Warmest greetings from Fukuoka Women’s University, Japan!
Fukuoka Women’s University (FWU)-located in one of Asia’s most attractive cities, namely Fukuoka- has accumulated a history of personal and academic exchange with universities in Asia and around the rest of the globe. FWU was originally established in 1923 (Taisho year 12) as Fukuoka Prefectural College for Women and it was the first public women’s college in Japan. Today it still upholds this tradition of bright women’s higher education. FWU produced many graduates who played an active part domestically or abroad and it has contributed largely to the higher education of women in Japan. FWU links the education of “International Liberal arts・Leadership・Creativity” to its strong foundation of splendid higher education for women and the faculty staff is working hard as a team to train people that can play an active part at the global frontlines.
We are delighted to inform you that the application for World of Japanese Contemporary Culture (WJC) Program for Fall 2026 – Spring 2027 is now open for Universitas Gadjah Mada students.
