Kyoto University of Foreign Studies (KUFS) held a program completion ceremony and farewell party for international students in the Kyoto Intensive Japanese Program (Summer 2026) and full study-abroad programs！

On Thursday, July 23, Kyoto University of Foreign Studies (KUFS) held a program completion ceremony and farewell party for international students in the Kyoto Intensive Japanese Program (Summer 2026) and full study-abroad programs.

Intensive program students concluded approximately three weeks of studies at KUFS, and full program students either a half or full year of studies. Each international student received a program completion certificate and happily celebrated the accomplishment with their fellow schoolmates.

During the exciting farewell party, attendees enjoyed food along with musical and dance performances by KUFS students. Some attendees could be seen with tears in their eyes as they said goodbye to friends made during their time at the University.

The festivities concluded with a group photo of all international students. This ceremony and party served as an important turning point, enabling students to reflect back on what they had accomplished and their memories here in Kyoto while embarking on new directions in life.

Some of the students will return to their home countries, while others will gain employment in Japan or pursue other endeavors. Whatever path each of them chooses, all of us at KUFS hope that their experiences here will prove useful in their studies and life moving forward.

We hope they will come back and visit us at KUFS someday!
