Becoming a life support “concierge” with an international viewpoint who can contribute to invigorating local areas

Our students also learn professional knowledge related to food and nursing care to support health, which enables comprehensive support for the quality and diversity of the lives of others.

- Many work-experience based programs are planned
Students acquire the ability to support the welfare of others first by studying the specialized subjects needed to develop an international viewpoint, then by taking nutrition and welfare courses. Through work-experience based learning, our students acquire the ability to contribute to invigorating local communities.
Overseas Food Culture Program
Students can choose to visit overseas school lunch facilities during the spring and summer breaks. Seeing the food culture and nutritional conditions of other countries helps them to develop an international viewpoint.
Travel business
With the goal of obtaining certification as a travel manager, students accompany private travel agency tour conductors to acquire the practical skills they will need.
Relaxation
Students study pressure massage for palms and foot soles, pressure therapy, and other relaxation methods as well as using essential oils and incense. Students experience these to better use them in nursing and in medical care.
