A Thorough Explanation of Teikyo University's Midwifery Program: Competition Ratios, Past Exams, General Nursing, Statement of Purpose, and Interviews

We will provide a detailed explanation of Teikyo University's Midwifery Program, including the number of students to be admitted, entrance exam schedules, the general nursing written exam, past exam questions, the 800-character statement of purpose, interviews, eligibility requirements, and tuition fees.

Teikyo University's Midwifery Program is a one-year midwife training course located at the Itabashi Campus in Itabashi Ward, Tokyo. The admission quota is 15 students. The entrance exam consists of a general nursing specialty subject, an interview, and a document review including a statement of purpose.

There is no separate essay exam independent of the English exam. Furthermore, since there are three entrance exam opportunities—Term I, Term II, and Term III—it appears to be more accessible than other midwifery programs in the Tokyo metropolitan area.

However, the written exam for 'General Nursing' is not limited to maternal nursing. It covers a wide range of topics, including psychiatric nursing, geriatric nursing, adult nursing, pediatric nursing, social security systems, the nursing process, and calculation problems. Additionally, the sections on maternal and neonatal nursing include questions with a difficulty level close to that of the national midwife examination.

Teikyo University is not a school where you only need to focus on maternal nursing.

The entrance exam comprehensively evaluates not only the broad foundational knowledge required as a nurse but also deeper knowledge regarding pregnancy, childbirth, the postpartum period, and newborns, as well as writing skills and the purpose for studying to become a midwife.

Please note that while the university's entrance exam document download page indicates that 2027 entrance exam information has been posted, as of July 26, 2026, the detailed guidelines actually available for download from the Midwifery Program are the '2026 Entrance Examination Guidelines.' Be sure to check for the latest PDF for the next academic year's schedule. The basic admission structure and exam content for the program are explained here based on current official information and past exam reports.

About Teikyo University's Midwifery Program

Teikyo University's Midwifery Program is a one-year course established in April 2014. The Itabashi Campus is adjacent to the university's affiliated hospital, allowing students to study midwifery in an environment close to a university hospital that provides advanced medical care.

The education is built on the pillars of community medicine, team medical care, and advanced medical care. The goal is to foster not only a wide range of knowledge and skills related to midwifery but also the ability to support health and rights related to human sexuality and reproduction, the social mission of a midwife, and the ability to contribute to community maternal and child health.

Applicants are expected to possess the following three qualities:

Sufficient foundational nursing skills

A strong interest in and enthusiasm for reproductive health and rights

High communication skills

This admission policy is directly reflected in the structure of the entrance exam.

Foundational nursing skills are assessed through the 'General Nursing' written exam, interest and enthusiasm through the statement of purpose (up to 800 characters), and communication skills through the interview. When preparing for Teikyo University, it is necessary to ensure consistency across these three evaluation criteria rather than preparing for the written exam, application documents, and interview separately.

Qualifications obtainable upon completion

Upon completing the prescribed course, you can aim for the following qualification:

Eligibility to take the national midwife examination

Conception Control Practical Instructor

Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP) Certification

Being able to learn Neonatal Resuscitation within the curriculum is one of the features of Teikyo University. Immediately after birth, a newborn makes a rapid transition from the intrauterine environment to the extrauterine environment. The knowledge and skills to perform initial care while evaluating respiration, heart rate, and muscle tone for infants who have delayed onset of breathing or require ventilation assistance immediately after birth are essential for midwives involved in perinatal care.

The number of students to be admitted is 15.

The number of students to be admitted to the Teikyo University Midwifery Program is 15, and the duration of study is one year.

This is more than the 10 students at the Tokyo Metropolitan University Midwifery Program and is the same scale as the Tokyo Healthcare University Midwifery Program.

However, the figure of 15 does not mean that 15 students are recruited for each admission category. It must be considered as the total number of students to be admitted to the entire program, combining the first, second, and third terms.

If the planned number of entrants is secured through early selection, the number of available spots may decrease as the terms progress. Since the university does not disclose the number of students to be admitted for each term, we do not know:

• how many students will be accepted in the first term

• how many spots will remain for the second term

• or how many students will actually be accepted in the third term

until the results are out.

Having three opportunities to take the exam is an advantage, but waiting until the third term does not necessarily make it easier to pass. If you are making Teikyo University a top choice, the basic approach is to take the exam starting from the first term, when it is considered that the most admission spots remain.

There are three entrance exams: the first, second, and third terms.

