National Cheng Kung University

Rooted in Tainan’s rich history and innovative spirit, National Cheng Kung University (NCKU) began in 1931 as Taiwan’s industrial education pioneer. In 1956, we established the island’s very first business school: the NCKU College of Management (originally the NCKU College of Commerce). Today, we offer 35 diverse degree programs across 5 departments and 12 institutes.

We don't just teach management; we advance the frontiers of knowledge and connect it to the real world. This practical approach is why Global Views and Cheers have named our graduates Taiwan’s "Most Preferred Employees" for 12 consecutive years (as of 2026). Joining us means learning alongside 100+ dedicated faculty with extensive expertise and a vibrant community of 2,800+ driven students, while inheriting a powerful network of 25,000+ alumni who are socially responsible professionals making a tangible impact—from leading boardrooms as corporate executives to guiding public policy as government ministers and city mayors.

To thrive internationally, we foster comprehensive global mobility. Through 20+ partner schools across the Americas, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific, our students actively engage in far more than just exchanges and dual degrees—they also participate in global internships, international competitions, cross-border research collaborations, and a myriad of other international endeavors.

Guided by our core values—Truth and Knowledge, Integration and Innovation, Growth and Excellence—we are striving to become a leading business school in the Asia-Pacific region. Yet, our ultimate mission knows no borders: we develop professionally qualified, socially responsible leaders who are equipped to serve business and society across the global economy.
