As part of the School of Foreign Languages and Cultures, the Department of English Language and Literature, the Department of Japanese Language and Culture, the Department of German Language and Culture, and the Language Center are all designed to develop talented foreign language students to become experts possessing "excellent language skills," "foreign language and humanities skills," "cross-cultural communication skills," and "global perspectives." Our research primarily focuses on "foreign language, literature and culture," including publishing journals and conducting seminars. Much of the efforts are devoted to expanding the worldview of students by providing them with advanced and well-rounded facilities as part of a full range learning environment.
School of Science
The School of Sciences' educational goal is to cultivate a habit of practical and analytical thinking, a good grasp of basic scientific theories, the ability to integrate various technology applications, an open mind, and a well-developed sense of academic ethics. The Department of Mathematics, the Department of Physics, the Department of Chemistry, the Department of Microbiology, the Department of Psychology, and Forensic Science Program all have the characteristics of "placing equal emphasis on both the theoretical and the practical, dividing classes into small lab and practice groups, establishing off-campus internship and university-industry partnerships to provide internship in a real world environment, and focusing on innovative teaching strategies to enhance teaching effectiveness." We pay special attention to individual teachers' professional research and interdisciplinary research groups. Our active teaching and abundant research capacity is the basis for the implementation of numerous projects supported by grants from various ministries and industries, and have annually resulted in a fruitful harvest of awards and patents.

By integrating the Teaching Excellence Program with specialization in research, promoting a two-way teaching methodology, placing equal weight on theory and practice, designing well-rounded curriculums, inviting highly qualified teachers to teach, nurturing high-level legal talents, promoting international and cross-strait legal exchanges, expanding an all-inclusive worldview, encouraging participation in community service, cultivating professional ethics and concern for the wellbeing of the people, we aim at helping transform each student into a person with proper legal personality, and thereby contributing member to society.
School of Business
The School of Business adheres to an honest and steady learning style. In addition to strengthening the professional training of students in business management, the school emphasizes the need to improve literacy in humanities. With "high quality teaching," "research specialization," "open worldview," and "proactive services and guidance" as its educational philosophy, the school is committed to turning students into high-class business talents possessing high ethical and moral qualities, an international outlook, and professionalism. In response to the trend for innovation and risk management in a knowledge-based economy, the school integrated teacher resources from the Department of Economics, Department of Accounting, Department of Business Administration, Department of International Business, Department of Financial Engineering and Actuarial Mathematics, and Department of Computer Science and Information Management to offer the "Technology Management Program" and "Finance Program," as a way of promoting interdisciplinary courses to help expand the area of diverse learning for our students.

The School will officially begin in September 2015, enrolling 90 undergraduate and 20 graduate level students. At the initial stage our research and development will be focusing on actual practice of big data analysis and management applications. Much stress will be put on industry-academic collaboration, and knowledge application integration to develop big data management professionals for the new century.