For the 2026 entrance exam, where details can be confirmed, the following three terms were set.

First Term

The application period was from August 25 to September 4, 2025, the exam date was September 18, and the results were announced on September 25.

Second Term

The application period was from October 14 to October 23, 2025, the exam date was November 8, and the results were announced on November 25.

Third Term

The application period was from February 9 to February 18, 2026, the exam date was March 4, and the results were announced on March 12.

All exam venues are at the Teikyo University Itabashi Campus.

Since there is an entrance exam in March, it serves as an important option for those who were unable to pass a midwifery training program by the autumn.

On the other hand, the third round overlaps with the period around the National Nursing Examination. New graduates must simultaneously prepare for the National Nursing Examination, graduation exams, clinical practice, and the written and interview portions of the midwifery program entrance exam.

Furthermore, it is required to have passed the National Nursing Examination and obtained a nursing license by the time of enrollment. Even if you pass the entrance exam for the midwifery program, your admission will be revoked if you do not pass the National Nursing Examination.

Competition Ratio for the Teikyo University Midwifery Program

While Teikyo University publicly states that the enrollment capacity for the midwifery program is 15 students, it does not publish the number of applicants, examinees, or successful candidates by year on its official entrance exam page.

Therefore, it is not possible to calculate an exact competition ratio from official figures, unlike Tokyo Metropolitan University, which has a ratio of 10.4x, or Tokyo Healthcare University, which has a ratio of approximately 4.1x.

In exam reports submitted to our school, it has been confirmed that there were examinees with exam numbers in the 20s. However, the exam number does not necessarily represent the total number of examinees on the day, and the competitive situation varies depending on whether it was the first, second, or third round of selection. Therefore, it is impossible to calculate the competition ratio simply by saying, 'Since more than 20 people took the exam, the ratio is X'.

At this moment, all that can be said accurately is:

• The enrollment capacity is 15 students

• There are three entrance exam opportunities

• The number of students recruited for each period is not disclosed

• Official annual competition ratios cannot be confirmed

• There are reports of examinees with numbers at least in the 20s

This is as far as we can go.

Is Teikyo University a hidden gem?

The Teikyo University Midwifery Program has elements that could make it a hidden gem.

First, there are three entrance exams. Second, there is no English test and no independent essay test. Tuition is not as low as at Tokyo Metropolitan University, and for those from outside the university, it exceeds 2 million yen for one year, so some people exclude it from their list of schools for financial reasons.

On the other hand, it is adjacent to a university hospital in the Tokyo metropolitan area and has an enrollment capacity of 15 students. Since there is no English in the entrance exam subjects, the conditions are set for applicants to gather.

Therefore, Teikyo University cannot be concluded as

a clear hidden gem school where it has been confirmed that the competition ratio is low

.

More accurately, the assessment is

.

Compared to the most difficult schools like Tokyo Metropolitan University, which have competition ratios around 10 times, Teikyo University can be a realistic choice for a concurrent application. However, since the competition ratio is not published, it is dangerous to advertise it as an 'absolute hidden gem'.

The entrance exam subject is 'General Nursing'

The selection of successful applicants is based on a comprehensive evaluation of the following three components:

Specialized subject exam

Interview

Document screening such as the statement of purpose

The name of the specialized subject is 'General Nursing'. The exam time is 90 minutes from 9:30 AM to 11:00 AM, and both multiple-choice and descriptive questions are included. The interview follows starting at 11:15 AM.

The biggest feature of Teikyo University is that the specialized subject is 'General Nursing' rather than 'Maternal Nursing'.

Just because it is a midwife training program does not mean you only need to study pregnancy, labor, postpartum, and neonates. Questions are drawn from the entire scope of basic nursing education.

Written exam insights from past examinee reports

The written exam consists of knowledge questions on general nursing, knowledge questions on maternal and neonatal nursing, and descriptive questions.

Approximately 50 multiple-choice questions

Every year, questions 1 through 50 consist of 4 to 5-choice multiple-choice questions.

The question format is

• Select the incorrect one

• Select the appropriate one

• Select two

These patterns are mixed together. In short, it is almost the same as the national examination.

It is not just simple questions with one correct answer. If you overlook "select the incorrect one" or "select two," you will lose points even if you have the knowledge.

General nursing is not just maternal nursing

From question 1 to around question 23, a wide range of nursing questions similar to the national nursing examination and nursing mock exams will be asked. This means that your usual ability will directly translate into your score.

