SETSUNAN UNIVERSITY

In 1975, Setsunan University was founded with the ambition of creating a university that has never been seen before. Since then, Setsunan has shown drastic growth and development, now providing a wide variety of academic fields from humanities to sciences, including 12 departments in 6 faculties, and five areas of graduate-level studies. Taking full advantage of the characteristics of a university, we structure our curriculum to be interdisciplinary with emphasis on the development of practical skills. We also encourage our students to take national examinations and other tests of such kind to qualify for various professions so that their potential is embodied for people to see, and in turn gives them a competitive edge. We assure that, no matter what area of study they major in, our students will have the full support from the entire university staff.
Seminars that focus on interpersonal communication are the very essense of the education Setsunan University offers. An individual experiences drastic growth when he/she takes action with enthusiasm, and such a chance is often found in interaction with others. Incorporating this philosophy into our curriculum, we consistently offer small-group classes from the freshman year basic seminar courses, the second and third year seminar courses, to the senior year graduating studies. We are sure that this learning environment helps the students tap into their potential to flourish.
Setsunan University hopes to foster highly skilled professionals with the ideal balance of mind, spirit and body, which is our educational principle, and scientists who are in demand from now on. With that in mind, we have strived to improve our educational capability, and will continue to do so in the future, while keeping the students' viewpoint in the center of our development. We would like to welcome especially those students who believe in their inner potential and wish to further develop many aspects of themselves.
