OVERVIEW

Engineering is continuously evolving to meet the developments of our society as well as to create the future. The seventeen Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for the future have been recently set by the United Nations. Engineering is involved in almost all the SDGs to be achieved. Graduate School of Engineering at Kyushu University consists of 11 departments, which encompass majority of engineering. All the departments have international courses where the activities are entirely done in English, in addition to the standard Japanese ones. In both courses you will join a laboratory to which you are assigned and will be involved in a specific research subject for the Master/Doctor thesis, which nobody knows the exact solutions yet. In the laboratory you may meet not only your supervisor but also other foreign and/or Japanese students in friendly rivalry. This environment will surely bring you a fruitful university life. The Graduate School of Engineering is proud of the state-of-art world-class research facilities, such as super computers, a wide variety of advanced analytical and synthesis instruments, high-end electron microscopes and related apparatus, low temperature facilities, particle accelerators, a synchrotron light source, precise wind tunnel equipment, a giant water pool (not for human usage!), and so on. The well-equipped facilities enable you to carry out your own research in the international level. We do hope that you will enjoy the close encounters with various unknowns at the Graduate School of Engineering, Kyushu University.

Student’s Voice

What is your research about?
My research on fuel cell focuses on accelerating the improvement of fuel cell performance via machine learning and artificial intelligence. Coming from a chemistry background, I did not have any knowledge about programming, let alone building a machine learning model prior to my research. I am thankful for my advisor for always being available and patiently guiding me through the difficulties faced during research. This supportive and nurturing environment played a huge role in learning the necessary programming skills, to make progress in my research. Kyushu University has a friendly environment and vast resources to support our lives both within and outside of research, and I am proud to be a student of Kyushu University.
What is an advantage of Kyushu University?
I have been a member of photography club since coming to Kyushu University. Main activities include organizing photo exhibition and monthly photo shooting trips in and around Fukuoka. I have had a lot of fun exploring the country through a different lens with other friends in the club.
