About Kyushu University

Kyushu University was established in 1911. It is a research-oriented institute of higher education in Fukuoka, which is historically renowned as Japans's gateway to Asia for profound cultural and economic interactions due to its geographical proximity to continental Asia. Kyushu has 12 undergraduate schools, 18 graduate schools, 17 faculties, 5 research institutes and a hospital, as well as over 50 affiliated research centers. Kyoshu has the 3rd largest area of land and buildings in Japan, approximately equivalent to 75.7 million meter square.


About Fukuoka

Fukuoka is Kyushu's largest city, located on the northern tip of Kyushu and boasting excellent transportation links. Due to its closeness to the Asian mainland, it has been an important harbour city for many centuries. Historically Fukuoka was divided by the central river into two separate cities, Hakata and Fukuoka, before their merge in 1889.
