- The "Japanese Experience Program in Kyoto (JEP Kyoto)" for incoming exchange students will conclude at the end of March 2026. Beginning in April 2026, it will be succeeded by the "Ryukoku Japan Studies Program."
Ryukoku University offers two unique courses of study (JEP-J・JEP-E) for exchange students from our Partner Universities located throughout the world. Both cater specifically to international students, and applicants can select the course of study which suits their personal study goals and interests.
Exchange Students who will be participating in JEP Kyoto in Fall 2025 can find general curriculum outlines at the following links. Further information regarding class registration will be provided after arrival in Kyoto in September.
Exchange Students arriving in September 2026 and staying for one year will register for classes in our newly established Ryukoku Japan Studies Program (JSP), commencing in Spring 2026. Please refer to this link for more information.
