On Sunday, September 27, Kyoto University of Foreign Studies (KUFS) held an open campus event.

During the opening session, the school's Liko Lehua Hula Dance Club treated visitors to a performance of their "World Sound Journey,” an experience that takes the audience on a trip around the globe through sound. This gave everyone a better idea of each department's unique qualities as well as cultural facets of countries and regions around the world.
During the "Student Growth Story" session, a current student from the Department of Japanese Studies, Faculty of Foreign Studies took the stage to share a personal account of how entering the university had allowed them to move beyond a high school life spent entirely serving others at the expense of their own identity, to discover their "true self" and take action for themselves.

In the faculty and department introductions and special lectures, the Faculty of Foreign Studies provided a comprehensive overview of the unique features of its nine departments and held a special lecture on the introductory language courses available after entering the university. Meanwhile, the Faculty of Global Engagement introduced the characteristics of its two departments and conducted a special lecture on the theme of tourism studies. Visitors were able to experience firsthand the excitement of learning foreign languages and the broader perspectives on the world gained through tourism.

Additionally, a special event for parents and guardians featured a lecture on the significance of foreign language education in the age of AI, as well as the value and future potential of learning a new language. This was followed by an explanation of tuition fees and KUFS's unique scholarship programs, topics of high interest to parents and guardians.

Furthermore, during the "KUFS English Experience" hosted by the Department of British and American Studies, participants enjoyed conversing in English with native-speaking faculty members through fun English games and activities.

The event also included a range of programs to help visitors become better acquainted with KUFS, including preparatory sessions for recommendation-based admissions, a campus tour, personal consultations, and information sessions covering entrance examinations, study abroad programs, and career paths.

The next open campus even, a “Christmas Open Campus” is scheduled for Sunday, December 13. The event will feature a wide range of other activities as well, so be sure to stop by!
