Nagasaki University is a multi-faculty university, located in Nagasaki, one

of the oldest cities in Japan. It has nine faculties/schools and seven
11．Features of University graduate schools, and comprises three campus sites, in Bunkyo, Sakamoto
and Katafuchi. The total area of the university, including affiliated
facilities, is 662,000m2.
Through the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant accident in March 2011, it
was revealed that we currently face a shortage of experts, including nurses and
public health nurses, in the field of disaster and radiation exposure medical
science, such as emergency radiation exposure medical services professionals and
radiation health risk communications specialists. In the future, the spread of
radiation diagnoses/therapies, and personnel training in the field of disaster and
radiation exposure medical science, will be huge challenges in Japan and abroad,
12．Features of Graduate School especially in other Asian countries where the construction of nuclear power plants
is progressing.
Since Nagasaki University and Fukushima Medical University made a great efforts
in radiation exposure medical science and radiation risk science, the institutions
both gained valuable experience from the Great East Japan Earthquake, and
education faculties in disaster medical science opened the “Disaster and Radiation
Medical Sciences,” taking advantage of the best characteristics of each university
to begin personnel training in this field.
This course will train students in how to deal with various disasters, including
13．Features and Curriculum of radiation accidents, based on specialized knowledge. The program will include
Program medical treatment and crisis communication at the time of a disaster, planning and
disaster prevention efforts, and providing mental care before and after a disaster.
After enrollment, in the first year, students will enroll in the common, basic
subjects that are requirement for both courses. Subsequently, they will enroll in
14．Academic Schedule specialized subjects according to their respective courses. In the second year,
students complete the specialized practical training program, conduct a research
