Universities in Fukuoka-shi
The Meiji College of Technology, a precursor to Kyushu Institute of Technology (Kyutech), was founded and funded by Mr. Keiichiro Yasukawa, a noted businessman of the time. In the more than 100 years since its inauguration, Kyutech has produced over 60,000 talented engineers by practicing its founding principle of “instilling a deep knowledge of science and engineering in high caliber students.”
Founded in 1991 as one of Japan's seven Imperial Universities, Kyushu University has established itself as a leader in education and research in Asia.
