History
The Kyushu Institute of Technology (Kyutech) was originally founded as a private institution called the Meiji College of Technology (MCT) in 1907, in the northern area of the island of Kyushu in Japan, where Tobata Campus resides now.
Education
More than half the students at Kyutech continue on to graduate school. This is a clear evidence that these students desire to acquire more advanced specialization. To back up that desire for continued education, Kyutech has prepared a curriculum that provides a smooth transition to its graduate school. (For example, applied versions of the classes that students take in the 4th year of their undergraduate studies are offered at the Graduate School.)

Student clubs
With a strong background in engineering, many Kyutech students are interested in manufacturing and craftsmanship. A variety of engineering projects are offered outside of the classroom. Some students participate in technology contests, others work on projects about ecology, others may devote themselves to building regional communities. Through these activities students not only acquire engineering knowledge, but also good communication skills while learning how to practically apply their knowledge.
