While it goes without saying that this is a place where you’ll acquire specialized knowledge, you’ll also be introduced to social contribution activities and community partnerships undertaken by the university while constantly cooperating with local communities, companies, and other institutions of learning to ensure that we continue to have campuses that are characterized by openness.
Learning constitutes a power which allows one to live in societies all over the globe
Everything students learn at our university is connected to society and to local communities. Medicine, education, and the social sciences all constitute forces which allow us to live in diverse societies. First, when it comes to the medical field, we are sending out into the world the kind of talent which participates actively in Japan and around the rest of the globe as we prepare ourselves for an aging Japan experiencing a decline in birthrates. We also provide the rest of society with insight on cases involving contributions made to global society by Japan, a country which boasts high technological capabilities. In the field of education, we have established our Graduate School of Teacher Education and have made our teacher training program independent as an undergraduate department. We’ve done this to go about deepening the academic knowledge of students and to go about fostering talent for the future, meaning professionals able to apply that knowledge in their own endeavors. Furthermore, in the field of social sciences, we offer a large number of large-scale seminars, which are unprecedented here in Japan, and provide students with a wide range of opportunities to improve their skills as people while interacting with faculty staff and other students. On occasions where students and children interact with one another, for example, through sports, there is no doubt much for students to learn and experience while also contributing to the local community. By having us continue making contributions to our society in this manner, I would like to see our university be one that is constantly growing and learning together with local communities and with Japan as well.

Characteristics of Industry-Academia-Government Collaboration
Purpose of Industry-Academia-Government Collaboration
The university is actively engaged in Industry-Academia-Government Collaboration. This involves universities, companies, governments and local governments cooperating with each other to carry out business projects. It is through these activities that we contribute to local communities and give students the opportunity to gain more experience in society as they prepare for their futures.
The university has six medical bases found throughout the Kanto region. Each hospital is equipped with the latest equipment and advanced medical technologies, allowing us to achieve treatment systems that are tailored to each patient. Meanwhile, we also provide services entailing close involvement with local communities through institutions such as osteopathic clinics and the Teikyo University Mental Health Center. We also actively dispatch medical teams to provide assistance during occurrences such as disasters.
Our university works in collaboration with the local communities where each campus is located. There are various activities undertaken in accordance with the characteristics of the respective area and the campus. Such activities include the renting out of university facilities, the holding of public lectures, various workshops, and events that children can enjoy. We will continue to be closely involved in local communities and do our part to help make them even better.
Learning changes dramatically when students move from high school to university. It is our hope that high school students learn more about what university has to offer, that they feel that university is more familiar to them, and that they take a step toward their own future. Our aim is to help them do this, which is why we are actively working on our high school partnership program.
We are also working to contribute to society through sports. Students and faculty members of clubs in the Physical Education Department hold joint practices and open up their classrooms to people in the local community to strengthen ties with the local community. We are also actively contributing to society in the realm of professional sports.
Endowed Chairs make effective use of donations received from the private sector, etc. to promote and enhance education and research at the university. In doing so, the goal is to go about ensuring speedy responses to the requirements of society and changes in conditions when it comes to the realm of academics, and at the same time contribute to the diversification of education and research frameworks.
Our university collaborates with professional sports teams to give back research results to society and create a place for students to gain Practical learning experience.
