National Kaohsiung First University Of Science And Technology

Leading an elite team, in July 1993, Dr. Chia-hung Ku started the preparatory work to establish a university in a vast area straddling the dividing line between Kaohsiung City and Kaohsiung County. Guided by the school motto, “diligence, companionship, excellence, and innovation”, the institute was publicly recognized for its achievements in education. In July 1998 the institute received the approval from the Ministry of Education to become National Kaohsiung First University of Science and Technology, the first National University of Technology in the Kaohsiung area. In July 2007, the National Kaohsiung First University of Science and Technology celebrated its 13th anniversary. Led by Professor I-chang Jou from August 2004 who, starting from August 2007, enters his second term as the president of the University, the NKFUST team with its hardworking students and excellent teaching and administrative staff has been working together to make the University an even greater success.
