Our educational philosophy is creating an academic place where students can seek the truth, develop themselves, enjoy the freedom of innovation, share equal opportunities, and emphasize the importance of reverence to others in order to achieve the ideal of "truth, goodness, and beauty" meanwhile, we uphold the principle of education for all people without discrimination, as well as teaching students following their aptitudes, deepen professional training and strengthen humanity education, and hope to cultivate outstanding youths with high humanism quality, who can contribute their most remarkable service to our country and our era.
Upon these principles, our school will move towards a teaching-oriented university perfectly combining higher education and Kinmen's local culture, in the hope of not only serving as an essential model of higher education in our country but also becoming a first-rate international university characterized by Kinmen's local features.
Our Motto is "Sincerity, Being Knowledgeable, and Fulfillment." Kinmen preserves its rich visible and invisible Min-Nan culture, overseas Chinese's homeland culture, and historical battleground culture.
"Sincerity, Being Knowledgeable, Fulfillment and Philanthropy" originates from the Road to Great Learning of Zhongyong. "To gain this attainment, one should perform requisite and extensive studies of what is good, accurate inquiry about it, careful reflection on it, the clear discrimination of it, and the earnest practice of it." The points are "being eager for the knowledge, particularly, of what the truth is, "taking action." Therefore, the points are concretely yet subtly equivalent to "Sincerity," "Being Knowledgeable," and "Fulfillment." As for the "Philanthropy", one would expect that students study hard to pursue the knowledge of the truth, not only to seek the betterment of themselves but also to take significant responsibility for serving our society and country.
Orientation to become a small but delicate, a small but beautiful, and a small but excellent university. Our university is located in uniquely geographic and historical conditions of Kinmen. Our development as a great university focuses on local caring, cross-strait relations, and connection with the world. We encourage teachers to do research as well as enhance our teaching environment and achievement.
Here are four main functions of our university's development: "teaching, research, service and counseling". in the teaching area, we focus on "holistic education" and "professional ethics" in the research area, we concentrate on "developing the distinctive features" and" implementing technology" in the service area, the principle is "local caring" and "sharing and honoring altogether" in the counseling area, the principle is "happy learning" and "full employment".
