Bachelor in Klinischer Psychologie

The Department of Clinical Psychology aims to foster specialists in psychological care by helping students to develop their self-awareness and learn about human relationships. Students can acquire a viewpoint of objective problem analysis based on a solid foundation unaffected by prejudice or transitional trends in research methods. This is achieved through basic experiments and counseling techniques to teach the basic attitudes and moral values necessary in human interaction.

Teaching staff plays vital roles in different fields, as seen in the Psychological Clinical Center. They provide students with higher education by passing on awareness of problems and actual situations that they bring directly from real cases to lectures and training sessions.

It has been nearly 70 years since Sapporo Gakuin University emerged from its fledgling predecessor, Sapporo Bunka Senmon Gakuin (Sapporo College of Liberal Arts). Within that span, it evolved into Sapporo Junior College, then Sapporo College of Commerce, and flourished into a liberal arts university, currently with five faculties, nine departments, and three graduate schools.

It can well be stated that the spirit which underlay the foundation of the original Sapporo Senmon Bunka Gakuin still serves as the cornerstone for the philosophy of Sapporo Gakuin University today, and as a guide for all of its academic and co-curricular pursuits.
