About Komatsu University Graduate / Master and Doctoral Course
Graduate School of Sustainable Systems Science▶ Division of Production System Science
Academic Structure▶ Division of Health Sciences▶ Division of Glocal Cultures

The Graduate School of Sustainable Systems Science is composed of three divisions:
Production System Science, Health Sciences and Glocal Culture. These divisions
share the common goal of developing human resources who are capable of establishingsystems that will lead to the realization of the sustainability of local and international
communities.
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which are now being aggressively
promoted around the world, have 17 goals adopted by the United Nations to achieveby 2030. We define the sustainability that our graduate school aims for as “the ability
to perpetually maintain the life, health, happiness, and peace of humankind and theearth, as well as people and community”, based on the basic principles of the SDGs,
and we work on developing human resources who can contribute to the sustainable
development of the region and the world for generations even beyond 2030.
In order to respond quickly and steadily to the expected dramatic changes in social
systems, coupled with the progress of advanced information technology and superaging, our graduate school puts together all the activities of the engineering,humanities, and medical field and links them together to share awareness of theinterrelationship of individual issues in deriving integrated solutions, and conducts
education and research with solidarity that transcends divisional boundaries.

Division of Production System Science
In this division, mechanical engineering, which forms the basis of manufacturing, isdefined as "an academic field for studying the analysis of mechanical phenomena andthe design and manufacturing methods of tangible objects". With production systems,
it is essential to integrate mechanical engineering with other related fields such as
electrical and electronic engineering and information science. Therefore, this division isdedicated to developing human resources that have a wide
range of capabilities, not only for responding to new ways ofgathering and utilizing data and information, but also for
considering factors in the fields of medicine and literaturefor social implementation so that they can contributeto the construction of a sustainable society through thedevelopment of earth and community-friendly production
systems.

*Definition of terms
Sustainable Systems ... Processes, institutions, cultures and policies that are systematically established andpromoted for the purpose of enhancing sustainability potential.
Sustainable Systems Science... Study that supports the creation of sustainable systems

0 5 Komatsu Universit yDivision of Health Sciences
This division aims to develop human resources familiar with new ways of collecting
and utilizing data and information from the perspective of bioethics, and that have awide range of data deployment and social implementation
capabilities while also considering engineering andliterature related factors, in order to contribute to thecreation of sustainable communities and the developmentof medical devices. Thus, we contribute to not only
maintaining the healthy and happy lives of citizens, butalso to improving sustainability in local and international
communities.

Division of Glocal Cultures
This division supports students to discover various international issues facing
Southern Kaga and Hokuriku districts, and develop the capabilities and skills
necessary to solve the issues, take pride in their culture, and cultivate the ability to
explore the cultural diversity of the local communities. We develop human resources
who are well versed in new ways of gathering and utilizing
data and information, with a wide range of data deployment
and social implementation capabilities also encompassing
the engineering and medical fields, that can demonstrateleadership in all areas of the world to act towardachieving the desirable sustainability and contributing tomulticultural coexistence and the international community.

Faculty of Intercultural Communication

Komatsu University ranks tenth among city-managed nursing universities in Japan,
and is one of only ten with a minimum number of 40-50 students per course.
As Japan’s population continues to age, nursing specialists will be needed not only
in hospitals but in a number of medical and care facilities throughout the country, toallow the elderly to live safe and fulfilling
lives in the places they are used to.
In our department, we instruct students
about health regeneration, disease
prevention, health maintenance, anda whole array of important details of
nursing, so as to help people live happy
and meaningful lives using local medical
facilities.

With the population and number of children already in decline all over Japan, thenumber of people coming to live here from abroad is steadily increasing, and so is thenumber of foreign tourists.
Komatsu City is home to “Hokuriku’s Gateway to the Sky”, Komatsu Airport, and also
exploits a variety of cultural and historical
traditions, including the representative
Kabuki play “Kanjincho”.
Our university strives to create a global
network for cultural exchange throughinternship and research, in which “global”
human resources can thrive.
