Overview

At Kyushu University, the Human Science Course consists of a Master program and a Doctoral program for both Japanese and non-Japanese students and educates students mainly in Japanese. However, the educational language of subjects is changed to English when students of the Human Science International Course also follow the lectures.

Features

Course students can acquire profound specialization in human science, yet with wide background knowledge; the Master program is designed in such a way that students can study subjects of the three Sections mentioned in the above, without bias to a certain Section.

The Master program has one enrollment in April, and the Doctoral program has two enrollments in April and October. All enrollment examinations are held on our campus.