Psychiatric Nursing

Topics include alcohol dependence, schizophrenia, tertiary prevention, and social support.

You need to know not only the symptoms of psychiatric disorders but also distinguish between stages of prevention and the systems that support community life.

Gerontological Nursing and Social Security

Social resources, staffing at geriatric health services facilities, and long-term care security systems are being asked.

Facility functions, staffing, and the long-term care insurance system are frequently asked topics in the national nursing examination as well. You need to organize not just the names, but also the target population, legal basis, staff allocation, and roles. This is also patterned.

Pediatric Nursing

Recently, a question about teeth appeared. Basic knowledge of pediatric nursing, such as the eruption timing of primary and permanent teeth, the number of teeth, and their relationship to growth and development, is also included in the scope. Since these are common, simple questions that often appear in the national exam requirements, you cannot afford to miss such ultra-basic questions.

Adult Nursing and Fundamental Nursing

Questions such as the proper position in the supine position and the calculation of intravenous drip rates have been asked. For drip rate calculations, simply memorizing the formula is not enough. You need to accurately read the infusion volume, administration time, and the drip factor of the infusion set, and perform the calculation with consistent units. Since calculators cannot be used, you also need the ability to process calculations quickly by hand. That said, it is just arithmetic level. You cannot afford to miss this either.

About half is Maternal Nursing and Neonatal Nursing

Questions from around 24 to 50 were centered on maternal nursing. There are things like the following:

• Total fertility rate and year-on-year comparison

• Calculation of the Bishop score

• Right Occiput Posterior (ROP) position

• Neonatal jaundice

• Social security system

• Healthy Parents and Children 21

• Systems regarding spousal violence

• Pregnancy notification by foreign residents

Even under the name of Maternal Nursing, it is not just about the physiology of pregnancy and childbirth. It includes maternal and child health statistics, administrative policies, laws, and responses to foreign expectant mothers, but all of these are very basic, common questions. You could say they are questions that anyone should be able to solve.

You even need to be able to calculate the Bishop score

The Bishop score is an index used to evaluate the ripeness of the cervix when considering induction of labor.

Cervical dilation, effacement, fetal station, cervical consistency, and position are each assigned a score.

In entrance exams, just knowing the name will not earn you points. You must be able to read each item from the internal examination findings provided in the case study and calculate the total score.

Unless you understand the clinical significance of whether cervical ripening is progressing, you will not be able to handle questions where the wording has been changed. The Bishop score can be called a staple of midwifery school entrance exam questions. In short, it is something you are expected to be able to do!

Understand fetal position and presentation in three dimensions

The Right Occiput Posterior (ROP) position is an item that is easy to get confused about if you rely solely on rote memorization. You must determine the state where the fetal presenting part is the occiput and the occiput is located on the mother's right side, based on the positional relationship between the mother and the fetus. It is necessary to think by connecting the fetus's back, limbs, heart sound auscultation site, and internal examination findings. Midwives determine the fetal position and presentation and continuously evaluate the progress of labor. You need to understand not just the terminology, but also three-dimensionally which direction the fetus is facing within the mother's pelvis and how it rotates.

Physiological jaundice is not enough for neonatal jaundice

For neonatal jaundice, it is necessary to understand the relationship between the breakdown of fetal-type red blood cells, the immaturity of the liver's bilirubin conjugation ability, and enterohepatic circulation.

Furthermore,

• Physiological jaundice

• Early-onset jaundice

• Prolonged jaundice

• Breast milk jaundice

• Hemolytic jaundice

• Kernicterus

You must be able to distinguish between these and identify abnormalities based on the time of onset, changes in bilirubin levels, feeding status, excretion, and neurological symptoms.

In the entrance examination for the Midwifery Program, you are tested not only on your knowledge of normal progression but also on your ability to identify deviations from the norm at an early stage.

Descriptive questions are also included.

Teikyo University's written exam is not just a multiple-choice test.

The following descriptive questions have been confirmed.

A question asking to explain nursing diagnosis based on the nursing process.

Simply defining the term 'nursing diagnosis' in one sentence is insufficient.

You must explain where nursing diagnosis fits within the nursing process—which includes information gathering, assessment, identification of nursing problems, goal setting, planning, implementation, and evaluation—and how it captures the subject's response.

Considering that Teikyo University's admission policy requires 'sufficient basic nursing ability,' the ability to judge a subject using the nursing process is a key evaluation point.

