Бакалавр медицины

The basic principle of the Faculty of Medicine lies in substantive contributions as a highly-advanced regional medical center to the development of medical science and nursing and the progress of regional health services. We are dedicated to carrying out a tripartite mission of providing good medical education, conducting quality research, and rendering first-rate services in comprehensive medical diagnosis and treatment, and training professionals capable of satisfactorily meeting the often-changing needs of modern society. Under this principle, the course of Medicine aims at educating and training physicians who, in their creative practice of medicine, will be capable of grasping problems they encounter from a bioethical and sociocultural point of view as well as from a science-based medical point of view. The course of Nursing aims at educating and training nursing professionals with high regard for nursing ethics, capable of grasping health-related problems in a holistic manner and of solving such problems with expertise and flexibility.

Reflecting on the history of Saga University, we recollect that Saga University was first established in 1949 from the pre-World War II Saga High School, Saga Teaching College, and Saga Youth Teaching College. Subsequently, Saga Medical University, set up in 1976 as the only national medical college in Saga Prefecture, was integrated into Saga University in 2003. Further, Saga Prefectural Arita Ceramics College, located in the area from which the famous Arita ceramics take their name, was integrated in 2016. Through these integrations, Saga University now boasts six faculties: Education, Art, and Regional Design, Economics, Medicine, Science and Engineering, and Agriculture; and seven graduate schools: Teacher Education, Regional Design, Advanced Health Science, Medicine, Science and Engineering, Engineering, and Agriculture. In its role as a national university, Saga University is promoting and developing education, research, and activities that contribute to life in the local community on its three campuses at Honjo, Nabeshima, and Arita.
