Juntendo University Graduate School of Medicine positions medicine as a total science focused on humankind, offering a forum for education and research to understand and put into practice ever-advancing medical knowledge and technologies, and to master the ability to update them ourselves.
Our goal is to nurture physicians and medical scientists to become not only scientists, but also highly sensitive individuals with a well-rounded education. In other words, it is a center for education and research to nurture leaders and practitioners
of medicine and medical care at the international level, who are imbued with the spirit of our motto, jin (benevolence).
Based on Juntendo’s fundamental principles and strong ethical perspective, we have set ourselves the goal of cultivating basic medical scientists and clinical physicians with the willingness to dedicate their lives to medicine, and physician-scientists
capable of moving between both realms, thereby ultimately creating people who will provide relief to all those who are suffering, whether physically or mentally. We also strive to put in place environmental enhancements. Since the 2012 academic year,
lectures have taken place in Century Tower, a lecture building equipped with an ICT environment that links Juntendo’s campuses and affiliated hospitals via a dedicated network, enabling students to attend lectures remotely. We offer tuition fee reductions
for graduate students who achieve outstanding academic and research results.

Andrea, Student, Graduate School of Medicine
Within the Department of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine, the supervisors are highly knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely supportive. They make sincere efforts to build meaningful bridges with international students, creating a respectful and encouraging academic space. Juntendo University has provided an environment in which I can grow and thrive in proportion to the effort I invest.
Khin, Student, Graduate School of Medicine
I am currently pursuing Ph.D. in Tropical Medicine at Juntendo University. I truly enjoy being part of our laboratory, where all staff members are global-minded, supportive towards international students, and always willing to share insightful academic knowledge. Coming from Myanmar, I initially felt a significant technology gap, but their positive attitude and encouragement helped me grow in every aspect. My research journey has been smooth due to stress-free and ‘feels-like-home’ environment at Juntendo University. Since a Ph.D. is such a long journey, I believe maintaining healthy research-life balance is essential, and I genuinely appreciate that I can achieve this here. I also value the opportunities to experience Japanese culture and make new friends through International Center events, as well as the chance to learn Japanese for free. These experiences have enriched my life both inside and outside the lab, and I am grateful for them.
