  • Graduated from the Faculty Faculty of Science and Engineering Department of Mechanical Engineering (formerly the Faculty of Engineering, Department of Department of Mechanical Engineering)

The appeal of our university is that we can share knowledge and facilities with students and teachers from different faculties. I worked with students from other faculties, focusing on my own field of expertise, to create an AI speaker and a case that can scan IC cards while they are stacked. It was only because of the opportunities I was given at our university that I was able to achieve so much, which led to my job offer.

This was great, KSU!

I had my application form corrected and practiced for interviews at Career Support Center. I get nervous easily and wasn't good at promoting myself at first, but by practicing many times and receiving advice from an objective perspective, I was able to approach the real thing with confidence.

Employer: Royal Holdings Co., Ltd.

  • Graduated from Omuta High School, Fukuoka Prefecture
  • Graduated Faculty of Life Science Department of Life Science (formerly the Department of Material and Life Chemistry, Faculty of Engineering)

In the lab, I studied expiration dates under a professor who used to work for a food manufacturer. After graduation, I will be involved in food quality assurance, utilizing my knowledge of microorganisms, ingredients, additives, etc. Thanks to the environment where I could broaden my horizons and take on research challenges, I was able to broaden my possibilities, believe in myself, and discover what path I wanted to take.

This was great, KSU!

I was usually busy with research and didn't wear makeup every day, so I attended a class to learn how to do makeup before I started job hunting. By making my first impression bright and glamorous, I gained confidence and was able to approach the interview with confidence.

West Japan Railway Company

  • Faculty of Architecture and Civil Engineering Department of Architecture [Formerly: School of Engineering Department of Architecture] Graduation

He initially wanted to become a civil servant, hoping to put his knowledge of architecture and civil engineering he had learned at university to good use. However, during an internship at the Fukuoka Prefectural Government Office in his third year, he realized that what he had learned in architecture could also be applied to railway maintenance and station building repairs. His perspective on the future broadened, and his goals changed, leading to his long-awaited job offer from the railway company he had been hoping for.

This was great, KSU!

In job hunting, it is essential to gather a lot of information in order to research the industry and companies you are aiming for, but the university has a well-equipped internet environment where you can read newspapers, which was extremely helpful when filling out application forms and during interviews.

Vega Corporation

  • Graduated from Kaho High School, Fukuoka Prefecture
  • Graduated Faculty of Art and Design Department of Social Design

Over the course of four years, I was able to learn about a wide range of fields, including web, video, and graphics. During my time at the university, I was able to spend time in an environment where I could develop my own individuality, and so my portfolio, which was the culmination of my work, was not just a collection of work, but a design that expressed my individuality. Being able to show my work both on paper and online was also a deciding factor in my acceptance.

This was great, KSU!

Since the company I was going to work for was a furniture mail order company, I thought they were looking for a product designer, but when I found out they were looking for a web designer at a joint company information session on campus, I decided to apply. The fact that there was an opportunity to broaden my horizons on campus led to this opportunity.
