Kyoto Seika University was founded in 1968 on the educational principle of “respect for humanity" based on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the Japanese Constitution.Over the half-century since then, we have strived to educate artists and creators who can change the world through a curriculum that teaches culture and the arts.
In 2018, we celebrated the 50th anniversary of the university’s founding and launched VISION 2024 SEIKA, a major restructuring plan for the next fifty years.This plan is a testament to Kyoto Seika’s commitment to furthering culture and creative expression through reforms that include organizational reform and global exchange activities to build upon our existing strengths as a university: creative expression, the liberal arts, and a global outlook.
Kyoto Seika University has begun its journey toward this new plane of learning.To achieve this vision, we are making drastic efforts to cut costs wherever possible, but the reality is that we need your help.
We humbly ask for your financial support and cooperation as alumni, parents, and the local community band together to build an even better Kyoto Seika University.
