When you are admitted to the Osaka University School of Allied Health Sciences, you will spend the first 18 months (first, second and third semesters) at Toyonaka Campus studying general educational subjects and core subjects related to your specialty along with students from different faculties and departments. Students shall make friends with those who study different fields, and the friendship of this sort may become very important and meaningful later in their lives.

General educational course are basic educational courses, which all the enrolled students at Osaka University must take. The goals of these courses are for students to obtain a holistic understanding of various social problems and to learn effective decision-making.
