Since the 1980's, Ritsumeikan, as a private institution, has continued education reform through the installation of College of International Relations in 1988, openings of Biwako-Kusatsu Campus(BKC)
in 1994 and Osaka Ibaraki Campus(OIC) in 2015.
Who could have imagined at the beginning of the 20th century that in the future,
the small town of Hitati in Ibaraki Prefecture was to become the location of a large
conglomerate for the production of advanced household appliances.
Ritsumeikan has set forth the Academy Vision R2020 as a portrait of the existence of the Ritsumeikan Academy in 2020 with the slogan,“Creating a Future Beyond Borders.” Opening of our new campus,
Osaka Ibaraki Campus in 2015 is the core competence.
