Fieldwork within the Internationally-known City of Kyoto
Japan's ancient capital, Kyoto provides the perfect location for conducting a range of academic study and research. It is a treasure trove of cultural and historical importance, added to which are its museums, and commercial establishments that even today keep traditional merchants' skills and customs alive. Fieldwork based on these assets promotes an active involvement in learning through hands-on experience.
Comprehensive Vocational Education
Comprehensive career development programs are offered to help students determine their future occupations, to design a plan for their own career development, and to acquire job-related skills and knowledge.
International Students
International students from any institution can enter a regular program of study or research at Kyoto Tachibana University upon passing the required entrance exam and Japanese language conditions; and provided they will have graduated from high school by the time they enter their undergraduate course. International students attending the Japanese Language Program must be from one of the universities abroad that are presently affiliated to Kyoto Tachibana University (see the section on International Partners). The Japanese Language Program provides instruction suited to the student's individual level. Class sizes in this Program are small, thus facilitating individual progress.
Students' Learning and Life : Japanese Language Program
Kyoto Tachibana University provides international students enrolled at any of our affiliated institutions abroad with a variety of language and cultural classes to fit their Japanese proficiency level. It also offers a range of elective courses other than Japanese. (See the section on International Partners). Taking advantage of the location of the school in the ancient cultural capital of Japan, the program incorporates field studies to famous temples and historic landmarks in Kyoto. Students can enjoy actually taking part in such traditional events as the Gion Festival. Outwith the regular curriculum, the University offers international students the opportunity to further develop their communication skills and knowledge of Japanese culture, as well as make close relationships with our regular students, through the language partner system. They are also able to take part in a wide range of club and other extra-curricular activities organized by the regular Japanese students.
