Sophia University from its founding to the present has been dedicated to student-centered education and research. The results can be seen in the wide range of activities our graduates are engaged in as they contribute to society in various ways.
Information about Sophia's education and research, which have produced such good results, has previously been available within the campus. Now, in order to reach a wider audience outside the university, a database has been compiled to provide information on the education and research being done by Sophia teachers.
By producing this database and exchanging information, we are aiming at an even higher level of education and research. I look forward to a database that will be productive for both senders and receivers.
