Saga Prefecture is in northwest Kyushu. Since ancient times,
people in Saga have been enjoying exchanges of people, ideas,
technologies and goods with China, Korea, and Southeast Asia
because of this geographical advantage.
Saga extends from the Genkai Sea in the north to the Ariake
Sea in the south. The Sefuri Mountain Range runs east-west
and defines the northern edge of the vast Saga Plains, located
at the center of the prefecture.
Living in Saga, students can enjoy the stunning beauty
of nature and the four seasons. Residents of Saga offer
international students a warm welcome and invitations to
numerous local activities and events throughout the year.
Fukuoka (pop. 1.5 million), the biggest city in Kyushu, is a halfhour
from Saga by train. Students can enjoy its dynamic and
cosmopolitan atmosphere on weekends.
Saga University was formed by the integration of the former
Saga University and Saga Medical School. The university
is undertaking various kinds of projects aiming to be the
center of knowledge in Asia and appealing to a broad range
of students, including those from abroad. We promote an
attractive campus life with strong academic support and career
education.
Saga University also promotes world-class research projects
and has unique research facilities that address crucial global
issues such as environmental and energy problems. Institute
of Ocean Energy, Ceramic Research Center,and the Kyushu
Synchrotron Light Research Center are several of Saga’s
research facilities. Saga University endeavors to be a university
that has roots in the community, allowing students and faculty
to discover and solve various problems in close cooperation
with local and international society.
