The International Student Center is one of university wide research/teaching facilities established in April 1993. This Center provides international students with education in Japanese language and Japanese studies. It also offers consultations on problems encountered in studying or living in Japan.
In its aim to promote international academic exchange programs, the Center supports overseas study for Japanese students studying at Kobe University. The local community is very important for the International Student Center; therefore, it is actively promoting projects to strengthen ties between international students and local organizations, as well as programs to help international students improve their Japanese language abilities.
