Kobe University KIMAP — Interdisciplinary Master’s Program Website
A clear, international-facing website for Kobe University’s English-language interdisciplinary master’s program across Law, Economics and Business Administration.
How can a website communicate a place where disciplines—and students from Japan and around the world—meet? We designed KIMAP’s official site to make its interdisciplinary, international learning environment clear and actionable for prospective students.
Open the value of interdisciplinary learning through a clear international gateway.
The Kobe University Interdisciplinary Master Program (KIMAP) is jointly offered by the Graduate Schools of Law, Economics and Business Administration. Classes are delivered in English, bringing Japanese and international students together as they address challenges that cross disciplinary boundaries.
Different stages of consideration require different information: programme features, courses, student life, admissions, news and events. We combined a visual expression of the programme’s ambition with a structure that makes this information easy to find and act on.

- International education-programme communication
Turn a programme spanning multiple graduate schools into one clear digital experience.
The richer a graduate programme is, the more complex it can feel to a first-time visitor. Rather than leaving KIMAP’s interdisciplinarity and international scope as abstract ideas, we organised a route through the programme, courses, student life and application information that makes the value tangible.
Create anticipation, support comparison and make the route to application clear.
Begin with the promise of the learning journey
The “START YOUR JOURNEY” message and visual direction help prospective students picture moving into a new, internationally connected learning environment.
Make the programme structure easy to see
The collaboration of three graduate schools, English-language learning, cross-disciplinary courses and student-life information are arranged in a clear consideration flow.
Keep changing information accessible
News, events, timetables and admissions information help the official website communicate the programme’s current activity as well as its long-term value.
An official website that connects globally minded students with what they could study next.
An education website is both an information resource and an institution’s first conversation with future students. We created a foundation for KIMAP to communicate its interdisciplinary learning, international exchange and continually updated activity with clarity.
