Starting university in a new country can feel overwhelming—for both students and their families. At Kyoto University of Advanced Science (KUAS), we are committed to providing a safe, welcoming, and supportive environment where every student can thrive academically and personally.
As a small-scale university, KUAS is able to offer personalized attention and close support for each student. Faculty and staff members are approachable and attentive, ensuring that students always have someone to turn to when they need assistance. From academic guidance to daily life support, KUAS provides a well-structured and caring campus environment designed to help students feel secure and confident throughout their university journey.
International Office
The International Office provides various forms of support to help international students get acclimated to their life at KUAS with ease. The International Office offers assistance with visa procedures, scholarship applications, introducing real estate agents, and guidance on life in Japan. The International Office also plans social events where students of various backgrounds can interact with one another. The staff consists of insightful, friendly individuals who warmly welcome international students.
Buddy Program
To promote multicultural exchange and ease the transition to campus life, KUAS offers a Buddy Program through the International Liaison Office. Under this program, new international students are paired with experienced students who provide practical advice and friendly support during the first stages of university life.
Buddies help international students adjust to daily life, campus procedures, and cultural differences, while also building meaningful cross-cultural friendships. For many students, their buddy becomes one of their first trusted friends at KUAS.
Sports Life Skills (SLS) Class
All KUAS students take Sports Life Skills (SLS) classes as part of the curriculum. These classes promote physical well-being, teamwork, and communication skills through sports activities. In addition to improving health and fitness, students develop important social competencies such as leadership, cooperation, and situational awareness. Students can choose from a variety of sports, including basketball, soccer, and tennis, allowing them to stay active while connecting with classmates outside the traditional classroom setting.
Others
KUAS is constantly seeking to improve the overall quality of campus life for its students. You can depend on the Nurse’s Office and the Student Counseling Office for any additional support. If you have questions about your classes, our English-speaking staff at the Student Affairs Office is on standby, waiting to provide you with any information you may need.
