Academic English Program (TUJ Kyoto)

Temple University, Japan Campus (TUJ), Academic English Program (AEP) offers English courses to study English from "Everyday English" to "University English." We offer courses specialized in academic English skills throughout the year that are necessary at universities and graduate schools. We also offer internships and courses for English teachers. Short-term courses in which students can experience American-style student-centered classes are also offered for elementary school students to university students of various English levels.
TUJ has recently opened “TUJ Kyoto” as a new location in January 2025. From August 2025, AEP also offers the following courses at TUJ Kyoto.
