Kyusyu University has implemented the ” bilingualization of internal documents issued by the Administration Burean to Departments ” using a translation tool (DeepL) since April 1st 2022. The purpose of this initiative is to internationalize the on-campus environment surrounding all members including international faculty members and students, in terms of education, research, and daily life. It also aims to build a foundation that promotes the international talent circulation as outlined in the concept of VISION2030.

From October 2025, all internal documents issued by the administrative department will be bilingual in Japanese and English as a general rule, and we plan to implement bilingual Japanese-English internal documents throughout the university.
