Features of the University
Four Features Unique to Eikei University of Hiroshima
Eikei University of Hiroshima (EUH) was established with the mission of cultivating individuals who can design social systems using the competencies essential for the society of the future.
We provide a large learning environment where the entire city of Hiroshima is your campus and a practical curriculum through collaboration with corporations, NPOs, international agencies, local public organizations, and more, as well as a multicultural campus life where students gain a wide-ranging sense of values and English competency.
This page introduces several attractive points and features unique to EUH and its urban campus.
Feature 01
Five Competencies
At EUH, we provide a curriculum that systematically encourages students to gain the five competencies necessary to pioneer the future: global collaboration, foresight, strategy, energetic drive, and self-improvement.
Students acquire knowledge and skills through liberal arts courses as well as tools courses on ICT, data science, and design thinking/system thinking. Furthermore, by repeating practical output through project-based learning (PBL) and experiential/practical programs, students deepen their learning and refine the practical skills needed to solve social issues. Our class style also incorporates small class sizes and active learning to allow students to learn proactively as we support the growth of each individual.

Feature 02
English for Diversity
EUH provides an environment where students can refine practical English skills and gain a diverse sense of values to collaborate with others.
For the first half-year after entering EUH, spring-entry students refine their English skills in our Intensive English Program (IEP). After that, all courses are offered in both Japanese and English, and the curriculum requires students to take at least half of their credits for graduation in English. Both in class and outside of class, students can place themselves in an environment where they encounter English daily. One in every four students is an international student, and there is an on-campus international dormitory. We also have diverse faculty and staff members, including those with active careers in their fields, and a Port support system consisting of about 40 students (10 students for each of the four years) and two or three faculty members with different fields of expertise, so students can experience multicultural interaction on a daily basis. Furthermore, through the overseas experiential/practical programs such as volunteering or internships, students can gain practical English skills and a global sense of values.

Collaboration with Society
EUH provides real-world learning to give students opportunities to learn about society, gain experience, and connect with people.
In collaboration with the Eikei University of Hiroshima Council of Practical Learning Platform, which consists of corporations, local governments, NPOs, international agencies, and other organizations cooperating in education at EUH, students learn practical skills through project-based learning (PBL) where they work to solve real-world problems faced by corporations or local governments, as well as experiential/practical programs such as internships and volunteering. Furthermore, as an initiative of the EUH Center for Partnership and Research Promotion, the Co-creation Project is underway to create new business for corporations participating in the Eikei University of Hiroshima Council of Practical Learning Platform. Students in their second year and later can participate in the Student Collaboration Project, where they team up with a corporation and receive support from faculty members with project management skills. Students can also practice the academic knowledge they have gained in society through other opportunities to make proposals and participate in EUH management in various ways.
