Three Features

Point 1

Extensive facilities and equipment that expand the range of manufacturing

We completely prepare training rooms equipped with a Japanese-style room, kitchen, bathroom, etc.
Students deepen their learning about occupational therapy while imagining the patient's life in an environment like a real house.
Furthermore, by experiencing various occupations such as making ceramics, weaving, and woodworking, students will develop perspective to consider and analyze the effects of those occupations on rehabilitation.

Point 2

Learn animal-mediated rehabilitation, including equestrian therapy

Equestrian therapy is commonly used in the United States as a method of rehabilitation.
This department is the only one in Japan where students can learn this riding therapy authentically.
Students can learn the basic knowledge necessary for horse riding therapy while gaining practical experience by using facilities inside and outside the university as learning places, such as the horse intervention activity center, hospitals, and welfare facilities with ranches.

Point 3

We support students in passing the national exam by providing efficient and beneficial preparation classes

National examination preparation starts from early on in the first year.
By repeating the practice test, students can understand the areas they need improvement in and use the test to overcome those areas.
In addition, the advisory faculty will identify each student's abilities and provide detailed learning guidance.
Immediately before the national examination, intensive lectures for final preparation will be held.
