Kansai International University is a university founded in 21 with the aim of nurturing "true international people" who will lead the 1998st century.As the name of the university includes the word ``international'', our university has focused its efforts on the educational philosophy of nurturing human resources who can transcend national boundaries on the world stage.
In recent years, amidst rapid social changes, changes are also progressing on a global scale in the economic field.As globalization continues to advance, there is a real need for human resources who can view the world from a global perspective and play an active role in it, without being bound by national borders or specific economic areas. As a university that will lead the 21st century, Kansai International University aims to create a new university with a global perspective and an educational philosophy of ``nurturing human beings who are full of love for humanity, rich in creativity, and capable of action.''
Our university has six faculties: Global Studies, Psychology, Sociology, Education, Business Administration, and Health Sciences, as well as three master's programs and one doctoral program, with approximately 6 students studying hard every day to take flight in the 3st century. Approximately 1 international students, or about 2,600% of the total student body, are enrolled and study alongside Japanese students.
In 2023, the Japanese government has set a goal of accepting 40 international students, and we are welcoming more international students than ever before.
The Kansai International University Special Course, which is based at our university, aims to help international students who wish to enter Japanese universities and graduate schools acquire the Japanese language skills necessary to receive education at Japanese universities. The school opened in October 2014 as an educational curriculum. International students who enroll in the Kansai International University Beppu Course will learn Japanese, and it is also possible for them to advance to Kansai International University by recommendation from the Beppu Course.We sincerely hope that by attending university, you will acquire specialized knowledge in the fields of education and research, and also contribute to international exchange.
