Kansai University has seen remarkable development over its many years. We celebrated our 130th anniversary in 2016. We have 13 faculties, 13 graduate schools, three professional graduate schools, as well as a preparatory course for international students. Over our long history, all those involved in building our institution have had to overcome various hardships to achieve such prestigious stan...ding. While always keeping this in mind, we now need to make a courageous new start in order to explore an even brighter future, and a new era of further reform that balances reality and ideals. In order to proudly pass on “the burning torch of intelligence” at our 150th, or even 200th, anniversary, we must gather all our collective wisdom to engineer a concrete plan for reform, and proceed boldly.
The keys to cementing a robust set of reforms are research and education for the further growth of the university, and social and international engagement to strongly connect with the outside world. These are the most important elements necessary for the university to pursue its mission as an essential organ of higher education, and as part of our society, community, and indeed the world, for a richer, brighter future.
Providing a free and energetic environment for research is one of the key elements required to invigorate our university. Therefore, we will strive to raise research standards university-wide through the creation of a strategic research-promotion structure. In this way, we will establish an intellectual and creative climate to initiate new research organizations aiming at scholarly breakthroughs, as well as to strengthen our existing research institutes.
The knowhow created through good research should be passed on to the next generation through solid educational activities. To realize this, our team of teachers and staff members will work together to provide support to students so that they may learn in an independent and autonomous manner. We will be sensitive to what is happening in the world and greater society, by learning from a diverse pool of exemplar projects for improving university education, with the aim of fostering students who can think, act and make a difference to the society they live in.
We believe that we can assure the kind of sound academic environment where active research and learning profoundly rooted in society can be established through interaction with the world outside of the campus. Therefore, we will make every effort to involve ourselves in a range of activities that foster comprehensive exchanges with the society we serve, extending beyond the framework of business-academia collaborations.
Our university will continue to make bold moves from a strategic perspective in a variety of ways. These include greater diversity among university staff and teachers; promotion of cross-cultural education; international education addressing global issues, such as the environment, energy, terrorism and conflicts; regional studies; foreign-language education of English and other languages; and an increase in the number of students who study overseas.
The Kansai University Library consists of the General Library on the Senriyama Campus and three other branches on the Takatsuki Campus, the Takatsuki Muse Campus and the Sakai Campus. The total holdings of printed books and periodicals amount to approximately 2,280,000 volumes, in addition to which Kansai University Library has a wide range of collection of invaluable manuscripts, 21,000 electronic journal titles, and other materials of various media. The annual acquisition of books, periodicals, and other materials numbers approximately 26,000 volumes.
By taking full advantage of state-of-the-art Information and Communication Technology (ICT), Kansai University Information Technology Center (IT Center) provides broad supports for study and research as well as school affairs. Students access websites on a daily basis for a variety of reasons such as writing reports, scientific computing, class registration and job seeking. The use of personal computers in a safe and comfortable Internet environment has become indispensable for students and faculties. To meet the needs of users, PCs are available along with a help desk at the Center. In addition, there are wireless access points set up on campus allowing students to use their own devices and access the university network.
KAISER, Kansai University"s gigabit science information network, has been established with the aim of providing support for advanced research and education, and it is available at all five of the university"s campuses (Senriyama, Takatsuki, Takatsuki Muse, Sakai and Umeda). The university connects to SINET5, which is a science information network operated by the National Institute of Informatics (NII) as a Japanese academic backbone network. The network is used to collaborate with research institutes both inside and outside the university, as well as to provide high level education through the use of multimedia tools.
