Osaka University of Tourism and Society

Academic reseach is deepened basing on the keyword "tourism" and contributions being made to siciety from various angles.

Human resouces with abilities to contribute to society are producted in our university,"disseminating" to the world as well as local communities from our studies on tourism.

The concept of Tourism Studies that Osaka University of Tourism aims for is to acquire a general knowledge and master practical abilities based on the real world while developing expertise from everything that has been learned. We believe that forming a close tie with society through study is the ideal stance a university should assume. Our students are sent out on externship to firms and organizations in our Internship Course during their third year to gain diverse knowledge and experiences. At the same time, in order for the students to give back to society in-full from their experiences, we are creating a cycle in which students master further knowledge and skills so that they can contribute to society after they graduate. Our staff have begun to create a bond of cooperation between business and the university through awards they have received for research papers presented in academic conferences in collaboration with businesses. We hope to continue to form a single unit with the students and teachers to contribute to society by deepening our studies with the local community and businesses.
