Studienaufenthalt an der Kyoto Sangyo Universität

Abstract

The University of Passau offers its students the opportunity of taking part in an exchange program with Sangyo University in Kyoto, the former imperial capital of Japan. The exchange agreement provides for release from tuition fees and a room in the international dormitory. The exchange program focuses particularly on the needs of students without prior experience in Japan. The great organization and caring support make this program an excellent opportunity to get in touch with Japanese Culture and to make friends with students from around the globe. Contrary to common preconceptions, a stay in Japan is not necessarily very expensive. This is due to the relatively low cost of accommodation at Kyoto Sangyo University. Alumni of this program have benefited from an introduction into a foreign culture and have formed lasting friendships. This exchange program contributes to the international orientation of Passau University and will particularly attract prospective students with an interest in Japan.
