Kyoto Women’s University Internationalization Initiative (2025-2029)

Since its founding, Kyoto Women's University has been a pioneer in women's education, nurturing women who excel in a variety of fields. The university's founding spirit is rooted in the Buddhist principles of Shinran Shonin. The purpose of this education is to help students understand themselves through Buddhism. We cannot escape our self-centered perspectives. Recognizing this, we must learn to coexist with individuals who hold different values.
