 Over the past 100 years to the Kyoto College of Industry and Kyoto College
of Textile Fibers, KIT has progressed with the times. Set in the ancient
capital, the source of the traditional culture, Kyoto Institute of Technology
(KIT) has established a unique academic culture seeking wisdom, beauty
and technology. KIT has produced a vast pool of human talent who make academic,
artistic, cultural and industrial contributions. KIT will respond to the
duties entrusted to us by society as a National University Corporation
with independent and autonomous management of the university, and therefore
hereby declare the following philosophy. |
