Introduction 1.Brief History Located in Chiayi, Taiwan, Nanhua University was founded in 1996 by Venerable Master Hsing Yun. Through the support of millions of Fo Guang Shan worshippers, the first comprehensive university of Fo Guang Shan was funded. The school is also a member of “Fo Guang Shan’s Associated Universities,” the country’s first cross-nation university system. Currently, the school has about 5,200 students and a strong faculty of 220 full-time teachers. The pro… [+] portion of assistant professors to full-time teachers above is more than 96%, and the proportion of doctorates among them is 91%, which means the school ranks among the top private universities. The school is built on a mountain slope and set in a quaint garden. The school area is about 63 hectares, with vast grasslands and towering trees. The unique natural environment of the elegant and quiet campus has earned the school the name “Forest University.” The rare and protected species and the natural and cultural ecology make the school the perfect model for promoting green campuses and environmental education. The school primarily focuses on general education and the humanistic spirit. It is an important institution in the southern region for national general education, and the school currently has a General Education Center and Five Colleges: Management, Humanities, Social Sciences, Arts, and Science & Technology. There are 21 undergraduate departments, 24 master’s programs, and a doctoral program. The Department of Life-and-Death Studies is renowned nationwide. Other well-known departments include the Department of Biotechnology, the Department of Tourism Management, the Department of Architecture and Landscape Design, the Department of Ethnomusicology, the Graduate Institute of Religious Studies, the Graduate Institute of Nonprofit Management, and the Graduate Institute of Natural Healing Sciences. Moreover, general education with award-winning performance year after year has further increased the school’s positive reputation. At the same time, transnational learning programs, including international student exchanges, overseas study, and e-learning platform (wireless internet/digital media/language learning), strongly promote the unique features and competitiveness of the school. 2.Founding Spirit The university is centered on the balanced development of five principles, humanization, specialization, digitalization, industrialization and internationalization. The university’s unique educational mission is to achieve religious and cultural coordination in a spirit of charity and justice, with high-quality teaching. This unique mission encompassing life awareness, religious and humanistic spirit, and the ideals of a public service university, is injected into the education process, promoting the growth and transformation of both teachers and students, while enhancing each student’s character, vision, and professional competence. At the same time, students are strengthened by nurturing them to become good citizens and to serve others. Personnel Nurturing Objectives: (A) To develop modern citizens with character and virtue through the spirit of service. (B) To develop modern citizens with a broad international perspective, civic literacy, and strong communication skills. (C) To develop modern experts with a sense of responsibility, professional competence, and creative ability. 3.The Developmental Features Establishing the Humanistic Spirit through a College Education As a religious school with a deep humanistic spirit, the university focuses on the enhancement of general education and character development of students. The continued practice of age-old academic traditions, such as the “ancient rite of passage” for freshmen each year, renew the school’s humanistic spirit and have been the school’s distinguishing feature since its inception. The university has established a cultural city, where character education, general education, and professional education nurture talents, and a moral education curriculum adapted to the needs of modern society helps transform students into responsible and compassionate adults through enlightenment. Integrating Local Industries’ Emphasis on “Practical Learning” The quality of teaching and knowledge applications is nurtured in the school environment that centers on “consciousness-based life education” and “conscious learning of students.” The school implements industry-integrated courses and a “practical learning” system that seamlessly connect academic theories with industry standards, thereby enhancing students’ employability and competitiveness. In addition, each department’s highlights are synchronized with the pulses of the local industry and community. The school’s future development will focus on end-of-life care, health care, philosophy, biotechnology in organic agriculture, tourism and leisure, non-profit organizations, and cultural and creative industries. Taiwan’s First Associated Universities System Goes International The school jointly established the “Fo Guang Shan Associated Universities,” the country’s first transnational associated university system including Fo Guang University, the University of the West in the U.S.A, and Nan Tien Institute in Australia. The system combines the advantages of the four universities to provide a wide range of resources as well as develop students’ international perspective. The approach of “register for four schools at one school” will be adopted to help students earn dual degrees. In order to foster students’ international flexibility capabilities, the school will form an important network with Buddha’s Light International Association (BLIA) and Fo Guang Shan temples on five continents for international exchanges and student learning. 