Symbol

Kyushu University does not have an official school song, instead, it has one cheering song and three student songs including ''Matssubara-ni'', with lyrics by Yoshifumi Akiyama. The university's logo features a background of pine needles inset with an older iterance of the kanji for "university". The logo was officially established in 2004, but was originally proposed by a student, Sou Yoshihide, in the mid-20th century, and was used then on from 1950. There have also been alternatives designs, such as those featuring the Japanese ''KU'' or ''Q'', for Kyushu instead of "university".


Global 30 Project

On July 3, 2009, Kyushu University was chosen for the “Global 30 (G30) Project”.
