The current number of undergraduate and graduate students totals approximately 4300, with another 4600 students matriculated in affiliated schools. Among Japanese universities, OKU is a one of the leading producers of qualified teachers and leading large-scale college of education. The main campus of OKU was established in the Kongo Ikoma Kisen National Park, in Kashiwara City, Osaka. In addition, OKU also has a centrally located campus in Tennoji, one of information and industrial hubs of Osaka. Moreover, OKU aims to become a comprehensive university of education by making up to 11 affiliated schools for elementary, secondary and special needs education in Tennoji and Hirano wards of Osaka City and Ikeda City, Osaka Prefecture. The Center for Global Education and Research provides services with the objective of expanding teacher education by cooperating with other educational/research institutes both domestic and overseas. It also aims to advance human resource development, meeting the demand of globalized society. It is made up of four departments, including the Collaborative Development, International Education, Language Education, and International Student Education. The Collaborative Development department provides support for promoting academic collaborations with universities overseas and strengthen the collaborative relationship with local communities. The primary task of the International Education department is to nurture students with a global point of view by encouraging the outbound mobility of its students. The Language Education department plays an important role in the language education of the university and provides support for students' self-motivated language learning by running the Global Learning Community.
