If you are a graduate of a university outside Japan and wish to enroll at our graduate school, you must do one crucial thing before applying to that school. What is this crucial thing? It is to find a Kyushu University researcher who is willing to guide your study/ research. It is only then that you will be given permission to apply to the school. The Pre-admission Support Desk (PSD) serves as your first point of contact, and helps you locate your potential supervisor. Who is eligible to use PSD’s services? It is not that all international students are eligible for PSD&＃8217;s services. You must fulfill all these criteria to use PSD. You (i) have graduated or expect to graduate from a university outside Japan, and (ii) wish to enroll as a degree-seeking student or a non-degree research student (iii) at one of the graduate schools listed below. Grad schools that require you to use PSD Graduate School of Human-Environmental Studies Graduate school of Economics (ONLY for those who wish to enroll as “Research Student”) Graduate School of Mathematics Department of Health Sciences at the Graduate School of Medical Sciences Graduate School of Dental Science Graduate School of Pharmaceutical Sciences (EXCEPT those who have already found their supervisors on their own) Department of Library Science at the Graduate School of Integrated Frontier Science As a rule, the graduate schools listed below do not ask you to use PSD, but nonetheless SOME of their professors individually ask you to use PSD.

From the day we received your request to use PSD, it may take more than three weeks before you are given permission to apply officially to the school of your interest. Please plan wisely. Getting permission to get in touch with your potential supervisor does not mean that you have been given his/ her permission to apply to his/ her school. You must secure his/her consent by persuading him/her that your research is meaningful. If you have questions concerning admissions, curriculum details, etc., of the school of your interest, please contact the school directly. However, let PSD know in case there is not enough time before the application deadline for the school. Make sure that you yourself, and no one else, enter information on the pre-admission support system.
