Kyoto University, Wild & Wise Collaborative Learning Program 2017-2018
Livelihood, Environment and Peace – Studying in Kyoto and Lake Biwa
As part of its current (FY2016-2021) master plan, Kyoto University is working toward the goal of increasing its international student population to 3,300.
The President's WINDOW Concept states that the University is committed to producing "strong, bold leaders capable of showing others the way forward", a vision which the Institute for Liberal Arts and Sciences (ILAS) supports by providing cross-cultural learning and research opportunities, where participants are trained to develop a deeper understanding of both their home countries and other cultures.
Implemented based on recommendations from participating graduate schools and institutes, the Wild & Wise Collaborative Learning Programs aim to reinforce the University's efforts to cultivate a new generation of leaders and to increase numbers of international students by inviting the most capable international and Japanese students to study together.
