 The Department of Government and Law (GL) was set up in 2000 for the domestic political development and rule of law in southern Taiwan, and offers Undergraduate Program, 2-year In-service (part-time) Bachelor Program, Master Program, and In-service (part-time) Master Program. In teaching and research, GL features transcending traditional boundaries by a combination of political science and law, and “State” is its core element in programming curriculum of all programs, i.e. by the concept “State” to connect political science with law. The courses in the part of political science focus on government organizations and policies. In the part of law is on administrative law and constitutional law. This Department also provides core courses in traditional Civil, Commercial Law and Criminal Law.

 

Teaching Goals

 

 Seeing that many of law practitioners are deficient in political idea and vision, and politician deficient in sense of rule of law, the founder and the first President of NUK, Professor Jen- Hung Wang, recognized that it is necessary and important to set up GL for the domestic political development and rule of law. The faculty shares such subjective, and adheres to the following principle and goal in running GL:

 1. Core principle: Connecting political science with law in teaching and research by the concept “State” to help promote and consolidate the development of Democracy and rule of law.

 2. Basic goal: Training and developing excellent person fit for both public and private sectors by providing fundamental and advanced learning opportunities for those who are interested in political science and law.

 On the foregoing principle and goal, GL has been orientating itself toward a department:

•Offering interdisciplinary courses equally in political science and law;

•Integrating theories and practices in teaching and research;

•Giving consideration to professional knowledge with humanistic concern; and

•Developing a free, participative, and open-minded academic base.

•Connect with the related researchers to develop key research subjects;

•Bring in the resources of government and industry to put in teaching and then to enhance graduates’ competence in jobs;

•Improve teaching and counselling system to prepare current students’ competitive advantage when heading toward next step;