4.Fo Guang Shan Four-in-One University Consortium Founded by Venerable Master Hsing Yun, Fo Guang University and Nanhua University in Taiwan, along with University of the West (UWest) in the United States, and Nan Tien Institute in Australia combined on July 17, 2012, and all four Presidents co-announced the international Fo Guang Shan Four-in-One University Consortium, which is the first of its kind in Taiwan. On March 22, 2013, under the witness of Venerable Master Hsing Yun, Nanhua, Fo Gung, UWest, and Nan Tien Presidents signed the agreement of the consortium at the 17th Anniversary Celebration of Nanhua University, where Fo Guang University President Yung Chaur-shin was appointed an executive director. In the years since the consortium’s implementation, teacher and student exchanges, inter-uni credits, remote learning programs, distance learning programs, and dual degrees have been introduced; while the universities have joint resources with Fo Guang Shan temples worldwide. This allows students the opportunities to learn and work overseas. 5.Three Acts of Goodness Venerable Master Hsing Yun promotes Three Acts of Goodness as follows. Body – do good deeds: the wondrous merits of simple acts in serving and contributing are like the full moon shining in the sky. Mouth – speak good words: words of loving-kindness are like the winter sun; encouragement and praise are like fragrant flowers spreading their perfume everywhere. Mind – think good thoughts: sincerity and good conditions bring good fortune; with the sages and the sacred in our minds, we will reap a good harvest. Master Hsing Yun hopes that everyone will practice the acts, and he believes Nanhua University will be able to become a Three Acts of Goodness School. Under Dr. Lin’s leadership, Nanhua University will foster the three acts of goodness in the minds of all students. 6.Message from the president “ Revitalize Nanhua, reward excellence and help the disadvantaged. Pursue the prominence, and move toward the global stage. " Nanhua University is a university founded on the collective power of millions of Fo Guang Shan worshippers. It possesses humanity, religious and artistic qualities. Located in Chiayi, it is a tertiary school with a strong cultural atmosphere and strong faculty. We collaborate to develop the school in innovation, and adopt the educational philosophy of the founder, Venerable Master Hsing Yun, to be sure that Nanhua will emerge as an elite international school with sound character and strong academic standing in the context of higher education. New Pattern –Fresh Outlook of NHU In response to the flourishing school and the recruitment of international students, school facilities and the campus landscape has been expanded in recent years. Featuring an artistic and educational landscape design, the new construction includes teaching buildings, student dormitories, an international conference center, a stadium, a baseball field, and vegetarian restaurants. Through the humanistic spirit and characteristics of the school campus, a humanistic academic environment is being built. Promotion of Excellence Awards and Helping the Disadvantaged – Recruitment of International Students The “Reward Excellence and Help the Disadvantaged” scholarship system not only rewards outstanding students but also looks after the low-income household and disadvantaged students. A variety of scholarships and grants subsidize overseas study based on entrance examination results. Preferential programs provide tuition and fees to support students of low-income households and lower to middle-income households. Fo Guang Shan has over three hundred branches, including sixteen Buddhist colleges, four universities, kindergartens, many elementary and high schools, and temples around the world, which are all recruitment channels under development. Through such platforms and channels, young students from around the world are encouraged to learn and grow together at Nanhua. Teaching Excellence – Global Transitioning The school focuses on “life awareness,” “professional competence,” “international mobility,” “employability,” and “teacher and student harmony.” Furthermore, through conscious education, the school also aims to foster correct attitudes in students, provide domestic and international internship opportunities to improve students’ literacy and foreign language skills, and subsidize students to participate in contests to win honors, allowing every student to gain a deep reflection on life, personal expertise, an international perspective, and the far-reaching recognition of Nanhua. Enhanced Employability –Strengthened Competitiveness The employment rates of graduates from undergraduate departments and graduate institutes are 90% and 93%, respectively. According to an employee satisfaction survey, more than 80% were satisfied or very satisfied, which indicates that school-nurtured talents are meeting business requirements. Through continuing academic traditions while rebuilding the humanistic spirit, traditional Chinese culture and humanities are combined with modern knowledge systems to develop a competitive international and domestic model of university teaching.

