Course Model
How you design your career, or what career path you choose at any given time, is up to each and every one of you to make your own free decisions.
No matter what occupation or position you have, whether you work for a company or start your own business, people with entrepreneurship are in demand.
The important thing is that it is necessary to “think and act with entrepreneurship.”
For students with a clear future career path
If your future career path is clear, there are QREC courses that match your future prospects, and the courses you should take will vary depending on your individual wishes. You can deepen your learning by systematically taking multiple courses from basics to applied/practical courses between undergraduate and graduate students.

For students whose future career path is unclear
QREC subjects have a curriculum that can be developed step by step from basics to application/practice. If you don’t have a clear career path, but would like to learn about something you have some questions about, we recommend that you first take the basics course.
Among the QREC subjects, there may be subjects that lead to new discoveries and new futures that you never expected. We hope that each student will be able to freely chart their own career path by actively taking a wide range of QREC courses, not just the course model.
Study model for new student A, who has just entered Kyushu University
I decided to take the QREC course because I was able to study with students from various faculties and departments as well as working adults, so I could think about my future career from a variety of perspectives. First, I took “Introduction to Entrepreneurship.” There, I realized that ”entrepreneurship” is a very necessary skill in this day and age.
By taking this lecture, I wanted to actually give form to ideas that I wanted to solve in my daily life, so I took on the challenge of ”Idea Battle 2”.
When I was having trouble, I received advice from my mentor, conducted research, and refined my ideas, which made the project more realistic.
Based on our past activities, in order to turn failures into positives, we learned ”What does it mean to demonstrate entrepreneurship?” at the ”Global Seminar.” Next year, we have set a goal to take on the challenge of ”Challenge & Creation,” which is a step up from ”Idea Battle.”
In order to further expand the range of my career, I will continue to study ”Entrepreneurship Career Design”, where I can attend lectures by people who are active in various fields, so that I can design my own life. After taking the QREC course, I realized that I wanted to become a person who can create new value.
List of subjects taken by new student A
| Subject name | Semester | Step |
|---|---|---|
| Introduction to Entrepreneurship | Spring | Basics |
| Idea Battle (S.I.P student creative activity support) | Late period | Practice |
| Global Seminar（English） | First semester intensive | Practice |
| Entrepreneurship Career Design | Autumn | Basics |
Other subjects taken:
Basic Entrepreneurship Organizational Science, Technology Marketing Game, Idea Lab I, Digital Fabrication Tutorial, Idea Lab II, Design Thinking Project
What kind of courses should students take in line with their career and career path? There are some subjects that all students should take in common, but the subjects you should take will differ depending on your career.
