The educational philosophy of this research course is "to develop a comprehensive understanding of health sciences in physical, mental, and social dimensions on the basis of practical learning through education and research on mental and physical health, thus contributing to human happiness and social welfare improvement." The English course in this research course is established so that foreign and Japanese students can acquire their degree by taking the courses in English. This research course is based on the principles of the Kobe University Graduate School of Health Education Research Course.
