Greeting

The Health and Sports Science Unit, which is a Top Global University Project education and research unit, aims to function as an international hub for education and research in health and sports science that draws outstanding human resources from around the world. In order to build a leading global university and an education system with an international interface that facilitates the free exchange of education and research, we have initiated new programs, including a system for acquiring a degree in English, a system for acquiring a degree through a double/joint degree program, short-term invitations for non-Japanese teaching staff through joint appointments, and overseas training for postgraduate students. We have also strengthened our international collaborations with top universities overseas in the sports science area and have been actively encouraging the hosting of outstanding foreign students and overseas study for the students of Waseda University. Moreover, in order to employ top teaching staff and researchers from around the world, we have created mechanisms for widely recruiting teaching staff who meet global standards from all over the world. Through these initiatives, we will create a place where outstanding researchers and teaching staff from all over the world in health and sports science can come and go freely in order to connect the world as one.
