【The spirit behind the university】

Human beings, an amalgam of mind and body, are social animals that have continued to evolve throughout history. To live robustly in the twenty-first century each one of us needs a firm sense of values based on a new perspective and viewpoint and the decision-making ability and courage to create the future. This means studying humanity in terms of mind, body, and culture, engaging in integrated, interdisciplinary, scientific inquiry. With the establishment of the Faculty of Human Sciences, which offers a new, integrated approach to learning, University of Human Arts and Sciences aims to cultivate vigorous human resources endowed with a true understanding of humanity, a sense of self-responsibility, and a spirit of togetherness.
