Creating with the Community.
Educational Aims. Hirosaki University aims to cultivate individuals who are active in seeking out important issues and will contribute as independent-minded
citizens to specialized, high-level activities at domestic as well as international levels. Through our interdisciplinary Graduate School for Regional Studies we are
putting particular emphasis on the education of creative and original thinkers who will play a leading role in the development of our community.
Research Aims. Hirosaki University strives to provide leadership, direction, and support in order to achieve research results that are international in scope yet
contribute to the region; timely yet with a view of long-term results; emphasizing basic research yet seeking to achieve a fusion of humanities, social sciences,and the natural sciences.
Regional Contribution. Aomori Prefecture, in which Hirosaki University is located, has a decreasing and aging population and a relatively weak productive
infrastructure. For these reasons, younger people are leaving the prefecture in increasing numbers. Hirosaki University s Center for Joint Research, Center for
Education and Research of Lifelong Learning, Tokyo Information Office, and Hachinohe and Aomori Satellite education sites are among the positive
contributions we are making to strengthen regional development through a cooperative effort of industry and academia. Because Aomori Prefecture also suffersfrom a shortage of medical and nursing personnel, the Hirosaki University Hospital, as the main medical facility in the prefecture, has assumed a central role increating better access to medical services in the region.
