At Kyushu Dental University, we view dentistry as medical care that supports people's daily lives and well-being through oral health. Our goal is to train dental professionals. As a university of oral medicine, we have structured our disciplines to ideal for team medical care. Campus life is the field of practice.

Kyushu Dental University has made significant contributions to the advancement of dental medicine and dental care with its long history and tradition as the only public university out of 29 dental universities and faculty of dentistry at universities. In 2014, we celebrated the centennial of the university's founding to further improve and develop our educational, research, and clinical activities as a university of oral medicine.

More value may be placed on just producing professional practitioners in today's medical and dentistry educational systems. However, here at Kyushu Dental University, we make changes to meet the demands of our times because we are determined to train our students to be dental care practitioners who are truly professional and possess a sense of humanity.

We also engage in cooperation with other universities. In 2009, we started an integrated graduate studies program for dentistry and engineering with the Kyushu Institute of Technology. We are working to develop a research environment that allows for cooperation with other fields. As a part of this effort, Kyushu Dental University, in cooperation with other three universities in the Kitakyushu region, launched a project in 2012 that aims to develop future professionals with expertise and skills that meet regional demands. The project receives grant-in-aid from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science, and Technology.

Kyushu Dental University is committed to following the missions stated here. These missions explain the kind of professional training, social contributions, and research we aspire to achieve.

  • To train dental care practitioners who possess a high level of professionalism and expertise
  • To fulfill a vital role in community health care
  • To promote research that supports dental medicine

Kyushu Dental University provides students with a high-quality liberal arts education, and professional education and trains accomplished individuals who practice patient-centered health care. To accomplish our mission, we set the following goals for the education and research we provide.

  • We educate students to be creative health care practitioners who are flexible and can independently solve problems.
  • We educate students to be health care practitioners who can contribute to society through oral health care.
  • We reinforce our function as a core medical institution for advanced dental and oral medical care by training students to be dental care practitioners with a high level of expertise.
  • We promote research that supports dental medicine and pursue research in cooperation with local and regional communities.
  • We step up efforts to educate students as individuals who can contribute to international society and accept more exchange students to reinforce cooperation with educational and research institutions for dentistry in the Asia- Pacific region.
