As stated in the "Research Institute's Joint Theme", the Institute for Psychological and Physical Science is composed of the Department of Psychology, the Department of Health Science and the Department of Health and Nutrition to form the Faculty of Psychological and Physical Science. This is a unique facility aimed at building an integrated "Psychological and Physical Science", where teaching staff from the three different academic disciplines of psychology, health science and nutrition exchange research ideas and collaborate on practical activities.
In order to achieve this objective at our research facility, we intend to assemble the wisdom of the Psychological and Physical Science faculty members as well as others both inside and outside of the faculty. We humbly ask for support and cooperation from the parties concerned in regard to this university's Institute for Psychological and Physical Science .
