The founding philosophy of Kyorin University is the “Pursuit of Truth, Goodness, and Beauty”. With this spirit in mind, through education, research and clinical studies, our university is making every effort to produce useful and promising graduates who can contribute to society in various fields. We foster graduates who have the essential abilities to think by themselves, express themselves and learn from others. They will also have a cosmopolitan outlook.

It is my hope that in this university, the students will master scientific viewpoints, analytical thinking, fundamental rules of society and mutual understanding while remaining modest and considerate individuals.

On our campuses, which are blessed with a beautiful natural environment, I wish all students to enjoy youth, make life-long friends, talk about life with each other, and gain a broad outlook on both domestic and international issues. We are always ready to support those who wish to strive toward self-improvement and higher goals.

Kyorin University is a comprehensive university comprised of four faculties: the School of Medicine, the Faculty of Health Sciences, the Faculty of Social Sciences, and the Faculty of Foreign Studies. The university consists of two campuses, one in Hachioji city and one in Mitaka city. Our Mitaka campus is home to Kyorin University Hospital, which is one of the most prominent teaching hospitals in Japan and provides crucial educational opportunities for students in the School of Medicine, the Faculty of Health Sciences, and the Nursing School.

When I consider our founding spirit of Truth, Goodness, and Beauty, I believe these virtues can best be realized through an educational policy emphasizing action. It is not enough to simply discuss and analyze various issues. We must transform our findings into concrete action. It is only through the dedicated practice of acting within our world that we may create the change we desire.

All members of our university, including faculty, staff, and students, are strongly encouraged to act. We must be willing to take measures that may sometimes be painstaking in order to generate and benefit from a wide variety of experiences. Your efforts and experiences during your university days will affect you throughout your lives, by both contributing to who you are as a person, and providing a valuable asset upon which you can rely.

Through positive action compatible with our founding spirit of Truth, Goodness, and Beauty, we can develop into capable international citizens, enthusiastic about our role in shaping the world around us.
