For International Students

The school has established the "Jikei COM International Center" to ensure that international students can spend their school life with peace of mind from the time they enter the school to after graduation. Our dedicated staff will individually consult with each student on matters such as application, visa, tuition, scholarship, etc. before enrollment, as well as on life in Japan during the school year. During the school year, Japanese language preparatory classes, homeroom teachers, and career/debut staff will support students in finding jobs and making their debut.

School Features

Koyo Conservatory of Music had continued cooperation with Berklee College of Music, one of the best music colleges in the world for 25 years and strived to foster the best musicians being active around the world since the establishment in Kobe in 1980. It has been renewed as Kobe Koyo School of Music and Dance, a comprehensive school of music and entertainment that added fields of dance and entertainment.
Kobe Koyo School of Music and Dance is a newly formed school to take experiences at actual worksite into the curriculum to be work-ready human resources.
In addition to the classes that incorporate the world-class Berklee method, Kobe Koyo College of Music & Dance has incorporated the professional experience into its curriculum in order to provide students with the ready-to-work skills that the music industry is now demanding.
