https://www.hmn.shimane-u.ac.jp/19The Faculty of Human Sciences, founded in 2017, aims for the fundamental understanding of human beings and applies that knowledge to people, particularly in the local community. The mission of the faculty is to construct a so-ciety where people live by their own values. The multidisciplinary academic staff tackle issues across various research fields: psychol-ogy, social welfare, and health sciences. Our educational programs enable students to com-prehensively understand mental, physical, and social aspects of human life. To acquire both practical and scientific attitudes, students are given opportunities to practice in local commu-nities from their first year to their fourth year and integrate these experiences with scientific thoughts and theories. Interactive Presentation Meeting (IPM) is a distinctive class in which the students present and discuss with each other their research and experiences, which exceed their specialties. Through coursework, students are encouraged to develop communi-cation skills and address issues in cooperation with people from various backgrounds. Gradu-ates are expected to be specialists in human services, public services, and business with sufficient knowledge and practical interperson-al skills.Faculty ofHumanSciences
