NCKU is a First-class University

Industry Favorites According to annual surveys conducted by prestigious Taiwanese magazines: Common Wealth, Global Views, and Cheers - NCKU graduates have been ranked as “industry favorites” each year since 1993.

International Dual-degree Program In 2004 , NCKU became the f i r s t university in Taiwan to establish an International dual-degree program, with several renowned foreign universities. NCKU agreed to a dual-degree program with the Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) in Ohio, USA in 2004. Under this program, NCKU has been sending students to CWRU since 1997. Thanks to the program, it has become easier for qualified students in NCKU to acquire dual degrees. Furthermore, NCKU has established academic ties with nearly 100 world-renowned universities to engage in advancement and co-operation in intellectual, cultural, economic, research and technical capabilities.

Nobel Prize Laureate Teaching inNCKU In 2007, NCKU invited Dr. Aaron Ciechanover – the 2004 Nobel Prize Laureate in Chemistry – to teach as a Visiting Distinguished Professor of NCKU. This made NCKU the only school in Taiwan to have a Nobel Laureate as a faculty member.

Cradle of University PresidentsIn addition to the reputation of industry’s favorites, graduates from NCKU have also performed superiorly in academia. There are over 60 NCKU alumni who currently are incumbent or retired presidents of universities in Taiwan. NCKU, as such, seems to be a cradle for future university presidents.

An international top-tier university selected by MOE

Since the inception of Taiwan’s Ministry of Education’s (MOE) project “Promoting Academic Excellence and Developing W o r l d C l a s s R e s e a r c h Centers” in 2005, National C h e n g Ku n g U n i ve r s i t y (NCKU) and National Taiwan University (NTU) have been chosen as the top two main schools for “promoting top-tier universities”. In 2008, the Ministry of Education has once again recognized NCKU and NTU as one of the best universities in southern and northern Taiwan respectively.
