Kyoto Seika University welcomes students from a range of diverse backgrounds, including many international students, which is one reason why our admissions system is not restricted by nationality or country of origin.
However, there are requirements regarding applicants’ Japanese language proficiency and status of residence at the time of application. For detailed information on application requirements and procedures, please read through the application requirements page and admission guidelines (only available in Japanese).
