Overview
Kyoto Summer Program is an annual short-term program opens to both international students from our partner universities around the world and domestic students enrolled at Kyoto University (KyotoU).
This program is a collaborative effort between the Kyoto University Institute for Liberal Arts and Sciences (ILAS) and Kyoto University Asian Studies Unit (KUASU). It is divided into two sub-programs: ILAS program, in which English is the main instruction language, and KUASU program, in which Japanese is the main instruction language.
Both sub-programs share a core curriculum that primarily aims to develop an understanding of the political, cultural, historical, social, and ecological issues facing Japan. Both provide opportunities to learn the Japanese language and to study with local students. The whole program is also designed to highlight KyotoU’s unique academic culture and cutting-edge research facilities. Kyoto University students (KyotoU students) join this program together to stimulate the opportunity of cooperative learning.
