On Saturday, December 6, a special event called "’WELCOME TO KUFS.’ Pre-University Experience for Successful Applicants" was held for Kyoto University of Foreign Studies (KUFS) applicants who passed the entrance examinations in October and November. Many of these successful applicants joined the event and were treated to experiences that heightened their excitement for university life starting in April.

These included sample lessons which gave participants a taste of their future studies at KUFS. The theme for the Faculty of Foreign Studies lesson was "English and International Relations," and it provided easy-to-understand explanations on the fundamentals of international relations. The Faculty of Global Engagement's lesson, on the other hand, covered basic information regarding the Model United Nations held every year at the University, and also included a lecture on tourism-related learning unique to the University, all of which exposed future students to some of the skill sets they will acquire through study.

KUFS also hosted a hands-on tour to introduce some of the benefits of studying at the University, which included visits to some of the newest facilities on campus and viewing of valuable materials at the library. Participant feedback was highly positive.

A friendly social gathering was held to conclude the event. Everyone enjoyed snacks while meeting and talking with other students scheduled to start in the spring, currently enrolled KUFS students, and members of the teaching staff. It was an enjoyable and beneficial gathering for all that dispelled uncertainties among incoming students and helped them form new friendships.
