Newly established public universities and professional universities with individuality

 New universities are also being established.Sanjo City University <Niigata Prefecture> and Eikei University <Hiroshima Prefecture> will be set up at public universities, and Matsumoto Nursing University <Nagano Prefecture> will be set up at private universities.In addition, although it is not a new establishment, Osaka Medical College and Osaka Medical and Pharmaceutical University will be integrated to form a new Osaka Medical and Pharmaceutical University.Professional College of Arts and Tourism <Hyogo Prefecture> has been established, and private professional universities, Kanazawa Food Management Professional University <Ishikawa Prefecture>, Nagoya International Technical Professional University <Aichi Prefecture>, Osaka International Technical College Four universities are scheduled to be established: Professional University <Osaka Prefecture> and Wakayama Rehabilitation Professional University <Wakayama Prefecture>.

 Among these, public universities are set up with the expectations of the region, so their individuality and characteristics stand out.In Sanjo City, where Sanjo City University is established, there is the Tsubamesanjo district where companies with high technology in metal processing etc. gather, and the department to be established is "Faculty of Engineering, Department of Technology and Management Engineering".In addition to acquiring high skills, we also aim to develop management skills.In addition, the Department of Social System Design, Faculty of Social System Design, will be established at Eikei University.The founding body of Eikei University is Prefectural University of Hiroshima, but I feel an extraordinary motivation to establish a new university instead of adding a new faculty.

 Further attention is the Professional College of Arts and Tourism.The university will be set up in Toyooka City, Hyogo Prefecture, and the prospective president is Oriza Hirata, a playwright.The faculty to be established is the Faculty of Arts and Culture, Faculty of Tourism, Department of Arts and Culture, and the curriculum consists of both the arts and tourism fields.The new theater, which will be the base of the theater company that Oriza Hirata presides over, has already been completed in Toyooka City with a lot of support including crowdfunding.

 A public university where you can study theater in earnest like this is extremely unique.In addition, compulsory subjects are planned to improve communication skills using theatrical techniques.Mr. Hirata has already practiced such an educational method in elementary, junior high and high school to higher education nationwide.Although it is a public university that normally requires a common test for university admission, the common test for university admission is not imposed in the first year of its establishment.This can be said to be a privilege only for the first year.

Online study abroad destinations are Lithuania, Jerusalem, Malaysia / Borneo, India

 In addition to the public universities mentioned above, the Department of Entrepreneurship, Faculty of Entrepreneurship, Kanda University of International Studies and the Department of Global Liberal Arts, Faculty of Global Liberal Arts, Kanda University of International Studies are also interesting.Among them, the Faculty of Global Liberal Arts of Kanda University of International Studies requires an overseas study tour in the first year, and the destinations are Lithuanian, Jerusalem, Malaysia, Borneo, and India.Initially, students were supposed to choose one of these four locations, but now that they are unable to travel, they are planning to study abroad online.However, by studying abroad online, everyone will experience these four places, and it seems that valuable learning that cannot normally be obtained will be possible.Each place has an important meaning: Lithuania is "humanitarian", Jerusalem is "religion", Malaysia and Borneo is "sustainability", and India is "multicultural coexistence".It is unclear what the travel restrictions will be in the future, but normally everyone will study abroad at the State University of New York for a long time in the third year.The number of new global faculties and departments is settling down a little, but the number of faculties has increased accordingly.For that reason, when choosing a university, what kind of individuality the educational program has will be an important point of view.

 Comprehensive selection and school-recommended selection for newly established universities and faculties have already begun, but general selection is yet to come.If you feel something about the individuality of a new university or faculty, it is a good idea to dig deeper into the information as a new option.
