Overview of the business
Every year, please register as soon as possible due to its great popularity! As
the globalization of higher education accelerates, such as the enhancement of support for international students and the promotion of collaborative projects with overseas universities, it can be said that the time has finally arrived when the English proficiency of university faculty and staff is indispensable as a basic ability.
The training program of the University Consortium Kyoto aims not only to improve the English proficiency of the faculty and staff of member schools that can cope with such times, but also to raise the awareness of language learning in the future.
