Southern Taiwan University of Science and Technology

[EduCativ]

“Willing to educate qualified students” and “benefiting society and adding to the development of our nation” and were the purposes of establishing this university. The mission of STUST is to pursue academic excellence in both technical fields and the humanities. Over the past 44 years, with everyone working together, STUST has grown and developed. We are now undoubtedly the leader in terms of private universities of technology in Taiwan. We seek to achieve the following to become the top international private university of technology: to conduct research, be innovative, and pursue excellence. To integrate local resources and increase the opportunities for cooperation between industry and academia to develop regional advantages. To construct and further enhance teaching, learning, and research facilities. To build a free and open education system that focuses on the whole person by promoting creativity, discipline, and cultural literacy and instilling in our students a quest for knowledge that extends into life-long learning.
Facing keen global competition in the 21st century, we are devoted to integrating the associate resources and promoting international, cultural, and academic exchanges. Through these international exchanges, we aim to arm our students with a strong command of foreign languages and cultivate them into global citizens. We actively seek opportunities to interact with prestigious universities overseas and to create opportunities for our faculty members to broaden their academic experiences and for our students to pursue further studies abroad. We have made it our aim to be an internationalized university in academic research and higher education.
The number of undergraduate and graduate students with study abroad experience continues to increase every year. In addition to the current exchange program for undergraduates, we have launched a one-year study abroad program for juniors to promote international education one step further. Every summer, we send study groups overseas, which encourage our students to experience different cultures and ways of life. We anticipate that more than 200 students will participate in our study abroad programs every year.
STUST has established formal academic relationships with 162 universities around the world, including renowned universities in Australia, Austria, Canada, Croatia, China, the Czech Republic, Estonia, India, Indonesia, France, Germany, Japan, Korea, Mongolia, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Peru, the Philippines, Russia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Thailand, the UK, the USA, and Vietnam.
Currently, we have six English-taught master programs: the Global MBA program, the MS and Ph.D. programs in Mechanical Engineering, the MS and Ph.D. programs in Electrical Engineering, and the Ph.D. Program in Business Management. We eagerly recruit international students. We provide them with Chinese lessons, assistantships, and comprehensive services. We aim to recruit an increasing number of outstanding international students each year.
Collaborating with the four colleges at STUST, we actively invite distinguished scholars from our partner universities to participate in our annual international conferences. We regularly host scholars from abroad and invite them to give academic lectures and classroom presentations on our campus. Many interactions with our overseas partners occur through faculty exchange, and the number of exchange scholars is expected to grow every year.
Higher education aims to equip students with essential skills for their future careers and foster talented students to proceed with further studies and research. Our ultimate goal is to help students develop their independent thinking, expertise, and ability to integrate or accommodate new ideas. We hope students can become well-rounded citizens by promoting a democratic spirit combined with diligence and cooperation.
In terms of promoting internationalization, STUST is a leading university of technology and has achieved outstanding international student recruitment and study abroad programs. STUST will continue to expand international communication with Asia, North America, Europe, Australia, and Latin America and strengthen real communication by continuing both the mutual-visit program and teacher-student communication. Furthermore, we will establish a joint research team to internationalize our university’s endeavors further.
