Business Overview
In light of the Act on the Elimination of Discrimination against Persons with Disabilities, which came into effect in April 2016, the University Consortium Kyoto is working on projects related to support for students with disabilities, which are in high demand from member schools. This time, we will hold a training session with “entrance examination” as the keyword as follows. We look forward to your participation.
