On Sunday, July 12, Kyoto University of Foreign Studies (KUFS) held an open campus event.

The opening section of the event featured a performance by the dance club. This was followed by a screening of the video "Multilingual Relay" showcasing reasons for coming to KUFS by students in all academic departments, which gave visitors a good feel for each department and student life in general at the school.
During the "Student Growth Stories" segment, current students from the Department of Global Studies, Faculty of Global Engagement took the stage to talk about their experiences studying foreign languages, which they use as tools to transform themselves, and their personal growth throughout.

In addition, the day featured a class on community interpreting—a type of service which bridges gaps between medical care providers, government, public services and the like—alongside other special classes, mini-lectures, and introductions to the various KUFS departments and their study courses and unique characteristics. Small-group campus tours (by advance reservation only) were fully booked just like last time, proving popular once again.

The "More Than Just Language: Education at KUFS" session included a special lecture on business and administrative studies, which are taught at the University. It involved brainstorming familiar issues from linguistic and business perspectives, and served to deepen visitor understanding regarding KUFS' approach of combining language studies with the social sciences.

This year's open campus also featured a student-planned program where visitors toured the campus with students from the Department of British and American Studies, while taking quizzes about the English-speaking world. Everyone who took part formed new bonds with one another, and even came together for a commemorative group photo at the end. In addition, this open campus included the "Touch the World" program, explanations on entrance examinations and study abroad programs, an explanatory session on careers in the airline industry, a workshop for holistic admissions, and many other helpful sessions.

The next open campus is scheduled for Saturday, August 1 and Sunday, August 2.
The theme will be "Learn Everything About KUFS in a Day," and it will include detailed entrance examination explanations, campus tours, and a full lineup of other sessions. We look forward to seeing you here!
