Nagasaki University of Foreign Studies (NUFS), founded in 1945 as Nagasaki College of Foreign Languages, is an independent, co-educational four-year liberal arts university. Inaugurated in Fall 2019, this exchange program offers KSU students with some Japanese language ability the opportunity to study at one of the seven foreign language institutions in Japan. Students may study for a semester or academic year. Although NUFS is a relatively small school with approximately 1,000 students, many opportunities exist for exchange students to become involved on campus and in the local community. The campus is currently located in Togitsu-cho, a suburb of Nagasaki City, and is bordered by Nagasaki City on two sides with a spectacular view of Omura Bay from its hilltop perch. There are new buildings on campus, including a gymnasium, multimedia library, and extensive multimedia center. There is one on-campus residence hall where exchange students live amongst other international and Japanese students.

Spring, Fall, Academic Year
Dormitory
Students may participate in an academic year, fall semester, or spring semester exchange at Nagasaki University of Foreign Studies. NUFS is a foreign language institution, so all students are studying to become fluent in a second language. Exchange students will take language courses taught in Japanese and elective courses taught in English. While Japanese language courses are offered to true beginners, it is highly recommended that students have prior knowledge of the language (completion of Elementary Japanese I at minimum).
