Founded in 1963 as Ikutoku College of Technology, we are growing to celebrate our 60th anniversary in 2023. At the beginning, only three major departments were established: Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering and Chemical Technology. Expansion though has allowed the school to tailor itself as a higher science educational institute containing mechanical, electrical, chemical, biological technology to information science and life-health related departments, accounting for over 4,000 students among 10 departments, 3 faculties and 6 graduate courses. We will keep striving to cultivate students that will play an active part in the upcoming era, accomplishing this through the cross-section education and research. Here at our university, we provide a variety of support for students, offering them the best academic and student life possible. Additionally, we not only provide a safe and nurturing environment for our student body, but also continue to support them by regularly maintaining campus infrastructure and equipment, ensuring greater educational outcomes.

Since our founding in 1963, Kanagawa Institute of Technology has fostered creative minds to support Japan’s growth in science and technology — a journey we proudly celebrated with our 60th anniversary in 2023. Our graduates contribute in diverse fields — from industry and engineering to education, healthcare, and social services — and are widely recognized for their impact.

With fields constantly evolving, our core mission remains unchanged: to empower students to contribute meaningfully to society. As future needs in skills and knowledge grow harder to predict, we focus on strong fundamentals and real-world application, helping students grow with confidence.

We also value an environment where students not only learn from one another but grow alongside dedicated faculty and staff. Through this shared inspiration, we aim to nurture a culture of continuous learning and intellectual exploration.
We invite you to learn with us at Kanagawa Institute of Technology, cultivating your ability to shape the future of society
