Support Team System

The Support Team System is a system in which Kyushu University students work as supporters to assist international students who have just entered KU to adjust to their new environment as quickly as possible and provide support for student life and daily living. The work expected of supporters includes assisting international students with procedures necessary for their daily lives, interpreting (Japanese-English), etc.
Applications are accepted every year in late February (for international students entering in April) and late August (for international students entering in October).
Before starting support services, an orientation is provided so that even first-time supporters can feel comfortable.
“I want to make use of my English!” “I want to make friends with foreign students!” “I want to acquire an international mindset!” If you are interested in communicating with international students, please join us!
