Features	Beginning in 1876 as Kyoto Prefectural Normal School, the Kyoto University of Education has been endowed with 148 years of history and tradition. Although a college for teacher training, it is a comprehensive educational university with thirteen undergraduate departments, including Educational Science, Japanese Language, Social Studies, Science Education, Art Education, Music Education, and Physical Education. Our Graduate Schools offer two courses: the Graduate School’s for master’s degrees and the United Graduate School of Professional Teacher Education’s course for special educational academic degrees. The campus is the south of Kyoto City, a city that not only represents, as the old capital, Japanese traditional culture with its many World Heritage sites, cultural assets and rich spiritual culture, but also Japanese modern culture, with its famous Kyoto Station and Manga Museum—a city in which one can experience both historical and contemporary Japanese culture.
