The Graduate School of Social Sciences is located on the Kobe Campus for Commerce, in the western part of Kobe City. Our campus is just thirty minutes away from the center of the city (Sannomiya).
International students can choose from accommodation on campus, in the Global House dormitory, fully furnished apartments that can be rented from Hyogo Prefecture with logistical support from our university, or they are free to make their own living arrangements. Those interested in staying in the on-campus dormitory should mention it when submitting their application.
Various scholarships, loan-type (which need to be repaid later) and grant-type (which do not need to be repaid), are available for students who have financial hardships. The selection of students to be awarded scholarships will be made based on their academic performance and overall character and behavior. Calls for scholarship applications and all other related information will be posted on the bulletin boards on campus. Be sure to check for this information regularly.
Please see the page in Japanese.
With regard to scholarship programs for international students, the University will make selections based on the academic performance and other factors of each applicant. Explanations on application procedures and other details will be given at the orientation session for international students after enrollment.
Students with outstanding academic performance who have difficulty paying tuition and other fees can apply for payment exemption or reduction (total exemption or 50% reduction). If you wish to apply, please contact the International Relations and Student Affairs Division after enrollment.
