Currently, the resea r ch and development of effective measures against global issues, such as
large-scale disasters and global warming, are essential. This will be accomplished through the promo-
tion of a comprehensive, interdisciplinary education system focused on the development of human
security and the advancement of human-security principles across
national boundaries. In Asia, the population is expected to age rap-
idly following its recent explosive population growth, creating vari-
ous challenges related to food and water resources, energy and en-
vironment, and public health. These challenges urgently require
long-term sustainable solutions that take local social systems into
consideration.
We endeavor to nurture high-minded future leaders who will advance the cause of human security
development. I look forward to working with everyone involved in the program and would ask for the
understanding and support of everyone involved.

Experience
The summer school program is offered to undergraduate
students, who are expected to learn how to identify problems in
consideration of both local and global contexts.
Learn
The Executive Committee of the AUN-KU Student Mobility
Program, composed of representatives from KU and AUN
member universities, has established a collaborative master's
program by utilizing a credit transfer system. The AUN-KU
Student Mobility Program also offers common subjects and
major subjects in the fields of "Food a nd Water Resources,"
"Energy and Environment," and "Public Health."
Create
Students are expected to deepen their knowledge of their major
fields, select an issue to tackle, and conduct research to elaborate
a solution to the issue for their master's thesis. Master's students
may also participate in the summer school to instruct undergradu-
ate students, which will be evaluated'by their supervisors.
Summer school
The KU-AUN Education Consortium offers a summer school program to undergraduate students.
3
Summer schools are conducted in Kyoto and the surrounding area as well as in ASEAN countries.
During the course of the two-week summer school, participant students learn on site about agriculture,
energy, environment, and their related fields of study in the context of "human security development."
The field of study depends on the theme of the summer school. Students also experience the local
culture and society, and communicate with people. Thus, the students are expected to learn how to
identify problems while considering both the local and global contexts.
Outline of the summer school program for the 2012-2016 academic years
Master's program
The KU-AUN Education Consortium offers three kinds of master's programs: three-year
double-major double-degree; two-year double degree; two-year single-degree under joint supervision.
The double-degree programs are offered by KU and its six partner universities: Gadjah Mada
University (Indonesia), Institute of Technology Bandung (Indonesia), University of Malaya
(Malaysia), Chulalongkorn University (Thailand), National University of Singapore, and Kasetsart
University (Thailand, a non-member of AUN). The two-year single-degree program under joint
supervision is offered by KU and the other 25 AUN member universities that do not offer the
double-degree program.
