Sophia University inherits the Jesuit educational spirit “for Others, with Others”. We believe that the existence of all humanity is good and all are equal in dignity. Therefore, it is our ambition that the entire student body works diligently while employing the best of their abilities, so they can be useful human resources to others.

In addition to the University’s philosophy, based on the “Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities” adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 2006, we will eliminate unfair and discriminatory treatment of students with disabilities while promoting study and research by discussing with each student the best course of action. Sophia University will provide reasonable accommodation* to students who require extra assistance.

In addition, all students will deepen their understanding of disabilities, practice actions with the perspective of the individual with a disability in mind, and aim for a symbiotic society.
