Department introduction
The School of Humanities and Social Sciences is a socially responsible institution dedicated to cultivating students with rational thinking skills and scientific knowledge, emphasizing social care and international perspectives. In this process, the intermingling of issues such as SDGs, ESG, and carbon issues can be seen. For example, the applied Japanese language department, applied English language department, applied Chinese language department, and cultural and governance program established by the school not only focus on the cultivation of professional knowledge, but also pay attention to the improvement of communication and coordination skills and foreign language proficiency, in order to achieve the goal of "quality education" in SDGs. At the same time, in the process of cultivating students who possess both morality and professional competence, ESG issues are also incorporated to cultivate professional talents with a sense of social responsibility. In addition, the school actively links with international higher education resources, such as establishing connections with top national and public universities in Japan as part of achieving the goal of "global partnership" in SDGs."
As the gateway to the country, Taoyuan's emphasis on issues such as SDGs, ESG, and carbon issues has been increasing. The establishment of the Master's program in Public Affairs and Applied Languages by our school is designed to cultivate more professional talents who have in-depth research on these issues. At the same time, all majors can also play an important role in the research and application of carbon issues, contributing to the goal of "climate action" in SDGs. In promoting ESG issues, the college's emphasis on humanities literacy can also provide important thinking and value for cross-domain integration in other industries.
In this challenging and opportunistic era, we believe that through cultivating professional knowledge, communication and coordination skills, foreign language proficiency, and social awareness, our students will be able to take a leading edge in different fields and contribute to the sustainable development of society and the environment. Welcome to join the School of Humanities and Social Sciences and together create a better future.
