Christian Education
Nagasaki University of Foreign Studies was established to carry out the spirit of Christian education (School Regulations, First Article). For this reason, the school offers programs in Christianity (School Regulations, Second Article). A brief outline is listed below. The school chaplain and committee on religion are responsible for the implementation and management of these programs.
1. Chaplain
Associate Professor Konishi Tetsuro is responsible for Christian education programs and religious guidance on campus.
2. Curriculum in Christianity
The Curriculum in Christianity provides cultural knowledge about Christianity. The “Christianity I” and “Christianity II” courses are required for degree programs. (This does not apply to short-term international students in the JASIN and NICS programs.)
