Frequently Asked Questions
- Are there plans to create alumni associations in prefectures and countries that do not have one?
- Kyoto University Alumni Association wishes to have as many alumni associations as possible across Japan and in other countries. Alumni are primarily in charge of creating and running alumni associations, but the Kyoto University Alumni Secretariat is also happy to help. Please feel free to contact us (alumni@www.adm.kyoto-u.ac.jp).
- I would like to join several alumni associations. Is there an upper limit?
- There is no upper limit. You can join any local or thematic alumni association in Japan or abroad as long as the association approves and confirms your application. However, most alumni associations for faculties, graduate schools, clubs, and extracurricular activities require that applicants are graduates of the relevant faculty/graduate school or former members of the relevant club/extracurricular activity.
- Are there any benefits to joining an alumni association?
- If you join the alumni association of your faculty or graduate school, you can obtain the latest information about that faculty or graduate school and the classes there. Further, you can deepen your interactions and friendships with faculty members, seniors, and juniors. If you join a local or thematic alumni association, you can meet and interact with people in various professions and cross boundaries of age and what you studied. Moreover, local and thematic alumni associations in Japan offer opportunities to hear cutting-edge research results from Kyoto University lecturers.