Uterine atony and cervical laceration.

Questions have been reported that ask for an explanation of the characteristics and causes of each, as well as the nursing care required for prevention.

Uterine atony occurs when the uterine muscle does not contract sufficiently after placental delivery, failing to compress the blood vessels at the placental detachment site. It is associated with uterine overdistension, prolonged labor, rapid delivery, multiparity, and the use of tocolytics.

On the other hand, cervical laceration is caused by factors such as rapid fetal delivery before the cervix is fully dilated, instrumental delivery, or macrosomia. Both cause postpartum hemorrhage, but the clinical observations differ.

In uterine atony, the uterine fundus may be high and the uterus may feel soft. In cervical laceration, bright red bleeding may persist even though uterine contraction is good and the uterus feels firm.

If you do not understand this difference, you cannot provide appropriate nursing care or report the situation based on the cause.

In Teikyo University's descriptive questions, it is necessary not only to memorize disease names and causes but also to have the clinical reasoning to differentiate causes from observational findings and connect them to prevention and response. That said, difficult questions are not asked.

Is it possible to pass using only National Nursing Exam questions?

For the first half of the general nursing section, solidifying your foundation using National Nursing Exam questions and nursing mock exams is effective.

Rather than relearning psychiatric, adult, geriatric, pediatric, fundamental nursing, and social security systems from scratch using individual reference books, it is more efficient to identify gaps in your knowledge through national exam questions.

National exam questions alone are sufficient. The rest is just a matter of mastering a few essential, high-frequency questions from the National Midwifery Exam.

This is because the latter half, covering maternal nursing and neonatal nursing, includes content similar to the National Midwifery Exam. Topics like the Bishop score, fetal position and presentation, differential diagnosis of obstetric hemorrhage, and maternal and child health policies may not be covered in enough depth through National Nursing Exam study alone, but these are common questions in midwifery schools. They appear frequently at other schools as well. I will say it again: they appear frequently!

Also, there are written response questions.

You need to be able to accurately describe pathophysiology, characteristics, causes, prevention, and nursing care in your own words. Being able to select the correct answer and being able to explain it in an answer sheet are different skills, but the questions are not that difficult.

Statement of Purpose within 800 characters

When applying, you must submit a statement of purpose within 800 characters using the prescribed format.

It must be created on a computer and printed single-sided on A4 white paper. It is not handwritten.

800 characters is a relatively long length for a midwifery school statement of purpose.

Simply extending generalities at a kindergarten level, such as:

“I was moved by childbirth,” “I want to support mothers and children,” or “I want to learn advanced knowledge,”

will not serve as a statement of purpose for Teikyo University.

What Teikyo University is looking for are applicants who possess sufficient basic nursing skills, an interest in reproductive health/rights, and communication skills.

Therefore, in your statement of purpose, you should include:

• the specific motivation for aspiring to be a midwife

• what you observed during nursing practicums or clinical experience

• what you thought about from those situations

• the issues you realized could not be solved by the role of a nurse alone

• What you will learn in Teikyo University's educational environment

• How you will connect this to your future midwifery practice

You need to present these as a single cohesive flow, but this is just the basics. If you can write from the perspective of a nursing professional, it will provide overwhelming differentiation.

If your only reason is that there is a university hospital next door, you won't stand out from other programs affiliated with university hospitals. You need to be specific about how you want to learn not only about normal progression but also about maternal complications, fetal/neonatal abnormalities, and emergency decision-making within a high-acuity medical environment. This is also a basic requirement.

Interview Format and Questions

The interview follows a standardized pattern of one applicant and two interviewers, lasting about 10 minutes.

• Motivation for applying to Teikyo University

• Lessons learned and failures from clinical practice

• Why did you fail?

• How do you want to develop what you learned in clinical practice at this advanced program?

• Why did you choose a school in the Kanto region?

• I'm sure there are good schools in your local area, but...

• Is this your first choice, or are you applying to other schools as well?

• I will ask you again: why this school?

• How do others perceive you?

• Have you finished your job hunting?

• What do you want to become in the future?

For those applying from other regions, they also confirm why you chose the Kanto region instead of your local area. This is a common question. By the way, this is not just a question about where you live.

Is there a reason why it absolutely must be Teikyo University, and do you have the intention to enroll if accepted? Some people recite the school's philosophy at a kindergarten level, but every school has those, and it leads to the conclusion that any school would be fine then.

