In addition, the university has three graduate schools offering postgraduate courses to students wishing to continue their education in letters, public policy, and life and environmental sciences. Kyoto Prefectural University offers several avenues to explore international exchange while studying a degree. Students can choose to study abroad or participate in an international exchange throughout their programme. The university has academic exchange agreements with universities in France, China, Germany, Thailand, Australia, the USA and several other countries offering students the opportunity to form links with a new culture, population and location.
