Faculty of Human Sciences/人間科学部
Exploration of the Human Sciences
The Faculty of Human Sciences was founded in 1976. For nearly half a century, the Faculty has committed to providing comprehensive training to address the multifaceted challenges within the realm of human and social dynamics. Presently, the Faculty comprises three Departments: the Department of Human Sciences, the Department of Clinical Psychology, and the Department of Psychology. Each of these Departments is driven by a shared objective to delve into the complexities of human society from an interdisciplinary approach manifested in the integrated insights derived from the diverse perspectives of psychology, sociology, education, community studies, social welfare, and cultural anthropology. This collaborative intellectual endeavor extends beyond the confines of individual Departments, fostering a synergistic exploration of knowledge that enriches a collective understanding of humanity. A hallmark of the Faculty is its transcendence of research methodologies from the laboratory setting to the practical domains of local communities, as well as the public and private sectors. The outcomes of such collaborative efforts are consistently remarkable, while its commitment lies in cultivating a profound sense of humanity resonating in the foundational ethos of Bunkyo University -‘Empathy for All Humanity’ .