"What I learned in clinical practice" is not just your impressions

When asked about your clinical training experience during an interview,

answering only with "I learned the importance of communication" or "I felt that being close to the patient is important"

will not reveal your learning as a nursing student. The game is over right there.

You need to explain the condition of the subject you observed during training, the information you collected, how you assessed it, what you prioritized in your nursing care, and what changes occurred after your intervention, but that is just the basics. It is not even a nursing professional perspective.

In the case of maternal nursing training, it is important how you connected information such as uterine involution, lochia, breasts/nipples, milk secretion, breastfeeding status, infant weight loss, jaundice, and excretion.

Candidates aiming to become midwives are required to have a perspective that views the mother and child as a single unit, rather than looking at them separately, and to make continuous judgments from the pregnancy period through the puerperium and neonatal period.

Transcripts are also subject to review

Teikyo University's selection process is not just about written exams and interviews. It is a comprehensive judgment that includes document screening such as the statement of purpose.

When applying, you must submit a transcript from your final educational institution. If you have graduated from a nursing-related school other than your final educational institution, you will also need a transcript from that school.

Although the specific point allocation is not public, since general nursing is an entrance exam subject and the admission policy emphasizes basic ability, your academic performance in basic nursing education will also be used as material to understand the candidate.

If your grades in maternal nursing or pediatric nursing are low, it may not be directly confirmed in the interview. However, if you cannot demonstrate your knowledge in the written exam on the day, it may be judged that you "lack the foundation to master midwifery in one year."

You cannot change your past grades. That is precisely why you need to demonstrate your current level of preparation through the written exam, statement of purpose, and interview.

Caution is required regarding eligibility for application

Those eligible to apply are women who meet requirements such as being a university graduate or expected graduate, and who hold a nursing license or have obtained/are expected to obtain eligibility to take the national nursing examination.

This includes four-year university graduates, bachelor's degree holders, and graduates of four-year specialized courses at vocational schools designated by the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology.

What requires caution here is that simply graduating from a three-year nursing vocational school and holding a nursing license may not meet the standard application requirements.

The application guidelines do not contain the broad individual screening provisions seen in general graduate schools, such as "individuals aged 22 or older who are individually recognized as having academic ability equivalent to or higher than a university graduate."

Vocational school graduates need to confirm early on whether their course corresponds to a four-year specialized course designated by the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology.

Tuition is approximately 2,256,000 yen for one year

The tuition fees for the 2026 academic year, for which details can be confirmed, differ between those from outside the university and those from Teikyo University.

Students from outside the university

The total is 2,255,610 yen, consisting of a 408,000 yen admission fee, 1,286,000 yen for tuition and laboratory/practical training fees, 560,000 yen for facility expansion, and 1,610 yen for insurance.

Students from Teikyo University

Since the admission fee is waived, the total is 1,847,610 yen.

In addition to this, you may need to cover costs for textbooks, clinical uniforms, shoes, health checkups, vaccinations, transportation to clinical sites, and expenses related to the national midwifery examination.

At Tokyo Metropolitan University's Midwifery Program, the total for admission and tuition was approximately 690,000 yen, even for students from outside the university. For students from outside Teikyo University, it is approximately 2.25 million yen, a difference of over 1.5 million yen.

This difference in tuition cannot be ignored when choosing which schools to apply to.

On the other hand, private graduate-level midwifery programs can sometimes exceed 3 million yen over two years. You must make your decision while also considering the time-related value of being able to aim for eligibility for the national midwifery examination in just one year.

Also pay attention to antibody titers before clinical practice

At Teikyo University, clinical practice at external medical facilities and related institutions is mandatory in addition to the university hospital affiliated with the Faculty of Medicine.

To enter clinical practice, you must have antibody titers that meet the standards specified by the university for measles, rubella, mumps, varicella, and hepatitis B. For tuberculosis, confirmation via QFT or T-SPOT is also required.

If your antibody titers are low, you may not necessarily obtain sufficient antibodies immediately after vaccination. Multiple doses or re-testing may be required.

It is safer to check your maternal and child health handbook and vaccination records before you apply, rather than panicking after you have been accepted.

To those applying to the Teikyo University Midwifery Program

As the name 'General Nursing' suggests, the written exam at Teikyo University covers the entire scope of basic nursing education.

On the other hand, it has been reported that approximately half of the questions are related to maternal nursing and neonatal nursing, and these include questions with a difficulty level close to that of the national midwifery examination.

Therefore, you need to think about your preparation in two stages.