We at English Training Lounge are proud to offer… [+] the world an English as a second language school that is literally at your fingertips! English Training Lounge - an English language school for the global classroom. Welcome to wherever you want to be! ABOUT ENGLISH TRAINING LOUNGE Study English at a time and place that suits you Study with an experienced English teacher Connect to a global English learning experience A MESSAGE FROM OUR FOUNDER - DAN NEWTON English Training Lounge came into being in December 2009 as an idea I had to further support vocational ESL students at a college I was teaching at in Riyadh in Saudi Arabia. In 2011 English Training Lounge was registered as a limited company and we went from a support group to an English teaching and training school with a global reach. It was clear that the needs of many English language students were not set in stone and that each student had their own particular English learning desires. We put together a number of surveys to find out exactly what type of English teaching and training potential students wanted. The data received showed a large amount of dissatisfaction with traditional ESL learning courses and that a lot of what was taught in the classroom had little to no relevance to the students academic or career pathways. With this information I wanted to design an English language school that was about the learner, offering what they need and wants in order for them to get the most out of their learning experience with us. I knew that ETL had to be as flexible and as varied in its English language teaching and training as the needs of each of our students. In short, we had to be specific in our curricula and offer as many English learning routes as required by all ESL learners. We aim to be the world’s leading online and face to face language School/company and believe the key to success is straightforward training courses that cater to our clients' and learners' needs. Depending on the client's requirements, we can deliver a fully personalized training programme or if needed a more structured, traditional learning pathway - all at a time and place that is convenient for the learner. I hope that all who come to study and train with English Training Lounge have the best experience possible and progress in their English studies to reach their future goals. Daniel Newton - Founder and Director of English Training Lounge, ETL COURSE FEES AND TRAINING BLOCKS Our learning courses a delivered in training blocks of 4, 6, 8, 10 or 12 hours with the option to add-on more hours if required. For the Corporate client, we offer a bespoke block of study that is in line with their specific English training needs - (Training block hours depend on the course of study and English requirements). ASK YOURSELF, 'Where do I want to be in life?' English Training Lounge was founded on the principle that the English language will take you further. Further in your personal life, further in your professional life and further in your academic life. The greatest gift England has given to the world is the English language. We believe that everyone has the ability to learn and develop English language skills, or any other language. At ETL we will take you that one step closer to realizing your full potential… welcome to wherever you want to be! HOW IT WORKS The English Training Lounge method of learning gives the learner the ability to speak English in a confident and authentic way. This offers a marked improvement in the learner's listening and comprehension skills. This, in turn, leads to a more fluent and rhythmic English reading ability and pronunciation. LESSONS ETL offers programmes of study that fit easily into anyone's lifestyle. ETL learners connect with our trainers in person or online via a number of conferencing platforms, Skype @etl-english being the most popular. After every 50-minute lesson, the learner follows a checklist of things that they can now do and say in English or choose the language of study. With the trainer's help, the learner starts to highlight and recognize their mistakes and areas of their English/language abilities that need improvement. With the guidance of the ETL, the learner actually starts to discover English or language of study for themselves! [-]

