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. Spring 2024 courses will take place 100% online between May and June (7 weeks) and lectures are held once a week for 90 minutes.

The following courses are offered as KU-EOL courses in Spring 2024:

- 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) 

- Communication in Japanese Society (JPN Corporate Culture)* This course is in Japanese

 

*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.

​※KU-EOLプログラムは、交換留学としてカウントいたしません。 本プログラムの「exchange」とは、オンライン空間で行われる学生対学生のディスカッションや交流のことを意味します。KU-EOLプログラムを修了した学生には、添付の参加証明書が発行されますが、その他の成績証明書（公式・非公式）、フォーマルレター、参加したことを証明する書類は発行できません。
