University of Tsukuba
Based on ARIHHP’s advanced research and collaborations with industry, academia and government, it provides an educational program in “Health and Sport Sciences for Human High Performance”, in conjunction with a doctoral program in Physical Education, Health and Sport Sciences. Those who
complete the program are given the title of “Sports Research Innovator”.
This program aims to train next-generation researchers, who will take on social issues, such as the declining vitality of people and society, and who have both “innovative research abilities” in advanced research and “collaborative problem-solving abilities” in practical fields, through the development and
application of basic technology in Human High Performance.
In the program, we provide an interdisciplinary, practical and international curriculum founded on project-based research through an interdisciplinary faculty team.
Those who want to study in ARIHHP as graduate students should contact their designated faculty member, who can be found on the website, and ask for advice about research, mentorship and future career possibilities.
ARIHHP faculty members teach in the degree programs at the Graduate School of Comprehensive Human Sciences, University of Tsukuba listed below.
The Educational Program in Health and Sport Sciences for Human High Performance aims to train next-generation doctoral personnel who can overcome the three traditional scientific obstacles: obstacles between basic research and application, obstacles between fields, and language obstacles. The program provides the next-generation classes listed below.
Students examine how to apply health and sport sciences in practice through visiting schools, communities and companies.
