University Overview
個を伸ばし個を磨く 九州産業大学長 榊泰輔

Our university aims to be a "global comprehensive university that integration of humanities, sciences, and arts" and is committed to nurturing highly specialized talent with rich creativity and sensitivity by implementing a long-term vision based on a bold concept and taking steady steps to realize it.

I want students to predict the future, make hypotheses, tackle things, and acquire the ability to think dynamically and creatively. I think that thinking that transcends the time axis and aims for the next era, so-called design thinking, is extremely important. To do that, each student needs to learn a variety of things that go beyond boundaries, combining the humanities, sciences, and arts.

What we want to foster are practical "T-shaped challengers" who combine generalists with knowledge of a wide range of genres and specialists in specific fields, who are highly motivated to take on new challenges, and who can contribute to the community. To that end, all faculties offer T-shaped learning that integration of humanities, sciences, and arts, PBL-style learning in collaboration with the community and industry, and learning that will ensure that each student's "exit" is met, such as obtaining the qualifications or licenses they are aiming for.

We will continue to view this "age of change" as an "age of opportunity" and will continue to devote our efforts to supporting students and reforming education.
