Three Philosophy and Two Purposes
- Creation of new knowledge based on the integration of education and research
- Research focusing on the world, especially in East Asia
- Education and research rooted in the community as an intellectual center of the community
The education and research of Shimonoseki City University is based on the above three principles.
- Training a well-balanced, well-educated and highly educated profession
- Contributing to the development of local communities and the international community
I'm aiming for it.
