Corporate Social Responsibilit
In this course you will learn the core principles of business ethics and how Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) factors are used to make strategic decisions that contribute to a sustainable future.
Digital Literacy
This course equips students with foundational digital skills needed to succeed in a technology-driven world. Students will explore artificial intelligence (Al) literacy, online privacy and digital collaboration. Students will develop critical thinking, computational skills, and ethical awareness through interactive projects, readings, and exploring Al tools. The course emphasizes real-world applications of emerging technologies in academic, professional, and societal contexts.
Creativity and Innovation
We explore generative AI as a partner in creative work through discussions and hands-on activities, transforming ideas into real-world projects. Through this process, students develop problem-solving, creativity, and innovation skills while building confidence through experimentation and learning from mistakes.
ディスカッションや実践的な活動を通して、生成AIをアイデアづくりのパートナーとして活用し、考えたことを実社会につながるプロジェクトとして形にします。こうしたプロセスの中で、課題解決力やクリエイティビティ、イノベーション力を身に付けるとともに、試行錯誤や失敗から学びながら自信を育てていきます。
Sustainable Development
We explore contemporary global crises such as climate change through activities and discussions, aiming to cultivate interest and communication skills.
現代社会が直面する気候変動などの地球規模の課題について、関心とコミュニケーション能力を育みながら、アクティビティやディスカッションを通して探究します。

Alumni's Voice
海外を含むさまざまな社内外のやりとりに
大学で培ったコミュニケーション力や積極性を発揮。
The communication skills developed at KUFS are vital for my career
京都で70年以上続く会社で勤務しています。マネキン事業からスタートした会社ですが、現在は、商業施設やホテルなどの空間プロデュースを主な事業としており、その中で私は経理を担当しています。海外も含め、社内外の方とコミュニケーションをとる機会には、大学時代に培った力が役立っています。グローバルスタディーズ学科は、学外に出て挑戦できる環境があり、サークルで難民支援に挑んだほか、京丹後に長期滞在し地域課題解決も経験。視野が広がり、コミュニケーション力が育まれ、自分の成長につながりました。
I work for a company based in Kyoto that has a history of over 70 years. Initially, the company focused on manufacturing mannequins, but now its primary focus is on creating commercial facilities and hotel spaces. My role within the company involves handling accounting tasks. The communication skills I acquired during my time at Kyoto University of Foreign Studies have proven beneficial, especially when interacting with colleagues and clients from different countries. The Department of Global Studies at KUFS provides students with opportunities to engage in activities beyond the classroom. In my case, I participated in a club focused on supporting refugees, and I also took part in initiatives to address local issues in Kyotango. These experiences have not only expanded my worldview but have also honed my communication abilities.
