School of Nursing

The School of Nursing dates back to 1889 when an institute was established at the hospital for the education of midwives. Since that time there have been many changes and additions to the curriculum. In 2002 the school became part of the medical faculty of KPUM. The school now boosts around 9,000 graduates who have set out to work and contribute to public health all over Japan. At present the school accepts around 85 students a year to start a four year course in nursing. Classes are given at the Hirokoji Campus located between the University Hospital and imperial palace. The mission of the school is to educate nurses and health workers, with respect for human dignity and a high level of specialized knowledge and skills.