The first public University founded after Taiwan’s economic boom in the 1980′s, National Chung Cheng University broke ground after the Executive Yuan passed the plan to build the university in 1986 in honor of the late president CHIANG Kai-Shek and to develop higher education in the Yun-lin, Chia-yi, and Tainan areas. It was officially founded on July 1, 1989 with Dr. LIN Ching-Jiang being the first president of the University. During the early stage of the University, fiv… [+] e colleges were set up: the College of Humanities, the College of Sciences, the College of Social Sciences, the College of Engineering, and the College of Management. Dr. CHENG Kuo-Shung, who served a term of three years from October 21, 1996 to October 21, 1999, was the 2nd University President in CCU history. During his tenure, the College of Law and the College of Education were founded in 1998 and 1999, respectively. Altogether, the University currently consists of seven Colleges offering 29 Undergraduate Programs, 44 Master Programs, 29 Ph.D. Programs, 17 in-service Graduate Programs. The University has more than 960 faculty/staff members, and approximately 12,000 students. As a research-oriented University, CCU aims to provide students with the advanced skills and profound knowledge in the fields of humanities, sciences, technology, law, and management. With the education of liberal arts and sciences, CCU expects students learn to effectively deal with the complexity of challenges of the 21st century. Building on the foundation of the past 20 years, the current President, Dr. Fong, Zhang Hua, is leading the University to continue to strive for academic excellence, internationalization, and active interaction with the global community. Campus Environment The campus is located in the central part of Chia-yi County, 15 kilometers from the City of Chia-yi, which is approximately 250 kilometers south of Taipei. The campus occupies an open landscape of 132 hectares on a hill, with more than 200,000 trees of various species. On a campus tour, one may be amazed by the elegant buildings of different architectural styles, surrounded by tall trees, open green spaces, and winding roads flanked with flowering trees and bushes blooming in different seasons. The campus itself is a beautiful park with serenity and openness, and is literally a breath of fresh air in comparison to Taiwan’s more urban campuses. Viewed from the plains below, the University resembles a splendid palace on a hill. Despite the image of university as seemingly the excluded ivory tower, the university is in fact friendly open to all and serves the community in many ways. The Administration Building in the center of campus is sinuous, Chinese style step-pyramid, acting as a grounding focal point for the activity happening around it. In front of it is a wide brick road leading to the main gate of the campus. The road is blocked to motorized traffic for walking and bicycling, a main route for students entering and leaving the campus. On the opposite side one finds another brick walkway bordered by trees and green spaces. This walkway leads to the impressive brick piazza situated in front of the campus’s main Auditorium, and opens to a circular water feature which is a common landmark and meeting place. Facing the Auditorium is the Library and Information Building, an impressive, towering landmark of the University. It has more than 891,610 books, 7,315 periodicals and more than 1,212,927 microfilms, microfiches and CD-ROMs (2010.01.17 updated). Its Computer Center supports academic research, computer-assisted instruction, online registration services, video-conferences, long-distance learning, and other multimedia services. The library’s Audio-Visual Center boasts the most updated, high-tech AV equipment. In the Main Library, the sun-roofed inner court adds natural light to the reading areas. It is a great pleasure to study and research in this spacious and tranquil environment. The Gymnasium is one of the most splendid and expensive constructions in southern Taiwan. It has two Olympic-sized swimming pools (one indoors and one outdoors), a roller-skating rink, bowling alleys, and indoor courts for basketball, volleyball, and badminton. In addition, it has rooms for Judo, weight-lifting and circuit training, indoor rock climbing walls, an outdoor Olympic track and field stadium, and of course, ping-pong facilities. Last but not least, the sprawling campus even has a golf course with 20 fairways. The Student Activity Center is situated by Tranquility Lake. The structure itself is very unique with different elevations in the interior. From these floors one can have a gorgeous view of the beautifully arched bridge crossing the Lake. The ground floor is spacious and bordered on one side by the Lake, on another by one of the various cafeterias in the center, and on another by a wide staircase. This area is often the stage for various student group performances and activities. The Lake is a favorite spot for visitors and members of the University community. On a sunny day one will find families and children strolling along its stone walkways. Soon-to-be-married couples, in full wedding attire, are often seen posing for their wedding portraits. Swans, ducks, quail, turtles, and fish of various species form their own community on the lake. They make this beautiful part of the campus an attractive family retreat for neighboring towns and counties, as well as a place for romantic walks on the path around the lake. The buildings for the seven Colleges are interspersed in a park-like campus, each with its unique architectural style symbolic of its purpose and individuality. They all house various resting areas, student-run cafes and small courtyards. [-]

