How to contact your potential supervisor
Regardless of whether you intend to enroll in Kyushu University as a degree (Master's or Doctoral) student or a non-degree (research) student, you must FIRST get in contact with a Kyushu U faculty member under whom you wish to conduct research, and discuss the details of your research. You may THEN officially apply to the Graduate School of Engineering.
1. Information about our faculty members can be found in the webpages below:
1-1. “Search Laboratories”

2-1. For faculty members whose names appear in the list below, please contact the Pre-Admission Support Desk (PSD) first.
The list of faculty members of the Graduate School of Engineering who use the PSD system. Please click HERE
Please bear in mind that even if you are able to contact your preferred supervisor via PSD, it does not necessarily mean that he/she will give you an informal consent to supervise you. For more information about our pre-admission support scheme, please click HERE.
2-2. For faculty members whose names do not appear on the list (“the list of faculty members of the Graduate School of Engineering who use the PSD system”), please try to contact them DIRECTLY via the e-mail addresses given in 1-1 and/or 1-2 above. However, even if you are able to contact your preferred supervisor directly, it does not necessarily mean that he/she will give you an informal consent to supervise you.
NB: even if you cannot reach your preferred supervisor on your own, PSD will not help you contact him/ her on your behalf unless his/ her name appears on “the list of faculty members of the Graduate School of Engineering who use the PSD system.”
