Comprehensive Science of Biological Environment Kyushu University

Overview

Global environmental problems have come to be seen as problems of the entire human race, and the critical situation has made people’s interest in biodiversity increase, while environmental problems are frequently reported by the media. 

Since many environmental problems are caused by human activities, it is necessary not only to study natural science, but also understand the problems from the perspectives of multidirectional fields, including the relationship between the environment and humans. The students can deepen their knowledge of the fields where it is the main subject of each study in this course. But also this courseComprehensive Science of Biological Environment at Kyushu University provides an opportunity for them to study basic knowledge and theories over a wide range of fields such as biology, geography and political science.

Career:

In this course, many students have been visiting sites worldwide and have achieved important research results. Some became researchers at universities, companies or the research facilities of independent administrative agencies after completion of the course. We would like to nurture unique and independent researchers through developing their various interests extending from biodiversity to the environment, and from the environment to humans, while they study bio-philosophical questions such as “what is evolution?”, “what is species?” and “how can species be classified?”, as well as solution-type study, such as analyzing the possibility of the environmental policies to be realized and plotting the future image of the global environment.