School Description Chang Jung Christian University (CJCU) is a private university located in southern Taiwan. Affiliated with the Presbyterian Church in Taiwan, CJCU is committed to developing the God-given gifts and abilities of each student within a culture of love, respect, and service. The university was founded in 1992 but is the outgrowth of a vision that began more than one hundred years earlier with the founding of Chang Jung Senior High School, Taiwan’s first western-style h… [+] igh school, in 1885. CJCU is a community of approximately 11,000 students and 350 faculty members who are eager to extend the warmth and hospitality of southern Taiwan to the rest of the world. The University places a high value on its relationships with partner schools, research agencies, churches, and other organizations around the world. As a Christian university, we seek to live out a gospel message that is for all peoples. As we press toward the goal of greater internationalization, we remain committed to the beauty and diversity of local culture. We hope that, in the future, we will have the privilege of welcoming you in person to CJCU! Why Chang Jung Christian University (CJCU)? CJCU emphasizes community; we believe that learning should take place in the context of caring relationships. CJCU emphasizes service to humanity: “to serve, not to be served.” As a Christian university, we value each student as an individual with unique God-given gifts and callings, and we place a strong value on justice, peacebuilding, and stewardship of the environment. CJCU is affiliated with the Presbyterian Church of Taiwan, a proponent of high-quality education and a strong advocate of local culture and Taiwan’s indigenous peoples. As a community made up of people from many faith backgrounds and cultures, we share a deep love for Taiwan. With the opening of the Shalun Line in January 2011, CJCU is the only university in Taiwan with its own rail station. The rail link makes it possible to travel from any station on the Taiwan High-Speed Rail or from Taiwan’s conventional rail system to the front gate of the University. Why Taiwan? Taiwan higher education offers high value: high-quality programs for tuition rates that are low by North American and Japanese standards. The government of Taiwan offers a generous program of scholarships and strongly promotes study by international students at its institutions of higher learning. Taiwan is a democracy with political and religious freedom; it is a place where the real issues facing the global Chinese-speaking community can be freely discussed… and the Internet is not censored. Public safety is good; students roam happily through university neighborhoods until midnight. Taiwan’s National Health Insurance program is excellent. Educational Purpose and Philosophy Educational Purpose: Chang Jung Christian University was established in the spirit of Christian love that led Christ to lay down his life for the world. Our purpose is to cultivate scholars of the highest caliber who will be guided by the ideals of “devotion, diligence, honor, and service” to cherish our nation, contribute to society, and serve humanity. Educational Philosophy: Chang Jung Christian University seeks to carry on the historical traditions and rich cultural heritage of the Presbyterian Church in Taiwan. As it pursues its goal of sustainable, holistic education, CJCU strives to continue the devotion to God, the love of wisdom, and the commitment to education shown by the early Presbyterian missionaries. It also seeks to create a campus culture that upholds democratic freedoms; advances original thinking; promotes a global worldview; imparts beauty to body, mind, and soul; and affirms the dignity and value of life. The University values diversity and openness and seeks to cultivate a lifelong love of learning, critical thinking, excellence in leadership, innovation, and vision for the future. By striving to provide the finest education possible in each of its five colleges, CJCU is responding to the divine call to “pass the torch” to the next generation and to raise up individuals of exemplary character who will excel in their fields and shine among their 21st-century contemporaries.

