On Sunday, April 13, Kyoto University of Foreign Studies (KUFS) held an open campus event graced with warm, sunny weather. More than 700 students from high schools around the nation took part.

KUFS graduates currently working as Japanese instructors participated in the event via online video chat. They talked about their time studying at KUFS and their work following graduation, providing strong inspiration to high schoolers hoping to study at the University.

Department hosted a series of mini-lectures, each one offered twice to allow visiting high school students to experience a wide range of topics. The Faculty of Foreign Studies Department of British and American Studies mini-lectures, for example, covered five different topics, with participants choosing the one which most interested them.

During the ultra-popular "Touch the World" session, professors from various departments as well as students enjoyed snacks and juice as they met and talked with one another. By having visitors meet and talk directly with the faculty of each department and enrolled students, we believe they were better able to envision their lives on campus.

KUFS offers a wide variety of events throughout the year. We look forward to seeing you here!
