Extra-curricular Activities (Clubs and Circles)
＜Extra-curricular Activities (Student Union Clubs)＞
University education includes both curricular and extra-curricular education activities. Curricular education refers to activities that form part of the formal curriculum, including educational or research activities, whereas extra-curricular education refers to activities outside of the formal curriculum. Both types of activities are extremely important to the University, and we liken them to the two wheels of a vehicle; that is, we believe that both of them are necessary to remain balanced and move forward.
Voluntary extracurricular activities give students the chance to learn independence as well as cooperation through group activities, providing a unique opportunity to develop a sense of responsibility and duty. Moreover, they encourage personal development and self-improvement during a formative stage of life. As such, we sincerely recommend students to make the most of their campus life by getting involved in an extra-curricular activity.
＜The Student Union＞
The Student Union is an autonomous student-run organization that aims to develop creativity and innovation at Okayama University through a wide range of sports and cultural activities. The union is university-authorized, and the University directly supports club activities by providing on-campus facilities, such as rooms and equipment.
