School philosophy

Gunma Paz University derives its name from the Portuguese word Paz, meaning “peace.” PAZ can also be read as an acronym for Pessoa (Person), Assistencia (Assistance), and Zelo (Zeal). We embrace all of these concepts in our mission to cultivate well-educated, compassionate, highly qualified healthcare professionals.
