The International Master’s Program (IMAP) in Japanese Humanities (founded 2011) and the International Doctorate (IDOC) in Japanese Humanities (founded 2017) are the only two graduate programs conducted in English within Kyushu University’s Graduate School of Humanities. Both programs are MEXT-certified and each enrolls a select group of international and Japanese students. All students have full access to the educational strengths and facilities of a world-class Japanese university and benefit from the rich array of academic resources it offers.Both MA and PhD candidates study with specialists in Japanese history, architectural history, art history and visual culture, literature, religion, geography, and other facets of the humanities. Students enroll in rigorous seminars on general and specialist topics—many of which incorporate study at cultural and historical sites within Japan. The IMAP and IDOC in Japanese Humanities are characterized by closely supervised instruction and small seminars customized to meet the long-term academic goals of each student. Seminars taught by primary faculty generally emphasize premodern Japan and its relationship to East Asia; these are supplemented by courses offered by affiliated and guest faculty in topics ranging from Japanese film to archaeology. There are also courses in field-specific methodologies, research methods, and premodern languages (including kobun and kanbun).Among other requirements, all IMAP and IDOC students are required to write a thesis in English under the guidance of primary and secondary academic advisors. Depending on their Japanese-language proficiency, MA candidates may select additional courses from the Graduate School of Humanities or other graduate schools within the university; PhD candidates are required to enroll in graduate courses taught in Japanese.So far, students have come to the program from all over the world, including the UK, Belgium, Spain, Italy, Germany, Lithuania, Iceland, China, Jamaica, Bahrain, Indonesia, Brazil, Argentina, Slovakia, Latvia, Mexico, Australia, the USA, and from within Japan. Every year the program also hosts a number of “courtesy students” who may join selected seminars and activities. These include exchange students from partner universities (advanced undergraduate and graduate students) as well as research students (students supported by MEXT and other organizations, or self-funded). This rich mix of backgrounds and cultures distinguishes the IMAP and IDOC programs. As Japanese students study alongside international students, non-native English speakers hone their skills in academic English writing and reading, while others enhance their Japanese language skills—with all students focused on graduate-level Japanese humanities research.THE INTERNATIONAL MASTERʼS PROGRAM （IMAP） and INTERNATIONAL DOCTORATE （IDOC） IN JAPANESE HUMANITIES 広人文学コース大学院人文科学府/人文基礎専攻/広人文学コースFieldwork (Futagoji)70The International Master’s Program (IMAP) and International Doctorate (IDOC) in Japanese Humanities 日本の内外から日本を眺める広人文学コース
