Student services

University life is vastly different from life up through high school as it becomes necessary to take initiative and face challenges on your own. At the same time, during your time at university, you may experience anxiety or encounter issues you cannot resolve on your own. 

Kansai Gaidai has a counseling system in place that allows students to consult with academic advisors, the Student Counseling Office, and club presidents and tutors. Faculty and staff are committed to supporting students by helping them with any issues they are having and offering them guidance.

Housing services

  • In addition to GLOBAL COMMONS -YUI-, Kansai Gaidai University also offers two other international dormitories.
  • Located within the Gotenyama Campus Global Town, GLOBAL COMMONS -YUI- is a shared living space where Kansai Gaidai students and international students live, learn, and eat together.

Library services

Lots of materials and equipment are ready for you to use in the library, including those for classes, your own learnings, and group workings. In the library, besides where you can study in a quiet atmosphere, we have "Learning Commons (Nakamiya Campus)" and "Creative Area Hana (Gotenyama Campus Global Town)" where you can enjoy discussing or prepare for presentations.

ICT services

You can connect your own computer to the internet from your room free of charge. Internet access is limited to two devices at the same time. Online games and sending/receiving large data are prohibited.

Medical services

First aid medical facility on campus is available at both Nakamiya and Gotenyama campus. Since medical facilities on the Kansai Gaidai campus provide only first aid, in case of illness or injury, students are referred to a local hospital or clinic for treatment. All international students are eligible for using the Medical Assistance Service (In English) upon arrival to Kansai Gaidai. 

Campus life

Located in Hirakata City, Osaka, Kansai Gaidai is accessible, within a one-hour train ride, to Kyoto and Nara, the ancient capitals, and Osaka, the second largest business hub in Japan. Kansai Gaidai has two campuses in Hirakata: the Nakamiya Campus and the Gotenyama Campus Global Town.

Sports facilities

  • On the 2nd floor is a regulation-size arena for volleyball and basketball games, while a kendo dojo occupies part of the 3rd floor.
  • With a floor area of 1,398 square meters, the arena features 3 volleyball courts, 2 basketball courts, 6 badminton courts, and 1 handball court, and is used for classes and various club activities.

Student clubs

The clubs and circles at Kansai Gaidai warmly welcome the participation of international students. To name a few, athletically inclined students may join soccer, basketball, or cheerleading club. 

There are also a wide range of Japanese martial arts clubs such as Judo, Kendo, Karate, or Shorinji-Kempo. Surprisingly enough some international students have even been able to speedily improve skills and earn advanced ranks within the hierarchies of those activities.
