Not only does it offer many physical and online courses for the public to participate in for free or paid, but also offers Lohas courses designated for the elderly to fulfill the social responsibilities of the university.

TKU is a teaching-oriented research university. Each college regularly organizes various workshops, professional knowledge and competence service-learning activities, lectures, graduation exhibitions, international forums, etc., which are free for the public to participate in. Various academic seminars are conducted regularly, and international scholars are invited to enhance the energy of local research.

The library of TKU is open to the public. It provides 1.31 million collections of resources, 2.73 million e-books, and 70,000 e-journals for the public to use; university resources such as online courses are fully opened to the public to give back to the public free of charge.

TKU is one of the few universities in Taiwan that pioneered the admission of visually impaired students. It established the country's only visually impaired resource center to assist visually impaired students in their education and employment. The facilities of the entire university meet the mobility needs of disabled students, with special emphasis on gender equality. Many of the early pioneers of women's rights in Taiwan are from TKU, and an ad hoc committee for gender equality has been set up to promote gender equality education.
