KUFS | Kyoto, Japan
Since 2021, the GSW division has maintained a partnership with Kyoto University of Foreign Studies (KUFS). The small international university with about 4,500 students from all over the world is located in one of the historically and culturally most important cities in Japan (794-1868 seat of the Imperial Court of Japan). Kyoto combines tradition and history with the advantages of a modern university city and, together with the neighboring cities of Uji and Otsu, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. At KUFS, you can choose from a wide range of English-language courses in social, political, economic, and cultural sciences, or study Japanese language, culture, and history. See Kyoto University of Foreign Studies (KUFS) for more information.
