Founded in 1963 as Ikutoku College of Technology, the University is growing to celebrate its 60th anniversary in 2023. In its early years, the university established only three major departments: Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Chemical Technology. Through continuous expansion, the University has evolved into a comprehensive institute of higher science education, encompassing fields from mechanical, electrical, chemical, and biological technologies to information science and life and health sciences. It now consists of 10 departments within 3 faculties and 6 graduate courses, with more than 4,000 students. We remain committed to cultivating students who will take leading roles in the coming era through interdisciplinary 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, the University provides a safe and nurturing environment for our students while continuously improving campus facilities and equipment to ensure the highest quality of education.

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

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

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
