Learning Key Points
01. Training health and physical education teachers through practical, field-oriented learning
Our Faculty was established in 1955 as the first school of physical education in western Japan. The curriculum is centered on obtaining a teaching license in health and physical education, with a strong emphasis on practical skills through a wide range of physical activities. This hands-on approach equips students with the knowledge and abilities needed in real educational settings. Many graduates are now active as educators.
02. Contributing to the community through physical education
The communication and presentation skills developed in our Faculty are valuable across a wide range of career paths. Students are equipped to become leaders who can guide organizations and play key roles in building community, promoting lifelong sports, and advancing leisure education in local society.
03. Plenty of support to find jobs as a government employee and to acquire qualifications
One of the strengths of Tenri University is its solid track record in preparing students for careers in public service. Many graduates—especially from the Department of Physical Education—go on to serve successfully as police officers. The University also offers strong support for obtaining various qualifications, including those for sports trainers.
