The Japanese government has issued a call for the globalization of universities, and in line with this, Kindai University has been working hard to become a more internationally-focused university. We are, for example, making efforts to provide more classes taught in English, expanding tie-ups with universities around the world, establishing a Faculty of International Studies and expanding the opportunities for students to have more meaningful English learning experiences such as JEMUN. In addition to expanding our student exchange programs, we aim to promote collaborative research with overseas institutions, and as a world class university, we will further improve our facilities to develop an educational and research environment which attracts teaching staff and students from overseas.
In 2025, Kindai University will celebrate its centennial anniversary, and in preparation for this commemorative year, we are carrying out a number of large-scale construction projects on our main campus. Our new academic hub called “ACADEMIC THEATER”, opened in April of 2017, and it features facilities which go against conventional wisdom - housing a distinctive Biblio-theater with approximately 70,000 books, 22,000 comics, and multiple 24-hour fully-equipped self-study rooms, including one accessible only to women.
Into the future we will continue to stay true to our founding principles of ‘learning for the real world’ and ‘nurturing intellectual and emotional intelligence’, as we create an even better environment for learning and conducting research - and all of our staff will do their best to ensure the diverse potential of students is reached. On behalf of Kindai University, I wish you all a successful, fruitful and engaging JEMUN experience.
Professor Yoshihiko Hosoi ,
President of Kindai University
