National Yunlin University of Science and Technology Ranks First Nationwide in Emerging Excellence and Regional Leadership Awards

On January 7, 2026, 104 Job Bank published the latest results of its 2026 University Brand Power survey. Among 123 public and private universities across Taiwan, National Yunlin University of Science and Technology (YunTech) achieved an impressive overall ranking of 20th nationwide and 4th among national technical universities. YunTech also maintained its leading positions by winning the Emerging Excellence Award (Newcomer Award) nationwide and the Regional Leadership Award for central Taiwan’s technical universities, underscoring the university’s steady and influential achievements in higher education.

The survey integrated extensive job-seeking and recruitment big data from 104 Job Bank, responses from nearly a thousand corporate HR questionnaires, information from the Ministry of Education’s university public data platform, and international rankings. Universities were evaluated comprehensively based on 12 key indicators: job competency, future capabilities, employment demand by academic discipline, personality strengths, reputation, academic prestige, industry–academia collaboration, research and development capacity, internationalization, leadership at senior levels, sustainability, and salary competitiveness by academic discipline.

In specific indicators, YunTech graduates ranked 3rd nationwide among technical universities in personality strengths, academic prestige, and salary competitiveness. The university placed 4th in job competency, future capabilities, employment demand, reputation, industry collaboration, internationalization, senior leadership, and sustainability. In research and development, YunTech ranked 5th nationally, demonstrating strong recognition by industry and society for its comprehensive strength in talent cultivation and research innovation.

YunTech President Chang Chuan-Yu noted that the university recently celebrated its 35th anniversary, marking it as a relatively young institution in a dynamic and flexible development phase. With an open learning attitude and innovative spirit, YunTech continues to shape its unique characteristics and competitive advantages. Based on THE (Times Higher Education) World University Rankings, which covers 2,191 universities worldwide, YunTech’s ranking has steadily risen in recent years, maintaining a position within 501–600 globally for three consecutive years (2024–2026) and ranking 8th domestically, reflecting continuous, stable progress rather than stagnation.

President Chang further emphasized that the results of the 104 Job Bank University Brand Power survey once again highlight YunTech graduates’ strong personality strengths and immediate employability, earning deep trust and recognition from employers. Looking forward, the university will continue to adopt innovative strategies to proactively address opportunities and challenges brought by AI technology. Through technological research and innovative services, YunTech aims to advance toward becoming a responsible smart university.

Moving ahead, YunTech will deepen its research and development capabilities and further demonstrate its strengths in sustainability, industry collaboration, and internationalization. The university aspires to continuously improve its performance in future evaluations and expresses sincere gratitude for the strong support and recognition it has received from all sectors.
