The College of Science and Engineering cultivates talents in the three major fields of infrastructure, technology, and people’s livelihood.

Infrastructure: The construction and development of the local area cannot be without civil engineering talents. The Department of Civil Engineering and Engineering Management of Kinmen University has a long history. From the Kinmen Bridge to various major constructions, it relies on the talents of this department to provide professional advice.

Technology: The two departments of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science & Information Engineering cultivate talents needed by the high-tech industry, with AI, AR, VR, big data and robots as the teaching focus required to meet the future market.

People’s Livelihood: The Department of Food Science is the promoter of Kinmen Liquor and the upgrading of Kinmen’s people’s livelihood industry. It has strong food processing, testing and extraction technologies. Related courses such as wine tasting and brewing are the most distinctive specialized fields.

The research fields of the College of Science and Engineering cover a wide range. Among them, the most local characteristics include island biological resource utilization, ecological and environmental sustainable engineering, green energy technology and application, and spatial information system application research, which play a long-term and far-reaching role in local engineering construction and industrial development.

As an important overseas Chinese town in the hearts of many overseas Chinese, the College of Humanities and Social Sciences is committed to preserving Southern Fujian culture, participating in local urban planning, guarding borders and cultivating international affairs talents. Develop related departments with the vision of “culture, city, and international” as the three main axes.

The Departments of Applied English and Chinese Studies enable students to have mobility and assist overseas Chinese children in preserving their Chinese language skills.

City: The background conditions of military sites, historical culture, and surrounding marine ecology make the teaching of the Department of Architecture and the Department of Urban Planning and Landscape more inclusive than other universities. At the same time, inject a balanced perspective of coexistence of old and new into urban architecture and landscape.

International: The particularity and importance of its geographical location make the two departments of International and Mainland China Affairs and Ocean and Border Management unique among domestic universities. In recent years, they have been accelerating the cultivation of the strongest cross-strait and border management talents for Taiwan.

3. College of Management
Including: Department of Business Administration, Department of Tourism Management, Department of Sports and Leisure, Department of Industrial Engineering and Management, Master Program with Direct Admission to Ph. D. Program in Strategy and Development of Cross-Border Industries

Peter Drucker, a master of Western management, once said that management issues are multi-faceted. Management is not just common sense, nor is it just a rule of thumb, but a set of organized knowledge.

The College of Management of Kinmen University systematically classifies teaching fields, starting from a solid foundation and practice of business management, and then echoing the characteristics of the outlying island industry to deepen the cultivation of tourism and sports management talents. After being upgraded to a university, it has become more closely aligned with the talent needs of industrial engineering management. The Department of Business Administration emphasizes both theory and practice, cultivating students’ ability to solve problems and innovate. The Department of Industrial Engineering and Management uses AI and smart manufacturing knowledge to lead students to meet the future of automated management. Tourism and recreation are important economic sources for Kinmen’s industry. Kinmen University also closely follows the industry’s heartbeat and cultivates management talents in the fields of tourism, sports and leisure for the country. The granite geology of Kinmen Taiwu Mountain and various rich natural and cultural landscapes are the real-life classrooms for the Department of Tourism to step out of textbooks. The wine-themed courses offered due to Kinmen’s wine production are also one of the characteristics of the Department of Tourism.

4. College of Health and Nursing

The College of Health and Nursing was established 10 years ago and is the youngest college in the school. It is particularly closely integrated with domestic long-term care policies and health care as a trend, undertaking the task of cultivating health care and social work talents for outlying islands and assisting Kinmen in expanding the health care industry. In order to educate students to have health care, global vision and professional literacy, the College of Health and Nursing emphasizes service professionalism and skills.

3. Cross-Strait and International Talent Training and Exchange

Kinmen has always been an important node for cross-strait exchanges and interactions, whether in terms of geographical location or long-term role-playing. Our school makes good use of its location advantages to design many cross-strait characteristic professional courses and arrange visits to or exchanges with cross-strait enterprises, so that students can grasp relevant information and trends on both sides of the strait as early as possible during their studies.

Our school actively negotiates with Taiwanese businessmen on both sides of the strait and in various countries to sign industry-university cooperation agreements, and promotes students to go to mainland China, Vietnam, Indonesia and other places for industrial internships in accordance with the spirit of the cooperation intention letters of both parties. At the same time, it also actively encourages students to participate in various international exchange seminars or participate in international volunteer activities.

In addition, our school actively promotes students to go to Taiwan, international or mainland prestigious universities for exchange studies. As long as you have excellent grades, you will have more opportunities to be selected to go to Taiwan, mainland China or study abroad.

Overseas Chinese students and foreign students participating in the exchange study program will not be affected by the original overseas Chinese student and foreign student scholarships, and can also apply for additional scholarships. Our school’s curriculum design, off-campus visits, internships, and cross-school and cross-national exchange studies are designed to promote students’ participation in cross-strait and international exchanges, cultivate international mobility, and strengthen students’ competitive advantages in employment.

4. Industry-University Cooperation or School-Employment Integration System

Industry-university cooperation internship and employment integration. It is emphasized that each department has a sound industrial internship system. For example, our Department of Business Administration has signed internship agreements with many companies such as King Yuan Electronics Co., Ltd., Ever Rich Co., Ltd., and Unified Securities Group. Students can choose to intern at the company in the last year of their program and get in touch with the employment environment early. (See the website of each department for details on industrial internships and employment planning in other departments)
