National Cheng Kung University was founded in 1931 as Tainan Technical College. It has since become one of the most well-known and successful of all Taiwanese higher education institutions, and has acquired a solid reputation, most notably in the fields of electronics and engineering.

The university itself is spread across a large number of urban campuses, all generally located near the centre of the city of Tainan. These campuses play host to a significant number of advanced academic and public facilities, including the university hospital and an advanced hydraulics laboratory.
