About

Established in central Taiwan in 1995, NCNU is tasked with both securing the inheritance of classical Chinese culture and cultivating a new generation of global-minded professionals. 

We currently have 4 colleges, 2 educational centers and 8 research centers. There are a total of 24 bachelor degree programs, 34 master degree programs, 9 in-service master programs and 13 PhD degree programs. An average of 6,500 students enroll each year to pursue degrees. After 24 years of operation, we now have a 20,000-strong alumni network that is putting down roots in different fields and regions across the world.

20 task units comprising nearly 700 faculty members are steadily transforming NCNU into central Taiwan's foremost cradle of humanistic, insightful, and passion-driven research and education.

Mission

We aim to distinguish ourselves through the following four vision statements:

Infuse distinctive local features: We conduct programs that address the unique needs of the local rural population, such as student-led community services, and tutoring programs for school children from remote townships. We also offer distinctive curricula that are synergetic with local economic activities, such as leisure and tourism, photo-electronics and the local industrial development.

Integrate humanities and technology: Through various interdisciplinary teaching programs, specialized courses and academic development projects, we encourage our students to embrace technology for the betterment of society, as well as humanistic enrichment that is in pace with technological advances.

Aggregate traditional and foreign education: Foreign students choose us thanks on the one hand to our traditional campus architecture and culture, and on the other hand to the efforts of the University Entrance Committee for Overseas Chinese Students, which is organized annually by us. As such, we have maintained the highest foreign-student ratio in the country.

Combine ecology and environment protection: Our campus is surrounded by natural and ecological diversity. Thus, we have always valued and attached great importance to carbon reduction, and environmental education and conservation.
