Sothern Taiwan University of Science and Technology
Southern Taiwan University of Science and Technology (STUST), founded in 1969, is one of the top six technological universities in Taiwan and has been awarded special grant funding under the “Plan for the Development of Technological University Paradigms” from Taiwan’s Ministry of Education (MOE). STUST aims to become an internationally competitive, top-ranking university, and an excellent partner for industries. Our education emphasizes equally humanity and technology in order to nurture reliable young adults with a strong global mindset and pioneering thinking ability.
Campus is located on the Jia-nan Plain, in the southwest part of Taiwan. As the most important agricultural area of Taiwan, the Jia-nan Plain can be called “Taiwan’s home of rice and seafood." Set against mountains and facing the sea, the plain has beautiful natural beauty and scenery. Within this area, many medium- and small-scale businesses have been developing and booming. Today, with the establishment of The Tainan Science-Based Industrial Park and Industry Research Institute, the entire Greater Tainan region has changed from a traditional agricultural area to an important base of industry and advanced technology. This development certainly offers a promising future for our students' studies and careers.
STUST is located in a suburb of northeastern Tainan City, which covers an area of 16.29 hectares. To the west of the campus is Tainan City, and to the east, Yung Kang City. It is less than 4 kilometers from our school to the Tainan Railroad Station. The Main North-south Highway and Central Highway intersect near the school, and we are also very close to the major National Freeway. Our school is indeed located in an area with the beauty of the countryside and the convenience of metropolitan life.
