Faculty of International Tourism
Department of International Tourism
The Department of International Tourism teaches students foreign languages, tourism, and history, and educates people who can put what they love into their work. It is comprised of four courses that students can choose from based on their vision for their future, and a curriculum that enables them to grow while broadening their perspectives from local tourism-related issues to global trends.
The Kyoto History and Culture Course takes advantage of the school’s location in the former Japanese capital and world-famous tourist destination that is Kyoto, allowing students to deepen their specialized knowledge, learning Kyoto studies from a historical perspective and tourism studies on the most recent trends in tourism. Students will also learn about various tourism-related issues through fieldwork in the city of Kyoto and its sightseeing settings.

The Hotel and Hospitality Course allows students to learn not only about tourism, but also about the hospitality required in various service industries, through lectures and practical training. Students are able to enhance their hospitality skills through instruction by faculty members who have worked in first-class hotels and bridal settings, as well as various events and community collaboration activities.

The Foreign Languages Course allows students to enhance their foreign language skills, with a focus on English and Chinese, deepen their understanding of other cultures in today’s increasingly globalized society, and educate people capable of thriving in international workplaces like the airline industry. Various kinds of support are provided for students to study abroad, and students can also choose a minor that allows them to study the airline business more in-depth.

The Japanese Language and Culture Course allows students to gradually enhance their Japanese language skills through courses tailored to each international student’s linguistic capabilities. Students who have acquired sufficient Japanese language skills will join one of the three major courses of their choice (“Kyoto History and Culture Course,” “Hotel and Hospitality Course ,” or the “Foreign Languages Course”) to deepen their specialized knowledge.

Faculty of Pre-School and Elementary Education
Department of Pre-School and Elementary Education
The Department of Pre-School and Elementary Education provides students with a wide range of teaching skills that enable them to respond flexibly to a rapidly-changing educational environment. Students are able to choose from two programs based on their vision for the future, which allows them to explore their goals and aptitudes in their first year through practical training, and choose their course of study in their second year.
The Childcare Program allows students to learn about the physical and mental development and growth of children, and fosters caregivers who are able to provide support to children. Students gain an understanding of children’s development from infancy to childhood, and develop the skills to play an active role in childcare/education settings.

The Child Education Program allows students to gain an understanding of children’s long-term development, according to the stages of development, by acquiring multiple qualifications dependent on their future career path. Students develop practical skills that can be immediately applied in educational settings, with the goal of becoming preschool and elementary school teachers that can respond flexibly in such settings.
