4.3) Lifelong learning measures

In addition to traditional degree programs, universities also offer various types of professional training programs and certification courses to meet societal needs. In response to the trend of lifelong learning, university education is no longer confined to training higher education talents, but actively provides high-quality learning resources and environments to the public. In addition to offering many free and paid certification courses to cultivate professional talents, the university also cooperates with government policies to offer courses that meet societal needs and future trends.

Beyond professional courses, the university also organizes many open lectures, exhibitions, and events for the public to participate in for free. For example, the arts center holds free art exhibitions every year, the Center for General Education and Core Curriculum organizes concerts, the Physical Education Office holds health lectures for the elderly, departments organize workshops, lectures, graduation project exhibitions, seminars, etc., to fully meet diverse learning needs.

Outside the campus, the USR projects go deep into the community for study and communication, and the teachers and students also actively serve the community, extending the university's role in driving regional development. For example, the professional service courses of each department go deep into primary and secondary schools to provide science popularization services in various fields, and student clubs are dispatched to perform off-campus services, exploring sustainable operations.

Through the university's professional knowledge, the university also converts related resources into extension courses, continuously providing lifelong education services. In addition to opening the campus for free to provide learning resources for the public, the university has also constructed MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) and the Tamkang University Open Course Youtube channel, effectively using online courses to serve more audiences, demonstrating the social function of the university.

In addition to the blend of virtual and real in lifelong learning, the university is also committed to promoting educational fairness, establishing regulations such as gender equality and the right to education, establishing a resource center for blind students to provide a good learning environment for visually impaired friends; providing friendly toilets to respect gender diversity; establishing a gender equality complaint mechanism, campus bullying prevention reporting, etc., to create a friendly and safe campus environment.
