Fukuoka University, Private research university in Fukuoka, Japan
This private institution operates across two locations in the Nanakuma and Kitakyushu districts. More than 19,000 learners attend courses across nine faculties and several graduate programs.
Umetaro Mizoguchi founded the institution in 1934 as a regional college in western Japan. Over the decades it has grown into a large research institution with its own hospital.
Exchange programs with partner institutions across Asia and Europe bring students from different countries to campus regularly. The mix of local and international learners becomes visible in shared residence halls and during joint events throughout the academic year.
Fukudaimae Station on the Nanakuma subway line offers direct access to the main campus and connects the institution to downtown areas. The Fukudai-Mae bus stop provides additional routes to other neighborhoods.
The affiliated hospital combines medical treatment with academic training and serves patients from across the Kyushu region. Many undergraduates can gain hands-on experience at the facility during early semesters.