First, solidify your basic knowledge at the level of the national nursing examination across a wide range of areas, including fundamentals, adult, elderly, psychiatric, pediatric, and social security systems. Then, elevate your knowledge of pregnancy, labor, puerperium, neonates, maternal and child health statistics, relevant laws and regulations, and obstetric emergencies to the level required for midwifery training program entrance exams.

Furthermore, for descriptive questions, you must not just select knowledge, but write out the pathology, causes, characteristics, prevention, and nursing care in sentences.

At our school, we have organized actual written questions, the scope of the exam, descriptive questions, and interview content based on reports submitted by students who have previously applied to the Teikyo University Midwifery Program.

We provide integrated preparation for the 800-character statement of purpose and the interview, as well as the academic examination.

For detailed preparation content, please check the Midwifery School Academic Preparation, Application Document Preparation, and Interview Preparation sections of the NS Online School.

15 students. The duration of the program is one year.

How many times a year is the entrance examination held?

For the 2026 entrance examination, where details could be confirmed, it was held three times: Phase I, Phase II, and Phase III. Please check the latest entrance examination guidelines for next year's schedule.

What are the entrance examination subjects?

They include a specialized subject examination in general nursing, an interview, and a document review such as a statement of purpose.

Is there an English examination?

It is not in the current entrance examination guidelines. Submission of TOEFL or TOEIC scores is also not required.

Is there an essay examination?

There is no independent essay examination. However, the general nursing exam includes descriptive questions. Additionally, you must submit a statement of purpose of up to 800 characters when applying.

How long is the written examination?

It is 90 minutes long. Both multiple-choice and descriptive questions are included.

Should I only study maternal nursing?

That is insufficient. There have been reports of questions covering general nursing as a whole, including psychiatric, geriatric, adult, pediatric, fundamental nursing, and social security systems. Furthermore, deep knowledge of the maternal and neonatal fields is required.

Are past exam questions officially released?

While there is a page for general undergraduate entrance exam past questions at Teikyo University, we cannot confirm that past questions for the Midwifery Program are widely available on the official website. Our school has obtained reports of questions from multiple years from past examinees.

What is the competition ratio?

Teikyo University does not publish the number of applicants, examinees, or successful candidates for its Midwifery Program by year on its official website. Therefore, an accurate competition ratio cannot be calculated.

Is Teikyo University a 'hidden gem' (easy to get into)?

It is a school with many opportunities to take the exam, as there are three testing periods and no English or independent essay sections. However, since the official competition ratio is unknown and the scope of general nursing is broad, it cannot be definitively labeled as an easy 'hidden gem' school.

How much is the tuition?

For the 2026 academic year, the total cost was 2,255,610 yen for students from outside the university and 1,847,610 yen for Teikyo University graduates. These figures may change for the following year.

Summary

The Teikyo University Midwifery Program is a one-year midwife training course located at the Itabashi Campus.

The enrollment capacity is 15 students, and in years where details can be confirmed, three admission periods (I, II, and III) are scheduled.

Selection is based on a comprehensive assessment including a general nursing subject exam, an interview, and document screening such as a statement of purpose of 800 characters or less. There is no English exam or independent essay exam.

The written exam lasts 90 minutes and uses a combination of mark-sheet and descriptive formats.

The general nursing section covers a wide range of topics, including psychiatric nursing, geriatric nursing, adult nursing, pediatric nursing, fundamental nursing, and social security systems. Furthermore, examinee reports indicate that approximately half of the questions focus on maternal nursing and neonatal nursing.

In the maternal field, topics such as the total fertility rate, Bishop score, fetal position and presentation, neonatal jaundice, maternal and child health policies, domestic violence, and support for foreign expectant mothers have been confirmed.

Descriptive questions reported include explaining nursing diagnoses in relation to the nursing process, as well as questions asking for the causes, characteristics, and preventive nursing care for uterine atony and cervical lacerations.

Because Teikyo University does not have an English exam and offers three admission opportunities, it is a strong candidate for those looking at midwifery programs in the Tokyo metropolitan area. However, since the official competition ratio is not published and the scope of the written exam is broad, it cannot be evaluated as an 'easy-to-pass hidden gem'.

This is a school where you need to solidify your knowledge across all areas at the level of the National Nursing Examination, deepen your understanding of the maternal and neonatal fields to the level of midwifery entrance exams, and consistently prepare your descriptive answers, statement of purpose, and interview performance.
