Overview

International Cooperation, Security and Safety from Kyushu University underlines the importance of “problem solving approach”. Issues in human society can only be understood through multilayered perspectives, especially in the contemporary world that is increasingly getting more and more complicated. Therefore, collaborations and knowledge integration among various academic disciplines are necessary to deal with such various challenges.

For example, let us think about the goal of fostering industries and achieving a well-off and more equal society in a developing country. To realize this goal, one needs to learn not only about economics and managements, but also politics and welfare in that country. History and culture are also related; knowledge on the international relations, as well as technology and environmental studies are important. It is necessary to bridge wisdoms of these fields dynamically to scrutinize the related problems and draw solutions based on various considerations.

Careers:

The graduates of our course choose multiple careers. There are many alumni who continue their research in academia, and work in national or private universities such as Nagoya University, Niigata University, Fukuoka University, etc. Some, mostly international graduates, work in universities outside of Japan. Others work in public service in national or local governments as well as in the business world, making use of interdisciplinary and problem solving approaches to deal with practical issues they face.
