International Exchange / Study Abroad

Since its establishment, Kanagawa University has focused on fostering people who can be active in a global setting. In an effort to realize this goal, the University has established a basic policy on international exchange and endeavored to conclude agreements on academic exchanges with universities in areas where English, Spanish, Chinese and Korean are spoken as well as enrich the training systems at non-partner universities in English-speaking areas. Through these measures, the University is working to further promote international exchange.

International Opportunities for Students at Kanagawa University

Kanagawa University seeks to prepare the students for active involvement in the international arena. This has been an objective ever since the university´s founding, and is now guided by a fundamental policy on international exchange. Our efforts to further the cause of international exchange involve the conclusion of academic exchange agreements with universities in English, Spanish, Chinese and Korean language countries, as well as the expansion of short-term training programs with universities in the English-speaking world beyond these formal exchange agreements,

The provision of structured language training and student exchange programs with partner institutions is coupled with efforts to expand study opportunities at English-speaking universities beyond our formal partnership networks, with the aim of increasing the number of regions and institutions encompassed by our programs. These efforts are directed at responding to students´ self-motivated interest in studying abroad.

A particular focus is active engagement in joint research projects with other research institutes, including the hosting of regular international symposia and receipt of research grants offered by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology.
