International Education Navigation Center

Kyushu University’s Educational Charter states, “The mission of Kyushu University’s education is to nurture leaders who will excel in diverse fields in Japan and actively engage across Asia and the world, thereby contributing to the development of both Japan and global society.”

Based on this fundamental philosophy, the International Education Navigation Center was established in April 2024. The Center aims to centralize internal and external information on international education, provide comprehensive international education navigation from pre-enrollment through post-graduation, make recommendations to university executives for developing Kyushu University’s international strategy, and promote and support the internationalization of education across all departments.

To effectively utilize the university’s international education resources, the Center consolidates information about each department’s achievements and experiences in international education, as well as campus internationalization initiatives accumulated at Kyushu University. These educational programs and expertise are then shared across other departments. Additionally, the Center provides comprehensive academic and support navigation services to all students, including international students, throughout their entire journey from pre-enrollment through post-graduation.
