With the three areas of biological information measurement system, biological function control system, and system neuroengineering as the pillars of education and research, it is possible to accurately grasp the social situation and social needs of health and longevity, and integrate them with engineering seeds. We aim to train highly specialized engineers and researchers who have an intellectual background and can play an active role flexibly in a diversely changing society. In the area of ​​biometric information measurement systems, we conduct education and research on biometric monitoring systems and biometric information processing for the onset of pre-illness. The biological function control system provides education and research on the recovery of biological functions and assistive technologies. In the field of system neural engineering, we conduct education and research on the recovery of biological functions using neural functions and support systems. In addition, medical equipment and welfare equipment born from this education and research will be used for education and research on ubiquitous environment-related science to collaborate with people who live their daily lives.

The pillars are materials/structure, regional planning, and regional environment improvement. In the field of materials and structures, we will elucidate the ground characteristics and develop technologies related to structures in response to volcanic and earthquake disasters. In the field of regional planning, we will deal with depopulation and regional management issues in mountainous areas, public transportation issues associated with hollowing out of the city center and urban sprawl, and developing people-friendly areas with due consideration for the landscape. And consider the ideal way of planning. In the field of regional environment improvement, we handle technological development related to water environment improvement and air environment improvement with the aim of forming a recycling-oriented society. Each field promotes education and research in collaboration with other fields.

We will educate and research the theory and technology to build a social environment in harmony with nature, focusing on the two fields of architectural planning/design / environmental equipment and building structure/materials. In the field of architectural planning and design, we aim to dig deeper into the conceptual aspects of architectural design and ultimately educate architects and architectural engineers who can regard design as a social act. In the field of building structures and materials, we handle analytical theories on the structural mechanisms and behaviors of increasingly sophisticated and complex buildings and the performance of structures and conduct education and research on the creation of free building spaces

In recent years there have been considerable developments with the increasing sophistication and specialization of medical technology, and the demands placed on medical care for prefectural residents continue to grow more diverse as well. In the midst of this, there have been growing expectations when it comes to cultivating in-hospital educational instructors for nursing positions and fostering human resources with the advanced knowledge and skills for the radiological technology sector. Given such trends, Gunma Prefectural College of Health Sciences opened its graduate school (master’s courses) in April 2009 with the objective of contributing to raising the level of health and welfare in the region. Enrollment limit: 3 people Course term: 2 years Degree: Master’s (Radiology) * Cultivates human resources with advanced knowledge and skills who can deal with medical equipment that is constantly growing more sophisticated, such as CTs, MRIs, and that for heavy particle therapies

Enrollment limit: 8 people Course term: 2 years Degree: Master’s (Nursing) * Cultivates human resources who will serve as practical instructors that engage in in-hospital education and management at places like medical institutions
