The [[Consortium of Universities in Kyoto]] is a Kyoto-based higher education network consisting of three national universities, three public (prefectural and municipal) universities, 45 private universities, five other organizations, and representatives from the city government. The Consortium does not offer degrees, but allows students of member universities to take courses at other member universities.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.consortium.or.jp/english |title=English |publisher=Consortium of Universities in Kyoto |access-date=July 15, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140720152009/http://www.consortium.or.jp/english |archive-date=July 20, 2014 |url-status=dead}}</ref>
