Introduction
National Pingtung University of Science and Technology (NPUST) was founded in 1924 with the goal of developing tropical agriculture research and cultivating technology talents. NPUST leans against the foot of Dawu Mountain, with nearly 300 hectares of campus, vast grasslands, and lush trees, presenting different beautiful scenery in all seasons. It is a national university with the reputation of a “National Park University” and has been ranked first in Taiwan in the UI GreenMetric World University Rankings for six consecutive years.
Currently, there are seven colleges: Agriculture, Engineering, Management, Humanities and Social Sciences, Veterinary Medicine, International College, and College of Professionals. The departments and graduate institutes are well-developed, and there are abundant learning resources in various fields. NPUST takes innovative “Technology Agriculture”, “Ecological Industry”, “Platinum Society” and “Blue Economy” as the four main axes of school development, and actively promotes industry-academia cooperation with the concepts of “cross-domain”, “cross-digital”, “cross-industry” and “cross-international”, and cultivates interdisciplinary talents with both humanistic and professional literacy, innovative thinking and international perspective, so as to fulfill the social responsibility of the university and create new achievements for NPUST.
International Exchange and Cooperation
At present, NPUST has established partnerships with 275 sister schools in 46 countries, and more than 600 international students from 42 countries are studying at NPUST. The alliance map covers the world. NPUST actively participates in international exchanges, focusing on the New Southbound Policy, and attracts outstanding overseas teachers and students to come to pursue further studies through international academic organizations, inter-school R cooperation, seed teacher training, and student exchanges, which has made great contributions to the development of agricultural technology in diplomatic countries and Southeast Asian countries.
Currently, the cumulative number of international graduates exceeds 2,700, and the alumni have outstanding performance in various fields. The Overseas Youth Vocational Training Program recruits agricultural elites for training, opening up an innovative model for NPUST’s agricultural foreign aid. At present, the scope of foreign aid has been expanded to different professional fields such as industry, management, humanities, and climate disaster prevention. Most of the students are from Malaysia, and most of the graduates are Malaysian elites, who are currently employed in important national leadership departments or start their own businesses, shining the golden signboard of NPUST.

Our school promotes adaptive teaching, strengthens academic research, improves service quality, implements the purpose of teaching, research, and service, cultivates students’ core skills of “professionalism,” “holistic education,” and “internationalization,” and closely combines with the needs of the industry to cultivate technological talents who can “connect with the industry immediately after graduation.” Open overseas special classes to strengthen international exchanges and expand international reputation.
The campus upholds the spirit of “beautiful and courteous, harmonious and studious,” promotes SMART Meiho’s new five ethics, and promotes students to develop the five good habits of “tranquility, stillness, purity, respect, and competition” to create a refined and high-quality holistic campus culture.

At the same time, it promotes the integration plan of smart care and silver hair care, and establishes a smart health care center to combine technology and care to cultivate forward-looking talents.
The school has a Research and Development Office as a window for industry-academia cooperation to promote institutionalized cooperation plans and integrate the results into courses and students’ practical learning.
