Psychological and
Physical Science

Overview of Graduate Schools

Two divisions, Psychology and Health Sciences, have been established.

Through psychological and physical science that is beneficial for human health, students can aim to become highly skilled professionals or researchers in cutting-edge fields while also achieving personal happiness.

The Graduate School of Psychological and Physical Science aims to contribute broadly to human health by advancing scientific exploration of humans empirically from two perspectives: the mind and the body. A characteristic feature of it is the ability to engage in research by fusing together psychological and physical perspectives. The Graduate School has two divisions, Psychology and Health Sciences, and the broad natures of their specialized fields and the extensive expertise in them has led to growing expectations for new research results arising from their fusion. Doctoral programs are offered in both divisions, allowing students to acquire specialized knowledge and skills to become researchers in cutting-edge fields.
