National Kaohsiung University of Science and

Technology (NKUST) was established in 2018 by
merging three universities which were National

Kaohsiung University of Applied Sciences, National
Kaohsiung First University of Science and Technology,
and National Kaohsiung Marine University. NKUST has
incorporated the strengths of the three former

universities and positions itself as an outstanding
international university that is widely recognized by

the global society and nurtures top professionals with academic excellence and success in
industries. We are characterized with “Strong connection with industries”, “Innovation and
entrepreneurship” and “Ocean technology”, and oriented in humanities and social care.
Our globalization strategy is to connect with the global society and Southbound countries.

For one thing, we aim to train students to cultivate creativity, execution and competitively
in global mobility Besides, we hope to strengthen the relationship with the target countries

and have cultural, educational and industrial exchange, and benefit from the economy in
Southbound regions and availability of talents in order to have stronger connection among
Taiwan and Southbound countries.

There are five campuses in NKUST- Jiangong campus, Yanchao campus, First campus,

Nanzih campus and Cijin campus. NKUST covers an area of 216.1 hectares. Currently, we
have more than 28,000 students and are the largest science and technology university in
Taiwan. Our academic field embraces engineering, electrics, marine, management,
finance, humanities and social science, and languages. We have 9 colleges which are

College of Engineering, College of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS),
College of Hydrosphere Science, College of Marine Commerce, College of Maritime,

College of Business Intelligence, College of Management, College of Humanities and Social
Science and College of Foreign Language. In addition, we own 2 college-level academic
sections-College of General Education and Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship
Education. Up to now we have over 800 teachers, including over 300 professors.

By developing internationalization, we have diverse international students who study in

masters and doctoral degree. Graduate students occupy about 45% of our international
students. As they come to study in Taiwan and are far from their home country, we help
them to adapt to school life here by arranging student buddies and organizing student

associations and cultural activities.
