Lifelong Learning and Global Competence
Message from the Chairman

Founded in 1933, Osaka Seikei Gakuen has nearly 90
years of history. Our group of schools comprises Osaka
Seikei University, Biwako Seikei Sport College, Osaka
Seikei College, Osaka Seikei Girls’ High School, andKomichi Kindergarten. We have around 7,300 students
enrolled and 129,000 alumni.*
Osaka Seikei Gakuen’s educational philosophy derives
from a Chinese proverb recorded by Sima Qian in theancient Records of the Grand Historian. The proverb
states, “Peaches and plums don’t speak, but people gather
beneath them, drawn by their flowers and fruits. In time, apath to the trees emerges.” Interpreting this allegory, we
say that someone with integrity will draw others who
admire their virtue.
At Osaka Seikei Gakuen, we act on the principles of chujo(“faithfulness and kindness”). In our actions, we follow ourconscience and consider others.
To embody the educational philosophy of Osaka Seikei
Gakuen, you need what we call “human qualities.” These
are the qualities we foster in our students:
1. Being full of vitality, having a strong body and a flexible
mind;
2. Displaying a level of reading, writing, listening, andspeaking able to meet global standards;
3. Being able to interact well with others, but still act andthink independently;
4. Having sound judgement and a broad perspective forproblem solving;
5. Being curious, ambitious, and persistent in the face ofobstacles;
6. Understanding others, valuing personal bonds, being
loyal and kind.

mind. We have improved first-year education and career
education, innovated the curricula for liberal arts andspecialized subjects, and enhanced joint classes withcompanies and local governments. We have also
introduced active learning in all classes; rather thanpassively watching lectures, students take the initiative insolving problems through research and discussions. We
also hold contests and make students’ progress more
visible. In 2019 we built the Global-kan building, an English
education hub for our university and college. ThroughEnglish guidance and study-abroad programs, we arenurturing individuals who can be active on the world stage.
Along with these educational reforms, we have established
new faculties, departments, and courses. Furthermore, tocontinue being a comprehensive educational instituteencompassing aspects of culture, science, and art, Osaka
Seikei University established the Faculty of Global Tourism
and Management in 2022. We also plan to open the
Faculty of Nursing Science and the Faculty of Data
Science in 2023.**
Compared to 12 years ago, we have 2.3 times as many
applicants and 1.6 times as many enrollees. I hope Osaka
Seikei Gakuen will attract even more students in the future,and that they’ll become well-respected individuals who use
the knowledge and expertise they gain here to serve theircommunities and organizations.

Chairman, Board of Directors

In recent years, we have conducted wide-ranging
educational reforms aimed at fostering lifelong learningand global competence and assuring the quality of oureducation for the 21st century and beyond. Faculty andstaff are working on numerous projects with these goals in* Current as of academic year2022.
** Currently awaiting approval.
The plan is subject to change.

Convenient, Vibrant Location

Learn in a Spacious, Natural Setting

The Kinki region, comprising the seven prefectures of Osaka,
Kyoto, Mie, Shiga, Nara, Wakayama, and Hyogo, is located slightly
west of Japan’s geographical center. For many years, it flourishedas the heart of Japan’s government, culture, and trade and boasts
a long history and rich traditional culture. Besides the ancient
capitals of Kyoto and Nara, other attractive cities include Osaka—
one of Japan’s largest metropolitan areas after Tokyo—and Kobe,
a vibrant and scenic port. Flanked by the Sea of Japan and thePacific Ocean, and boasting natural wonders like Lake Biwa—
Japan’s largest lake—and numerous mountains, the Kinki region
attracts people from around the world.

Osaka Seikei University, Osaka Seikei College, Osaka Seikei
Girls’ High School, and Komichi Kindergarten are located in
Higashiyodogawa-ku, in the northeast of Osaka City between
two large rivers, the Yodogawa and the Kanzakigawa. It is easy
to get to and from, with a network of nearby train lines offering
convenient access to major stations like Osaka Station andKyoto Station. There are numerous other universities not far
away, so the area and its environs are home to a vibrant youth
culture that includes many overseas students.
Furthermore, Osaka Seikei Gakuen enjoys close ties to local
governments in Osaka, Kyoto, and other cities, and companies
in the region, so students often visit these partners as part oftheir locally themed class assignments. Osaka Seikei Gakuen
also strives to be a good citizen by holding community
exchange events and lectures open to the public.

Biwako Seikei Sport College is located in Hira, Otsu City, Shiga
Prefecture, about 40 minutes by train from Kyoto. Surrounded byexpansive natural beauty, its large campus provides ample
opportunity to learn and practice sports. And its proximity to theHira Mountains and Lake Biwa provides unparalleled access tocamping and water sports. Students of Biwako Seikei Sport
College also work closely together in study and research with theircounterparts at the Aikawa campus, home to Osaka Seikei

Makoto Musashino
Osaka Seikei University offers a choice of four faculties, each providing students with a range of unique courses. With
the aim of becoming a comprehensive educational institute encompassing aspects of culture, science, and art, we plan
to establish the Faculty of Nursing Science and the Faculty of Data Science in 2023.

One of the qualities that sets our institution apart is our focus on collective and active learning. We leverage
project-based learning to identify relevant issues while engaging with society and look into and devise solutions. Tapping
into the energy of students striving to learn is how we empower support for society going forward, and I hope to help
society develop through university education.

Masaaki Okawa
At Biwako Seikei Sport College, we are fortunate enough to be graced with the rich nature of Lake Biwa and the Hira
Mountains. Ever since opening in 2003, we have pioneered a philosophy that centers on moving away from theJapanese system of closed physical education in favor of a new and more international sports culture as the first college
in Japan to have “Sport” in its name. To date, we have nurtured around 4,100 graduates and won wide-ranging acclaim.
Our programs meet a range of sporting needs and help deliver graduates who can lead the way for a new sports culture.
