Cambodia’s first boarding technology institute with international standards
About KIT
KIT was established in 2014 in Kirirom by Mr. Takeshi Izuka, with a view to become a leading science and technology university in Southeast Asia with excellent education, cutting-edge research, and a commitment to green development and a multicultural community. Presently, KIT consists of two departments, Software Engineering and Tourism Management with around 330 students from Cambodia and Japan. The newly-established architecture department will begin accepting students for the academic year 2020-21.
The institute provides a full sponsorship to all Cambodian students, covering tuition fees, food, health insurance, and dormitory. Through the sponsorship, students will have an opportunity to live and work abroad after successfully completing the 4-year program. To mention a few of KIT’s achievements, both Batch 1 and Batch 2 students are 100% placed and working in both Japanese and Cambodian Companies. On average, our students have a proven record of winning 4 to 5 competitions/ Hackathon/ Business Pitch every year. In the near future, graduate and research programs will be established and strengthened in order to promote R&D and innovation at KIT.

Words from Alumni
“Throughout these 4 years at KIT, I never imagined my today-self, I have gained much experience not only in studying but life experience. First-year at KIT, I learned a lot of fundamentals of programming and I adapted to the environment at KIT really quickly. I got selected to join the Sakura Winter Exchange program in Kyoto, Japan when I was in second grade. KIT has a unique program for all students called “Internship” which makes students grow faster by themselves. Throughout hard-working, I received a great opportunity to do an internship in a real working environment in Tokyo, Japan during my third year of university. I was really grateful and thankful to KIT. I believed everyone has the same opportunity only it depends on how they reach and approach to the opportunity.”
