Welcome to the website of the Ryukoku International Center!
Ryukoku University, founded in 1639 as a Buddhist seminary in the precincts
of Nishi-Hongwanji Temple, is one of the oldest and leading institutions
of higher education in Japan. Today, with nearly 20,000 undergraduate and
graduate students at three campuses (Omiya, Fukakusa, and Seta), Ryukoku
University conducts all its education and research activities based on
the five pillars of the Buddhist founding philosophy; Equality, Independence,
Self-reflection, Gratitude, and Peace.
The International Center was established in the 1980s to promote the development
of Ryukoku University’s international programs. It administers short and
long-term student exchange programs with more than 30 different universities
in North America, Europe, the Pacific, Asia and Africa. The Center also
manages the Japanese Culture and Language Program (JCLP), a one-year intensive
course for international students who are interested in the Japanese language,
culture, and society. In addition to its role to administer the academic
programs, the International Center also assists incoming students from
abroad, by arranging subsidized housing and providing information on available
scholarships and events, as well as Japanese students wishing to study
abroad, by offering various services and guidance.
We continue to look forward to maintaining our strong connections and networks
through established agreements with partner institutions as well as establishing
new connections in a variety of locations and in various manners of arrangements.
Our vision is to broaden our spectrum of undergraduate/graduate education
and research. This will in turn realize Ryukoku University’s goal of becoming
a “Glocal (Global and Local) University seeking Symbiosis Harmony.”
