Kyushu University (九州大学; Kyushu Daigaku, abbreviated to 九大 Kyudai) in Fukuoka, Japan is one of Japan's prestigious national universities and the largest public university on the island of Kyushu.
Despite the incorporation which has led to increased financial independence and autonomy, Kyushu University is still partly controlled by the Japanese Ministry of Education (Monbukagakusho, or Monkasho).

History
After initially being founded as Fukuoka Medical College in 1903, a campus associated with Kyoto Imperial University, Kyushu Imperial University was established as a separate entity in 1911.
Following World War II, Kyushu Imperial University gained infamy as officials acknowledged that eight American POWs (Crew of B-29 Superfortress) had been vivisected at Kyushu Imperial University Hosptial in May and June, 1945 under the direction of the Japanese military and Professor Fukujiro Ishiyama. In 1947, Kyushu Imperial University was renamed to Kyushu University.
On October, 2003, Kyushu University and Kyushu Institute of Design officially amalgamated into a single university, with Kyushu Institute of Design becoming Kyushu University's Ohashi Campus.
Kyushu University has since 2004 been incorporated as a national university corporation under a new law which applies to all national universities.
