Message from the Dean

A graduate school is a place for research. However, research here does not have the narrow meaning that is commonly associated with it.
Graduate School of Education, Psychology and Human Studies is not only for students who aim to become university professors or other researchers. Some graduate students in Department of Education aim to become teachers by obtaining a specialized license as an educational officer. Some graduate students in Department of Psychology major aim to become counselors by obtaining qualifications as a licensed psychologist or clinical psychologist. There are a variety of career goals, including public service or general business. There are also students who attend graduate school while working (the so-called working graduate students).
However, whether you become a researcher or use your expertise in another profession, it is essential to engage in exploratory activities that broaden and deepen your knowledge in your field of expertise and find answers to the questions you have identified. This kind of activity is called "research," and it is something that will always be required, no matter what career path you choose. When we think of research in this way, we can call people who have the attitude and motivation to carry it out of their own volition a "researcher."
In this graduate school, we believe that because we view research in this broad way, students with various research themes and career aspirations are able to "learn" from one another across a wide range of topics, from theory to practice. Education and psychology are academic fields that pursue "human beings." The fields surrounding humans are extremely diverse. In this graduate school, many faculty members with diverse areas of expertise work together to carry out research and educational activities, creating an environment in which students can aim to become "researchers" with broad perspectives and deep academic insight (as mentioned above, the term "researchers" here includes practitioners, professionals, and members of society who have research-oriented skills).
