Kansai Gaidai has launched a new undertaking called “the Gotenyama Campus・Global Town” project. The new site is located 400 meters west of the Nakamiya campus. The College of Global Communication and Language currently at the Gakkentoshi campus will be relocated to the new site. This project brings our two campuses together physically and operationally, making them the new centerpiece for our enhanced global education.The concept of this initiative is to create a representation of the “world” on campus. Abundant opportunities will be available for international students to interact not only with local students and the community, but also with students representing more than 40 other countries and regions.
