History

CCUT was originally established as Chung Chou Vocational Institute of Engineering in 1969. In 1991, the school name was changed to Chung Chou Junior College of Technology and in 2000, the name was changed again to Chung Chou Institute of Technology. It was finally renamed the Chung Chou University of Science and Technology on 1 August 2011.[1] In 2015, the university had been put under observation for quality issues.[2]

Scandal

In 2022, CCUT was reported to have illegally lured overseas students to Taiwan. The students, who were found through brokers had to commit to paying higher tuition fees and were forced to work overtime in factories to pay back these fees. The college committed to providing English courses and scholarships to international students. Once the students signed up, the classes turned out to be taught fully in Chinese, and the students were required to get high scores to be qualified for any scholarship.[3][4]

Transportation

The university is accessible within walking distance East from Yuanlin Station of the Taiwan Railways.
