The purpose of this program is to develop advanced design talent in four key areas: design, art, business, and leadership. The program aims to develop human resources that can exercise creative cognitive abilities to conceptualize long-term visions for society and culture, propose values based on a deep understanding of humans and the environment, empathize and cooperate with diverse individuals to socially implement those values, and carry out innovative projects. This program is jointly managed by the Graduate School of Design, the Kyushu University Graduate School Economics Industrial Management course (Kyushu University Business School [QBS])and Robert T.Huang Entrepreneurship Center of Kyushu University (QREC).

There are two entrance examinations: the Self-Recommended Entrance Examination and the General Entrance Examination. In both cases, students may choose to take the examination in English in addition to Japanese.
In the past, students were evaluated based on their ability to use a foreign language (English) through a written test, but after the reorganization, students will be evaluated based on the score in an external English test.
