Kyoto Women’s University Internationalization Initiative (2021-2024)

Since its founding, Kyoto Women's University has been a pioneer in women's education, producing women who have played important roles in various fields. At our university, our founding philosophy is to provide education based on the Buddhist spirit embodied by Shinran (the founder of Jodo Shinshu). The goal is to teach students to know themselves through Buddhism. We cannot escape from our egocentric viewpoint. We need to understand it in a true sense and coexist with people who have different values.

Kyoto Women's University, which celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2020, is working to develop female human resources that will contribute to the improvement of women's social status and the development of a global society, and aims to become a "Bridgehead School for the Development of Female Human Resources in Asia" under the strong leadership of the President.
