This department belongs to a department where students learn various medical techniques such as vision correction, nursing, medical radiation, clinical examination, and about department of Sport and Medical Science. In addition, we aim to be a judo therapist in the best environment where we can feel the cutting edge that is indispensable for modern medical care, such as cooperation with the School of Medicine and the hospital attached to the School of Medicine.
Campus with 3 systems of medical care, science and engineering, and humanities The Utsunomiya Campus, where the Department of Judo Therapy is located, has the Faculty of Science and Engineering and the Faculty of Economics, Department of Regional Economics. The Utsunomiya Campus, which has three systems of medical care, science and engineering, and humanities, plays the role of an integrated university. Students can also take courses in other faculties such as bioscience, robotics, and business science, so they can understand the structure of the body and acquire mechanical knowledge. It will also help students when they think about independence as a judo therapist after graduation.
National examination measures In the 4th grade, classes are divided according to proficiency level, and full-scale national examination preparation begins. First of all, students intensively supplement their weak points. After that, they utilize e-learning and mock tests to improve our application skills. In addition, the Judo rehabilitation special lecture, which is set up in the 4th grade, is a class that summarizes the basic subjects and practical skills learned from the 1st year to 3rd grade for the national examination. At the same time, by taking advantage of after-school hours and non-class hours, students repeatedly learn practical skills, and while reconfirming, they surely acquire the skills and aim to pass the national examination.
