BA/BS in Nursing

The Department of Nursing in the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences at Nara Gakuen University aims to produce nurses with solid knowledge, advanced skills, creativity and the ability to cooperate. Courses that build personal qualities run from the first year to the last, alongside nursing foundations and care suited to each stage of human development. Teaching combines lectures, exercises and clinical placements at partner hospitals, with each teacher supporting a small group of students in every year. In the final year, students design their own integrated placement and graduation research. An overseas training programme also gives exposure to health care abroad. Students can follow a nurse course, a nurse and public health nurse course, or a nurse and midwife course, and they gain eligibility for the matching national examinations.
