Graduate School of Social Welfare
In Japan, which finds itself facing a rapidly aging population and declining birthrate, there is a growing need ti resolve social security and welfare issues at the ideological, institutional and practical levels. Meanwhile, changes in social systems and diversified values have caused changes in human relationships, thereby making it necessary to resolve psychosocial issues in various situations. This has led the Graduate School of Social Welfare to offer a Master's Program in Social Welfare and a Master's Program in Clinical Psychology as well as a Doctoral Program in Social Welfare for students who have completed master's programs to respond to social needs.

The Master's Program in Social Welfare includes courses designed to equip students to become certified social workers. The curriculum of the Master's Program in Clinical Psychology qualifies students to take the examinations for certified psychologists.
