A course that fosters creating a safe, secure, and fulfilling life based on human characteristics.

The Human Life Design and Science Course trains students to understand and conceptualize the way of life from a bird's eye view based on human characteristics and advanced science and technology, and to be able to apply this knowledge toward the realization of the ideal way of life. Specifically, we aim to develop individuals who understand human physiological, morphological, behavioral, and psychological characteristics, who can rethink our way of life based on human sensitivity and creativity, who can apply and integrate knowledge to create a scientifically and culturally richer life, and who have the cutting-edge scientific knowledge to realize a safe, secure, and more desirable way of life for humanity.

  • To create a safe, secure, and more desirable way of life for humanity based on advanced science and technology by seeing the way of life from a bird’s eye view and exploring human physiological, morphological and behavioral characteristics, sensitivity and creativity.

    This course provides students opportunities to conceptualize the way of life and provides educational subjects on human characteristics, science and technology, and lifescape design necessary to create mono, services, systems, and living environments for realizing a safe, secure, and more desirable life, thereby deepening their specialized knowledge.
    In addition to lecture subjects, project subjects are also provided for students to acquire practical skills.
    Students who want to study broadly and acquire comprehensive skills can acquire cross-disciplinary knowledge and skills by actively taking subjects not only in their own major but also in other majors.
