There are 284 regular students currently enrolled at Kobe Design University, making up about 16% of the school's student body. The school offers a space every month for international students to get critical information about scholarships, events, and daily living, to make sure they can enjoy their student lives to the fullest. We also offer an international student supporter (tutor) system. Students can ask questions and consult with senior students about how to register for classes, questions about daily life, and so on. We also hold events for students to interact with Japanese students.
