The Sustainable Development Agenda 2030, detailed in the United Nations Sustainable Development Agenda 2030, was formally adopted at the United Nations Sustainable Development Summit in September 2015. Replacing the Millennium Development Goals (MDGS) with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGS) provides guidance for the global path to sustainable development beyond 2015. National Tsing Hua University also hopes that its graduates will learn the sustainability in their studies and regularly evaluate them to facilitate their sustainable operation and fulfill the university's purpose and mission to pursue the goals of top universities of excellence.

The SDG Sustainable Graduating Students Learning Feedback Questionnaire was developed by the Center for Institutional Research in 2021. The concept of sustainable development is receiving increasing attention, and the Center for Institutional Research has drawn on the "Educational For Sustainable Development Goals-Learning Objectives" literature to design questionnaires that are consistent with the university's sustainability goals and learning outcomes. The graduate review survey, conducted by university students from June to October 2021, included not only the full number of graduates but also the degree to which students achieved sustainable learning outcomes during their college years.

The bar chart illustrates the sustainability learning outcomes of graduates from NTHU's core sustainability-related departments. Scores range from 1 to 5, with 5 representing the highest level of awareness and learning. Among the 17 SDGs, Goal 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation) received the highest average score. This reflects the severe water crisis Taiwan faced in the summer of 2021 (graduation season), which deeply resonated with the students. Goal 4 (Quality Education) also received high ratings, underscoring NTHU’s core mission of pedagogical innovation and indicating that graduates recognize quality education as a cornerstone of sustainable development. In contrast, lower scores for Goal 1 (No Poverty) and Goal 2 (Zero Hunger) reflect a specific demographic characteristic of our student body: as students of one of Taiwan’s top-tier universities, they often possess socio-economic advantages and better career prospects. Consequently, their firsthand awareness of poverty and hunger issues is relatively limited. This highlights a critical area where NTHU should enhance student engagement through future curriculum and extracurricular activities. Most other goals averaged around 4, demonstrating that NTHU graduates possess a robust and comprehensive understanding of the SDGs.
