Gifu Women"s University is located on the outskirts of Gifu City in Gifu Prefecture, in the very center of the Japanese Archipelago. Positioned in a semi-rural area, very conducive to concentrated learning, Gifu Women"s University enjoys a good reputation for women"s education, and has produced a great number of graduates during its half-century history. Those graduates in turn continue to play... an active and important role in their respective communities.
In 2016, Gifu Women"s celebrate its 70th anniversary since the founding of the Kayo Educational Institution, and the 50th anniversary of the university itself. At this milestone, the university wishes to open a new and diverse chapter in women"s education.
Gifu Women"s University provides a first-class education for promising young women, and through partnerships with local businesses and communities, it aims to contribute to the prosperity of the region. Gifu Women"s University aims to nurture leaders with a strong sense of public responsibility and a pioneering spirit; women who not only possess professional skills, but also a wide and diverse range of knowledge. Gifu Women"s University aims to expand the boundaries of basic knowledge in compliance with the needs of its local society.
At Gifu Women"s University, we provide students with a strong basic education along with specific fields of education: the combination of which nurtures creativity, fair judgment, and personal elegance. There are two Faculties: the Faculty of Home Economics and the Faculty of Cultural Development. Students are expected to contribute to the local community with their specialized knowledge, and each faculty runs a number of workshops which opens this avenue up to students. Students are also urged to obtain multiple qualifications and licenses, depending on their department or major, and befitting each student"s forte and personality. At Gifu Women"s University, we also focus on the needs of the family, the locality, and the nation.
Student focused education is one characteristic of learning at Gifu Women"s University. Each student has an advisor. Each advisor will take on the role of class room teacher as well as being a mentor to each individual student. That is, should a student, for some reason, not be able to achieve the necessary grades for passing on to the next year, her advisor will give her encouragement and due consultation.
Another feature is the double major system, not prevalent in Japan, but used by many of the students here. This system, where students major in one area, but can also gain substantial credits from other departments, facilitates the attainment of multiple credentials, thereby making the graduates of GWU extremely sought-after personnel.
Gifu Women"s University encourages students to find jobs in their own local community. University policy assures students the opportunity of going back to their hometown or community if they so desire.
Fulfilling the wishes of the founder of the university, Gifu Women"s University encourages students to use their newly learned skills to play an important role in revitalizing their home towns or local communities. In order to promote this return to own homeland, Centre staff visit many companies in which alumni work or which are located in regions of attending students. Through visiting those companies, the university is able to set up a vast network and collect information concerning the needs of each region. It is, therefore, not surprising that over 80% of our students settle into jobs in areas in or near where they grew up.
