(Reference) Admission Policy

In order to extend healthy lifespan, improve pre-symptomatic state “ME-BYO” and realize a society where each citizen can lead a worthwhile life, there is a strong need for human resources who can propose problem-solving measures unbound by existing concepts. In particular, the Master’s Course at the School of Health Innovation (SHI) seeks to cultivate human resources who possess an entrepreneurial spirit and can devote themselves to social change through a scientifically-based approach. SHI endeavors to produce such human resources both in Japan and overseas. Accordingly, the Master’s Course at SHI accepts human resources who possess the following qualities:

 

  1. Those who possess a strong desire to construct a society where people can lead a rewarding life through the improvement of healthcare, medical care, and social welfare;
  2. Those who are interested in social issues and aspire to solve problems based on logical and scientific thinking;
  3. Those who strive to present solutions from multiple perspectives in response to issues faced by people and organizations with diverse backgrounds;
  4. Those who can present and implement bold solutions to issues from a new perspective without being bound by the existing framework of perspectives.

 

Based on the above perspectives, we will comprehensively evaluate the applicant's motivation and expertise in the paper screening through a statement of reasons and a short essay, and the applicant's ability to work enthusiastically on research to solve problems in the interview process.
