Message from the Director of IUHW Graduate School of Public Health

Students systematically study five basic subject areas in the first term of the first year, after which they select a division of interest to study further under the tutelage and guidance of our experienced teaching faculty. The Akasaka campus boasts professors with extensive expertise in various fields including health economics research, epidemiology research, and medical big data analysis. Meanwhile the Narita Campus offers opportunities to conduct joint studies on international health with other countries, and also carry out collaborative research on infectious diseases with the International Research Center for Infectious Diseases, which are also specialty areas of this program.