Founded in 1974, National Yang-Ming University, formerly known as National Yang-Ming College of Medicine, has been adhering to the school motto of "benevolent mind and art, putting knowledge into practice" while training excellent humane doctors to provide service by solving medical problems in remote and rural areas. Graduated in 1982, the first government-sponsored class of the Faculty of Medicine was sent to public clinics and hospitals. Since then, our graduates have… [+] penetrated all corners of Taiwan and became pioneers in basic healthcare services. As our graduates won warm acclaim from society, we found that we had successfully accomplished our initial mission. In order to cultivate a new generation of professional medical talents, we began to expand our disciplines into biomedicine. In 1994, we were promoted to "National Yang-Ming University" and became the first medicine-oriented comprehensive university in Taiwan. As time went on, we established the School of Medical Technology and Engineering, the School of Life Sciences, the Center for General Studies, and the School of Nursing. Finally, we were permitted to establish a School of Dentistry in 2000 and also became a research university focusing on medicine and biotechnology. We have been endeavoring to develop academic research since our establishment. Based on our school motto: "benevolent mind and art, putting knowledge into practice," we expect ourselves to both pursue academic excellence and be concerned for humanity. Thus, we have been enthusiastic about pursuing new knowledge, and apply it to teaching and research; this has led to the establishment of an extraordinary culture and an excellent tradition in academic research. In the area of teaching, we aim to develop our students' self-learning and independent thinking skills in accordance with our explicit educational philosophy of attempting to cultivate leaders with a sound fundamental knowledge, strong humanistic concerns, and critical thinking ability. In the past 30 years, we have trained many excellent doctors who have worked in remote areas and contributed significantly to the development of society; on the other hand, we have also trained excellent biomedical researchers who make very important contributions to the future of the country. Many of the active leaders in the field of biomedical science are our alumni. In the area of research, we have been awarded the Program for Promoting Academic Excellence of Universities for results in our top two research fields of Genetics and Brain Research. Additionally, with respect to interdisciplinary research, we have participated in the Megabase Human Genome Sequencing, constructed the BAC contig map of human chromosome 4 and sequenced the chimp's chromosome 22. Thanks to our outstanding accomplishments, we have recently been accredited as a research university by the Ministry of Education. Moreover, according to Academia Sinica 2005, we are ranked top in both the quality and quantity of research publications, as well as average faculty productivity among all universities in Taiwan. The report of Chiao Tung University, Shanghai, published in the same year, gave the same result. Our success is no coincidence but an attribute of excellent allocation of limited resources and the devoted efforts of both the faculty and students, all of which were needed to achieve "brilliant results in teaching and research" within such a short period of time. Due to our research atmosphere, academic accomplishments, innovative knowledge and cultivation of talent, we have well demonstrated our standing as a top university. In the future, we will continue to make good use of our accumulated capacity in teaching and research to educate and train future experts and leaders in the discipline of biomedicine. We will further develop the field of biomedicine that has won international attention and thus begin a new era in education and research at the top international level. [-]

Tamkang University’s Triple objectives: Globalization, Information-oriented Education, and Future-oriented Education, was born out of the foresight of Tamkang’s founder, Dr. Clement C. P. Chang. He states that “since the founding of the university, Tamkang has set ‘Globalization, Information-oriented Education, and Future-oriented Education’ as main objectives. The final goal is to attain quality research, improve instruction and enhance social welfare.” Why Choose Tamkang Uni… [+] versity-- The finest private coeducational university with the longest history and the fastest development in Taiwan. -- The first university in Taiwan which inaugurated the College of International Studies and initiated Area Studies programs, including the Graduate Institute of Southeast Asian Studies, Japanese Studies, American Studies, Latin American Studies, European Studies, Slavic Studies, and China Studies. -- The first university in Taiwan to adopt the “Digitalized Campus Teaching Support Platform” concept. -- In Taiwan’s first English-Friendly Environment Evaluation in 2003, the government has ranked Tamkang the number one university in the country. -- In the “1,000 Enterprises’ Favorite College Graduates” survey, conducted by the well-known Common Wealth (Cheers) Magazine, Tamkang University was ranked number one for twelve consecutive years on the list of local private universities. -- Ranked 351st place among world universities, 38th in Asia, 10th in Taiwan and 1st in Taiwanese private universities by Webometrics 2009. Globalization At its founding in 1950, the university possessed an