Overview

KGU first launched the KGU Semester Online Program a year and a half ago to the day. Given the numerous positive feedbacks we have received from participants, we are happy to continue to offer this alternative to physical mobility for the upcoming spring semester.

With the revamped program, we are proud to announce a number of exciting features that should make it attractive to more students!

Interactions with KGU students

You may have heard that online mobility means that you will have less social interactions with local students and fellow international students. To remedy to this lack of "contact", we will be offering two new attractive opportunities to Online Exchange Students.

Online KG Buddy

Be paired with KGU students, gain a better understanding of the Japanese society and make new friends along the way. A mandatory Orientation/ Meet and Greet Session will be held on during orientation.

Global Student (GS) Network Events

Participate in weekly online intercultural events such as J-pop Night, Kobe Virtual Tour, Quiz Contest...
You can have a look at what the GS Network has been doing this past year on their Instagram account. Don't hesitate to follow them to keep up-to-date.
