Message from the Dean
In our Department of Physical Therapy, students not only acquire the knowledge and skills necessary in the clinical field, but also develop the ability to collaborate with others through active learning such as group work, to independently seek out new knowledge and skills, and to discover and disseminate new knowledge in the future.
Characteristics of learning
A chain of growth created by connections between seniors and juniors
Classes are small, with about 40 students per year, and incorporate a lot of group work. The connections between seniors and juniors are strong, and it is common to see seniors teaching juniors practical skills and studies. Department of Physical Therapy is characterized by an "environment where students can grow" by helping each other improve.
