While at university not only do our students acquire specialist technical knowledge in their chosen major, they also have the opportunity to broaden their horizons and learn about the world and people around them. This includes cultivating a deep awareness and understanding about the relationship between society and the environment, and understanding about different cultures and the importance of communication skills as a tool to play an active role in international society. Furthermore, from October this year the Faculty has become the first among all faculties and departments at Kyushu University to establish a degree program in English, enabling students to take all their courses and lectures in English, from the first year through to graduation. This development means that we are now able to welcome many overseas students. 1-9. Message for Applicants The new Ito Campus, which stretches over 275 hectares in Nishi Ward of Fukuoka City and Itoshima City, is the largest campus in Japan and is set in a beautiful location. From our new home we will continue to produce graduates with a global outlook, who possess specialist scientific and technical knowledge, coupled with outstanding skills that will help to lead future generations. I look forward to welcoming the young people of today, who are the bearers of dreams and hope for the future.

(The college was legally attached to Kyoto Imperial University at that time). In 1911, Kyushu Imperial University, along with the Colleges of Medicine and Engineering, were established. Since then various reforms have been made to the higher education system in Japan, such as the introduction of a new educational format after World War II and the reorganization of national universities to University Corporations in 2004. The total number of students currently amounts to19377, while the faculty members number2099. International exchange programs are also greatly encouraged at Kyushu University. With this in mind, the university accepts many overseas students each year. At present there are more than 1,500 international students from about eighty countries studying here. Kyushu University is located in Fukuoka city, which is the largest city of Kyushu island, Japan. http://www.isc.kyushu-u.ac.jp/g30/aboutus.html 3.Features of Graduate School Given Kyushu University's position as a foremost graduate university, the central aim the Graduate School of Engineering is to be a leader in the advancement of industrial technology in Japan. We endeavor to provide an education framework which nurtures talented individuals who possess outstanding professional and comprehensive abilities to assist the continuous development of human beings. To achieve this goal, in adherence to the Kyushu University Educational Charter, the Graduate 3 Kyushu University School emphasizes research and problem-solving skills, and develops creative-thinking ability. http://www.eng.kyushu-u.ac.jp/e/graduate/index.html 【International Master’s Program in Civil Engineering】 (Specific Research Fields No. 2.7.8.11.12) Department of Civil and Structural Engineering The Department of Civil and Structural Engineering offers comprehensive education and research opportunities related to the advanced construction materials used in social infrastructure facilities, the design and maintenance of structural stability and durability, evaluation of soil strength, earth reinforcement and foundation strengthening techniques, the geosphere environment (both ground-surface and underground), and disaster prevention systems. Through these education and research opportunities, we aim to systematically nurture engineers, researchers, and educators who will build and maintain the future social infrastructure. To achieve this, the following programs are offered: A high-level professional education with systemized instruction from foundation to application Internships with affiliated industries, government offices, and academia, and a practical education in the use of the TA/RA system An education with an international focus An education that trains students to develop leadership and independent problem solving skills throughout the entire research process. http://www.eng.kyushu-u.ac.jp/e/graduate/civil/index.html Department of Urban and Environmental Engineering The Department of Urban and Environmental Engineering provides comprehensive education and research opportunities by providing advanced knowledge and technology that contribute to environment preservation, reclamation, and creation. The purpose of this is to address the issues of community and urban environments, such as land use, landscape, traffic, water, and waste issues, with the aim of creating a harmonious natural and human environment. We also nurture engineers, researchers, and educators who will be able to support the future social infrastructure and its maintenance. To achieve these goals, we offer the following education programs: A high-level professional education with systemized instruction from foundation to application Internships with affiliated industries, governments, and academia, and a practical education in the use of the TA/RA system.
