Program Overview - What is KU-EOL?

 

Originally launched in 2020, this program allows students outside of Japan to participate in selected courses offered by Kansai University online and free of charge. Students from partner universities are invited to apply and join their KU peers to take part in interactive online courses and collaborative online international learning (COIL) projects. 
The courses will take place 100% online for 7 weeks, and lectures will be held once a week.

 

The following courses are offered as KU-EOL courses in Spring 2025:

 

- Japanese Arts
- Critical Thinking for Social and Global Issues
- Methods of Comparative Analysis (ENG and JPN Communication)
- Contemporary Gender Studies 
- KUGF Independent Study (Understanding Organization Culture）

*PLEASE NOTE: KU-EOL is NOT an “exchange study abroad” program. The “exchange” element of this program refers to student-to-student discussion and interaction which takes place in the online classroom setting.