international outlook. In the years that followed globalization became our logical direction. Globalization has long been one of the Triple Objectives of Tamkang University. In 1994, we were the first among all Taiwan universities, both public and private, to implement the Junior Year Abroad Program. Since then, 4,071 juniors of our university have studied abroad for one year. our Lanyang campus requires that all the courses be taught in English. Our policy also stipulates that all juniors at that campus must study abroad for one year. Currently, we have approximately 452 juniors studying overseas. We also have 108 sister universities in twenty-eight countries. At this time, we have an enrollment of about 255 foreign students and five well-known universities abroad share joint-degree programs with us. In recent years, Tamkang University has been applying the "mass collaboration" model of Wikinomics to promote globalization. In putting more emphasis on multiple integration and innovation, we endeavor to make globalization a "peer production" from which faculty and students are able to benefit and make contributions. With such an orientation, faculty and students become "prosumers." Our long-term goal is to transform our university into a world-class institution. To achieve this goal, the number of high calibers foreign faculty and foreign students must grow significantly. We are deeply committed to achieving this goal. It is our hope that before long this number will reach a "critical mass." Information-oriented Education Tamkang has long been a pioneer in information processing. Since the establishment of the Information Processing Center in 1968, Tamkang has applied computer technologies to administration, teaching, research, and services. To create the most attractive information-oriented campus is our vision.The information strategies are: (1) to continuously have a secure, reliable and fast information environment; (2) to integrate both information power and its applications on campus; (3) to possess a continuously innovative momentum; (4) to have ubiquitous applications campus-wide; (5) to serve the university for a lifetime. In recent years, Tamkang has constructed an economical off-campus dorm network, a fast and convenient campus network, a multi-layer security network, an innovative Digitalized Campus Teaching Support Platform, and an intensive and extensive university affairs information system--all of which makes Tamkang the most attractive e-Campus. Tamkang is the first academic institution in the world to receive the ISO 20000 certificate, the international standard for an IT Service Management System. And it is also the first academic/research institution in Taiwan to receive the ISO 27001 certificate, the international standard for an Information Security Management System (ISMS). The "e-Business Team" of Tamkang, comprised of faculty and students, has made Tamkang the first private university to qualify as an "e-Service Institution" according to the Industrial Development Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs. When e-Business Weekly Magazine recently conducted a survey on the digital environment of colleges and universities in Taiwan, Tamkang ranked number one out of a total of 127, and was described as a "digital paradise." Tamkang is currently in collaboration with mobile telecommunication businesses, for the purpose of constructing an all-new borderless, wireless university. According to the 2009 evaluation results of Webometrics, TKU is ranked 351st among 17,000 universities and research institutes, 31st in Asia, 10th in Taiwan and 1st among private Taiwan universities, a very honorable achievement. Future-oriented Education Because of the tremendous impact that technology had upon Taiwanese society in the 1960s, Dr. Clement C.P. Chang, our Founder, started to aggressively introduce Futures Studies in Taiwan. He initiated “The Future of Tomorrow,” a pioneer magazine about Futures Studies; as well he encouraged seminars and courses of Futures Studies in general and core education. Through the curriculum of the graduate institute and the undergraduate program for Futures Studies, students today learn how to recognize the future, adjust to its changing nature, and create the future. Due to its outstanding achievements and innovations, Tamkang University received an award for being the “Best Futures Studies Research Institution” from the World Futures Studies Federation in 1999. The future-orientated education is not only exhibited in teaching but also embodied in various stages of organizational changes, including transcending from the third to the fourth wave, adding the Market Model into university governance, pursuing excellence with soul and spirit, establishing the Oxbridge-style residential collegiate system in the Lanyang campus, and creating the Cyber Campus. These innovative strategies and changes demonstrate Tamkang University’s insightful vision and ability to face the uncertainty and challenges of tomorrow. With the ambition to become a world-class university, the future-oriented education will lead Tamkang University to new niches of research innovations, for example, providing research institutes with cutting-edge technology in their analysis of economic trends and climate changes. The University in keeping with its social responsibilities will also serve as teacher and mentor to global village residents through providing a dialogue between science, technology, and society (STS) and providing strategies and alternatives to solve emerging global problems.
