Message from the President

Since its founding in 1949, Saga University has worked to fulfill its mission of education and research rooted in the community and open to the world. Today, with six faculties—Education, Science and Engineering, Agriculture, Economics, Medicine, and Art and Regional Design—it advances human resource development and academic research across a broad spectrum of disciplines.

Saga University’s mission of Shaping the Future through Wisdom in Action goes beyond acquiring knowledge. It is to cultivate the ability to contribute to society and to address real-world challenges. In an era of unprecedented transformation, there is a growing need for individuals with flexible thinking and collaborative skills. Through consistent education from undergraduate to graduate levels, Saga University provides learning that is directly connected to society.

Our research also yields diverse achievements. Distinctive initiatives include agricultural studies focused on environmental restoration in the Ariake Sea, efforts to brand agricultural products, cutting-edge research using synchrotron radiation, the development of renewable energy such as marine energy, and regional revitalization based on economics, education, and arts and culture. These projects not only address local challenges but also carry significant global importance. Moving forward, we will further advance interdisciplinary research and cross-field collaboration to create new value for society.
