The affiliation arrange-ments are roughly divided into the following categories.Among the increasing number of Japanese universities with international programs, Kansai Gaidai has been in many ways developing the fastest. Each year, about 1,800 local students study abroad through various university-sponsored programs, while over 600 international students take advantage of study abroad opportunities available at Kansai Gaidai. Reciprocal Student Exchange Program In principle, host institutions accept students on the basis of recommendation from their home institutions. Therefore, home institutions are responsible for the selection of qualified students. Participating students pay necessary fees to their home institutions and simply exchange their campuses of study. There are two sub-categories under the reciprocal student exchange in terms of the financial arrangements. a. Full ExchangeCompetitively selected students pay tuition, room and board fees to their home institutions and are waived from the payment of such fees at their respective host institutions. b. Tuition and Fees Only ExchangeThis agreement is almost the same as the Full Exchange Program except that the participating students are personally responsible for their room and board fees at their respective host institutions. Term/Year Abroad ProgramThis is a one-way stream of students from our affiliated institu-tions to Kansai Gaidai. Students are accepted as fee-paying students on the basis of the recommendation from their home institutions. Degree-seeking Transfer ProgramSelected students come to Kansai Gaidai for two academic years starting from the 3rd year and obtain a degree from Kansai Gaidai. The credits earned here will be transferred to count toward a degree at their home institutions. Students may thus receive degrees from Kansai Gaidai as well as their home institu-tions. Enrollments are arranged either on a fee-paying basis or under reciprocal exchange arrangements.( ) Number of Institutions As of September 2018LOCATIONS OF OUR AFFILIATED INSTITUTIONSMALTA (1)・ITALY (5)・SWITZERLAND (1)・BELGIUM (2)・HUNGARY (1)・SPAIN (11)・MOROCCO (1)・PORTUGAL (1)・・LITHUANIA (1)・ROMANIA (1)・LATVIA (1)FRANCE (9)・・KENYA (1)・ISRAEL (1)・INDIA (2)・EGYPT (1)・SOUTH AFRICA (1)・BULGARIA (1)・TURKEY (2)SWEDEN (5)・DENMARK (1)・GERMANY (8)・AUSTRIA (4)・ICELAND (1)・・FINLAND (5)・ESTONIA (1)・NORWAY (3)・POLAND (2)・RUSSIA (1)・THAILAND (2)NETHERLANDS (6)・CZECH REPUBLIC (1)・UNITED KINGDOM (8)・4
