“Plaza Recommended Courses” are distinctive courses offered at Campus Plaza Kyoto that were developed in cooperation with the University Consortium Kyoto and the university for credit transfer.
In fiscal 2018, 15 courses will be offered, including the Kyoto World Heritage PBL course, which works to discover and solve World Heritage issues set in Kyoto’s World Heritage Site.

Kyoto World Heritage PBL Courses

The “Kyoto World Heritage PBL Course” is a course in which PBL*1 is developed in the field of Kyoto’s World Heritage Sites. In the class, students mainly learn in groups to discover the issues faced by the World Heritage Site and its surrounding areas on their own and propose solutions. In cooperation with students from other universities, students work to solve problems through dialogue with people involved in World Heritage sites, which is a course unique to the consortium’s credit transfer. If you want to collaborate with students from other universities, or if you are interested in Kyoto and cultural heritage, please take this course.
