Overview
Kyoto Bunkyo Junior College (京都文教短期大学) is a private two-year college in Uji, Kyoto Prefecture, run by the school corporation Kyoto Bunkyo Gakuen.
The college was authorised in 1960 as Kasei Gakuen Junior College, was renamed Kyoto Kasei Junior College in 1961, and took its current name in 1980. The corporation traces its origins to a girls' domestic-science school founded in 1904 by a Buddhist priest, and the college's education is based on Buddhist principles.
The Department of Integrated Life Design offers a Life Design Course and a Nutritionist Course, and a separate Department of Early Childhood Education trains future childcare and kindergarten staff. Credit transfer with the sister university, shared subjects and transfer-admission routes are described on the college's department pages.
Tuition is paid in a spring and an autumn instalment, and the college lists its fees, with the amounts for the 2025 entry year, on its own site.
The college provides its own scholarships, including awards for entrance examination results, academic achievement and financial need, as well as Buddhist-affiliated and alumni awards and the national student support scheme.
