CIEC Health Center Personal Counseling

Center for International Education and Cooperation (CIEC)

The Center for International Education and Cooperation (CIEC) is the central coordinating office for all students, faculty, and staff coming to KGU and going abroad.
The CIEC office is located on the first floor (ground floor) of Building G. All administrative matters applicable to exchange students are dealt with through the CIEC office.

Health Center

The Health Centers are located in Nishinomiya Uegahara Campus and Kobe Sanda Campus. They provide first-aid treatment for minor illnesses and injuries. If a student's illness or injury requires more care than can be provided at KGU, the Health Centers will refer the student to a nearby medical institution.

Students will experience stress until they are accustomed to their life away from home and to the environment of the university. This stress can weaken the immune system and cause students to catch colds or other illnesses more easily than usual. Students are encouraged to visit this facility whenever needed.

Personal Counseling

The Counseling Room is located in Student Services Center 3rd floor at Nishinomiya Uegahara Campus and KGU's professional counselors can assist students in English or Japanese. Counselors offer assistance for academic issues, interpersonal relationships, and culture shock. Students are encouraged to visit this facility whenever feeling the need to talk with someone. Counseling is provided on a reservation basis and privacy is strictly protected. More details are available on the CIEC Bulletin Board.
