KUAS at a Glance

Being the former capital of Japan for more than a millennium, Kyoto remains a center of culture, industry, technology, and history. It is an academic city that has produced numerous Nobel Prize winners, and it is also home to many of the world’s leading high-tech industries and long-standing companies that have been in operation for centuries. Kyoto is an ideal place for learning in all fields. KUAS has Uzumasa Campus in the city area, where there are many historical sites, as well as Kameoka Campus, which is plentiful in nature, in the western part of Kyoto. Students can study while making full use of the advantages Kyoto has to offer.

KUAS has over 300 international students from over 40 different countries*, and that number is only expected to continuing growing. Students have many opportunities to interact with peers from a variety of backgrounds on campus.
*As of Fall 2023

KUAS offers all-English programs in three faculties*. No Japanese language proficiency is required to apply. Students can obtain skills at an advanced level in English, even in Japan.
*Bioenvironmental Sciences International Program and Global Business and Economics Program will start in 2025.

The curriculum of the English program also includes Japanese language courses. By acquiring Japanese language proficiency to supplement their technical skill, students can broaden their options for post-graduation career paths.

Note: Japanese courses are not part of the curriculum for graduate studies, but students may apply for noncredited courses for a small additional cost.
