Law degree

Learn the basics of university life by holding down the basics of "law"

You can also learn from the basics about legal subjects such as the Constitution, Civil Law, and Criminal Law, which you will not learn until you enter university. In addition, through introductory exercises and basic exercises for each course and program, you will acquire basic knowledge and skills such as reading comprehension and analytical skills.

Utilize the basic skills acquired through practical learning

Practical learning will be conducted for each course and program in order to improve the basic skills acquired in the first year. We will train you on the themes that are familiar to you, such as issues facing society and actual incidents, and how to think about how to solve them.

Highly specialized learning for each course or program

We will deepen our knowledge by dividing it into each specialized field. We will also prepare subjects for civil service exams and qualification exams to hone your legal thinking and at the same time promote learning for the future.

Toin University of Yokohama includes the Faculty of Law, the Faculty of Biomedical Engineering, and graduate schools for both faculties. In 2008, we added the Faculty of Culture and Sport Policy to further our position as a university. At Toin Gakuen, the university forms the second pillar of education that complements education at the primary and secondary levels. The university has deep roots in the local community and boasts a unique school tradition that puts the growth and maturity of students above all else. To become a first-class, globally competitive institution, we hold on to ideals that focus on the social demands of the 21st century. By placing a sizable focus on particular goals, we are able to offer top-level educational programs which overflow with individuality while simultaneously maintains measurable high quality.

Education at the Faculty of Law begins with a foundation in legal basics such as constitutional law, civil law, and criminal law. Upon this is built a firm understanding of the generalities and outlines of judicial precedents, which gives students an empirical grasp of the societal functions and ideological background of the law as a whole. The Faculty of Law features a specialized program that helps students gain the skills and qualifications needed to work in the legal profession in corporate legal offices or as lawyers, or in law-related occupations such as judicial clerks. We are steadily expanding our range of top-level career plans.

The Faculty of Biomedical Engineering has developed a hands-on learning style that features small undergraduate classes. At the same time, due to an expansion in graduate school, there has been a further merging of education and research, with undergraduate students being assigned to research laboratories. In these programs, they strive to achieve rapid qualitative improvement under the concept of “an undergraduate to graduate school continuum.”

The Faculty of Culture and Sport Policy has built a system for the study of sports and culture which consists of a new educational scheme that focuses on service and personal experience with the aim of training future sports coaches, local government policymakers, and elementary and junior high school instructors. We constantly incorporate scientific and technological theories into our curriculum in order to assume a cohesive and fresh outlook.

We devote ourselves to practical education because we believe that the strong intellectual curiosity, desire for social justice, and spirit of inquiry into the ordinary and extraordinary that our students possess are the keys to supplying what is lacking in modern society today.
