Yamaguchi is connected to Kyushu by a beautiful bridge crossing over the Kamon Straights and is only about half an hour from Fukuoka by bullet train.
YPU is a small university originally established by the Prefectural government. It has three faculties, five departments and two postgraduate courses. Approximately 1,300 students attend YPU. They are taught by 120 full-time teaching staff. The student-taecher ratio is low, and students are able to receive the utmost support from our teaching staff. We attempt to meet every student"s needs, including those of overseas students, though a system of tutoring by both professors and peers.
