Kyoto Foreign Studies University is the first private foreign studies university in Japan. Kyoto University is one of the prestigious universities in Kansai, Japan, and is highly rated as a linguistics major. It is also a member of the Japan National Association of Foreign Studies Universities. The number of disciplines in eight languages is the largest among private foreign studies universities in China, second only to Tokyo University of Foreign Studies. The "All-Japan Students' Chinese Debate Conference" held regularly every year is co-sponsored by Kyoto University and Shanghai Education International Exchange Association. Besides, every year, universities outside Kyoto hold national language contests in eight languages, including Spanish, French and German, except China. Since its establishment, Kyoto Foreign Studies University has been focusing on foreign language education and striving for the understanding of different cultures. While loving Chinese traditional culture, people who understand different cultural backgrounds actively integrate with each other. Nowadays, schools involve many foreign languages and cultures. We believe that Kyoto Foreign Studies University will become an indispensable educational institution in the era of prosperity through communication with others. The founding spirit of Kyoto Foreign Studies University is "Pax Mundi per Linguas".
