Nagasaki Wesleyan University opened in 2002 in commemoration of the 120th anniversary of the founding of Chinzei Gakuin in response to the strong wishes of—and with the robust support of—sister schools worldwide as well as its local community.
The University’s parent organization, Chinzei Gakuin, has long pursued the goal of educating students to love God and their fellow man in kee...ping with the two primary tenets of Christianity. We further developed that school motto for use in a university setting, adopting the cultivation of brotherly love, characterized by love of God and one’s fellow man, as NWU’s educational mission.
The term Wesleyan refers to a follower of the teachings of 18th century English cleric and social activist John Wesley, whose World Mission gave rise to a major branch of Protestant Christianity that went on to flourish in the United States. He taught that believers could renew themselves through a process of sanctification driven by devout faith in God, thereby fulfilling the first commandment to “love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.” Individuals possessed of a strong, deep bond with God naturally love others and strive to bring that love to bear in the world, thereby fulfilling the second commandment to “love your neighbor as yourself.” Wesley’s teachings were passed down and spread around the world as the key to leading a life with a sense of mission. In this way, the term Wesleyan came to signify a follower of Wesley’s teachings.
American missionary Dr. C.S. Long founded Cobley Seminary in Higashiyamate district of the city of Nagasaki in 1881, urging his students, “Boys be Christian gentlemen.” The seminary became Chinzei Gakuin, an institution that continues to pursue its mission today, 125 years later.
Nagasaki Wesleyan University has dedicated itself to the mission of educating students in the spirit of brotherly love in this new era. To fulfill this mission, we have embraced the following three goals:

• To cultivate devotion in chapel activities that give life to the university’s founding spirit.
• To nurture a spirit of social welfare supported by love of one’s neighbors.
• To foster the development of individuals who will create peace in their local communities and the world.

At Nagasaki Wesleyan University, we see our mission as fostering the development of global citizens who will link local communities and the world. To that end, our programs emphasize not only the study of knowledge and technology related to social welfare, but also hands-on experience in the real world. Among other advantages, this approach provides an opportunity to master a broad array of communication skills, including proficiency in English and other languages.
NWU has introduced a seminar system starting with freshmen and progressing through all four years of its program as an integral part of the curriculum. A focus on small-group instruction allows faculty to provide fine-grained support to students. Seminars, a required part of the curriculum, cover basic subject matter for freshmen and sophomores, followed by more specialized topics for upperclassmen. The seminar format affords the University a means of offering across-the-board support for students’ life at school; seminar instructors act as student advisors and provide individual academic guidance for underclassmen.
Our fine-grained support system also incorporates components designed to aid students in earning various professional qualifications and passing employment examinations.
