The General Education Center makes an NTUT education a holistic one by providing courses in  humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences, which are further divided into four dimensions of humanities and arts , social sciences and legal affairs, natural sciences, as well as innovation and entrepreneurship. Students are required to complete at least two courses in these four dimensions - and one community service session to prepare them to be professionals with a genuine concern for human society and for the natural world.

The Center also seeks to build up students' Chinese abilities and their connection with Chinese culture through courses in Chinese classics.

For international students, however, the training focus is shifted to general Chinese communication abilities.

In addition, the Center frequently hosts extracurricular activities such as student concerts, cultural exhibitions, and seminars on films that seek to bring the perspective of the humanities and cultural studies to our technology-based University.
