Mathematics Degrees

hose who wish to attend Kyushu University must pass the admissions test administered by the university before being accepted for enrollment. The only exceptions to this rule are international students on Japanese government scholarships.
　With different methods, depending on the faculty and graduate school course, a special admissions test system is available for foreign applicants. In addition, there are some faculties that recognize transfer students through their own tests.
　Applicants can also enroll as research students to gain a preparatory education prior to enrolling in the graduate school, and then apply for our graduate school after becoming familiar with research and living in Japan.

Department of Mathematics and Information aims to create superior professionals in mathematics and information coping with the requirement in a modern society by combining and teaching advanced mathematics and its applications on the basis of mathematics, and a foundation for natural science and applied engineering.
All the students profoundly learn basic mathematics and mathematic methods using mathematics and computers directly used in application areas such as finance, insurance and telecommunication industry.

The College of Natural Sciences provides education and research in pure basic science as the basis for understanding nature and systematizing the universe. Students are encouraged to develop an intellectual curiosity along with creative yet disciplined thought. The curriculum is designed in such a way that students not only meet the requirements for their selected major, but also take other related courses in social sciences, arts, and humanities.
The College is also very active in research, which is conducted individually or as joint projects in conjunction with the Institute of Basic Sciences, Research Institute of Genetic Engineering, Topology and Geometry Research Center, Center for High Energy Physics, Radiation Science Research Institute, Research Center of Nano Optical Materials, Research Institute of Seismology and Applied Geology, Software Technology Research Center, and Institute of Environmental Science.
