Description : Slovakia’s capital lies on the western border of Slovakia, essentially at the center of Slovakia and surrounding countries - the Czech Republic to the north, Austria to the west, and Hungary to the south. Slovakia is home to stunning medieval castles and lush mountain ranges all while having a generally low cost of living and remaining a bit further away from the busy congestion of tourism. In the Slovakian capital of Bratislava, you will find the University of Comenius, where students from Slovakia, Europe, and around the world come to experience the city's thriving culture, low cost of living, and high-rated academics. UNO students will be particularly drawn in by the University of Comenius's wide selection of courses taught in English. UNO sends and receives students from the University of Comenius through the MAUI-Utrecht Consortium, which was established in 1998 with UNO as a member institution.

Description : KGU is located between Osaka and Kobe, so there's plenty to keep students interested, and with the public transportation in Japan, travel is convenient. UNO students stay on campus or increase their immersion by living with a host family within commutable distance to the cities. Kyoto, Japan's former medieval capital city, is just a train ride away. Students can participate in the Contemporary Japan Program (CJP) while on exchange at Kwansei Gakuin University (KGU), choosing either the Japanese Language track to focus on language acquisition or the Modern Japan track to focus on international studies or other coursework offered in English. Language courses and content courses can also be taken in the summer. UNO has welcomed many students from KGU and sent many students to KGU since becoming exchange partners in 2015.
