"Language opens our ways to the future" -
with this theme, Kansai College is moving toward the new century.

Kansai College of Business and Languages is a vocational college enforcement as well as the first licensed specialized school of language study in Kansai Area. Since then, we have tackled fields in language, business and international education having produced thus far a number of outstanding, highly skilled people to the world.

In April of 1989, in response to a strong request having come from all directions, established Japanese language courses that draws a line between a general Japanese school, and also to the materialization of a higher quality field of education to which we base our theme on, usually receiving high valuations both domestic and internationally that extends to this day.

In June of 1994, the Ministry of Education, Japan (taken from the Ministry of Education Notice, chapter 84) decided to award a Technical Associates Degree towards graduating students of vocational colleges who meet the regular conditions. The Ministry of Justice, Japan, also accepted awarding of this degree, revised its statutes of the Ministry of Justice and as of July, 1997, students possessing a Technical Associates Degree, regardless of one's educational or employment history were considered for jobs in Japan.

In July of 1998, the Ministry of Education officially recognized transferable credits between universities and vocational colleges which had been a pending matter until then and enforced the revision of the school's educational laws and regulations which made possible for Technical Associates admittance to universities, etc. This way, vocational colleges were not a single one of Japan's higher educational system and had also received a high valuation from abroad, steadily coming to achieve growth as an international education system. International students studying at Kansai College of Business and Languages are being granted with various privileges in view of qualifications and systems, to provisions of public scholarships, medical expense assistance and grant support, public housing, etc., as regular students.

It can therefore be said that Kansai College is just one of a handful of Japanese educational facilities that is able to provide an outstanding learning environment and broad possibilities after graduation.
