Fukuoka Institute of Technology is known for its strong features of the best employment rate among private universities in Kyushu and the attentive education that it provides, as stated in our motto, “For all the students!”. At FIT, all of our faculty and staff work together as a team to support each and every student, as if they were their own child, to broaden their possibilities for the future. We also make a commitment to contribute to manufacturing industries in the Kyushu area by collaborating with local communities and companies. We consider the question, “What can be done only by human beings in this modern society with the advanced technologies of artificial intelligence?”.

Our answer is that people should have the ability to find and solve problems by completing the tasks that are necessary to succeed. The key to opening up the future is the intelligent productive power of humans. We believe that our students should pursue the depth of something that they really like to do rather than seeking useful skills right away. Finding passion is essential for manufacturing, which will be the origin of eternal energy.

Make the best use of FIT’s educational environment in order to find your passion and follow your dream. We encourage you to have wide interest to explore different fields so that you can have a variety of perspectives that will lead to flexible ideas. Join group activities, like clubs, by all means, to build your own network, which will become a great asset. A real engineer who owns the future is a person with good manners, flexibility, and knowledge. Aiming to be the best educational hub in Kyushu, we will be your reliable supporter who will support you to make your dreams come true in your future, even after 10 years from the day you graduate from FIT.

The aim of studying at a graduate school is to acquire the ability to do research and development without help from other people. Accordingly, it is inevitably important to make a continuous effort for obtaining the ability to find creative research themes and to study useful methods for advancing your research in solving difficult problems.

The university has the Faculty of Engineering with four departments, the Faculty of Information Engineering with four departments, and the Faculty of Socio-Environmental Studies with one department. We also have the Graduate School of Engineering and the Graduate School of Socio-Environmental Studies in these undergraduate schools. The Graduate School of Engineering offers seven master’s degree programs and two doctoral degree programs. We have day and evening courses, mainly for the convenience of adult students.

The Graduate School of Engineering is aiming to make education for producing international engineers who will support and develop the future industrial world in the 21st century. For this purpose, we are promoting collaborative research with industries including more than 140 membership industrial companies making effective use of strategic cooperation with other universities, aiming to construct one of the most active centers on practical research. We are also promoting international exchanges with Stanford University and other foreign universities.

The Graduate School of Socio-Environmental Studies with one master’s program on economic management and law administration has been opened in 2007 academic year for university graduates and adult students including those from other countries, who are eager to acquire the ability and skill of business for the environmental problem solving, and also to deepen the mutual understanding for an environmental corporation with neighborhood Asian countries. To attain the above aims, our university is making continuous and full efforts to accomplish the goal in the program of each graduate school.
