St Luke’s International University

Looking towards a future of nursing education that produces nursing and other medical human resources with strong leadership qualities, the name of this nursing university, with its rich history of superior graduates who have actively contributed on the global nursing stage, was changed to St. Luke's International University on April 1, 2014. This change marks a dramatic change since Dr. Teusler established St. Luke's Hospital and got involved in nursing education. This new relation between education and clinical practice leads us to a new stage.

This University, grounded in the spirit of Christianity, seeks to cultivate nursing professionals who can contribute to nursing healthcare in Japan and worldwide, through the interrelated disciplines of education, clinical practice, and research.

At present we aim to develop the quality of education by implementing active learning and simulation-based training methods, promoting internationalization and establishing more departments and related graduate schools.

We will continue to enhance nursing education and research, including the education of other medical-related personnel to provide high-quality medical care and actively maximize medical services in practice.

The aim of the Undergraduate School of Nursing, grounded in the spirit of Christianity, is to cultivate leaders with specialized training in the nursing healthcare professions. In particular, the school seeks to contribute to progress in nursing and nursing education through the academically based clinical training and praxis of students which will enable them to acquire the scientific nursing-related knowledge required in the areas of treatment and prevention guidance, to strive for technical proficiency, to cultivate sound character, and to equip themselves with the capacity for leadership.

The aim of the Graduate School of Nursing of St. Luke’s International University, in accordance with the University’s Founding Spirit, is to contribute to the advancement of humanity through in-depth teaching, research and immersion in nursing theory/practice to foster the thorough academic knowledge/research skills underlying advanced clinical practice.
