institutions in 25th, followed by National Tsing Hua University in northern Taiwan’s

Hsinchu City in 32nd and National Cheng Kung University in southern Taiwan’s

As a pioneer in the education of engineering subjects and scientific research in

Taiwan, NCTU has remained at the forefront of academic excellence and

groundbreaking research over the years, fostering numerous researchers,

entrepreneurs and leaders. Today the university has evolved into a prominent

university which offers a stimulating and holistic education for shaping talented

students into well-rounded intellectuals.

2. Abundant Research Resources

Surrounded by seven national research centers and laboratories, NCTU offers

students opportunities to participate in leading technology experiments, practical

trainings or internships with these research resources.

NCTU’s advanced research centers were established to promote and to coordinate

international and interdisciplinary academic research in diverse fields. Research

projects receive funding from the Ministry of Education.

In innovation, NCTU maintains a remarkable output every year. As one of the

highest numbers of patents among Taiwan universities. Moreover, NCTU is also one

of the highest revenue in technology licensing in Taiwan. 3. Internationalized Campus

NCTU was awarded Prize of Excellence in the Evaluation of Campus

Internationalization by Ministry of Education in 2015. With more than 1000

international students from more than 60 countries, NCTU is devoted to creating an

international student-friendly campus. NCTU provides not only wide-ranging

English-taught programs but also excellent facilities and education, such as a prayer

room, a gym and several activity centers for students. 4. Strong Alumni Network

The University has a strong and outstanding alumni network. Nearly two-thirds of

the CEOs or general managers in the Hsinchu Science Park (HSP) are NCTU alumni.

Some prestigious alumni in the high-tech industry , such as Dr. Stand Shih, Founder

of Acer and Dr. Fan-Cheng Tseng, Vice Chairman of Taiwan Semiconductor

Manufacturing Company Limited (tsmc).

Moreover, NCTU along with the 4 Jiaotong Universities in China is the largest

alumni network in the Asia Pacific region. 41

5. Internship Opportunities

In recent years, NCTU is devoted to helping international students to have the

connection with the industry. “Internship Program for NCTU International Students”

provides an internship opportunity, for junior, senior, master and Ph.D. students.

During the internship, students who participate in this program will attend the

cooperative enterprises or institutions. They will verify what they learnt in school

65 range of degree programs and exceptional teacher training. Over the past four decades, NCUE has evolved into one of the top universities of Taiwan in the areas of vocational education, science education, counseling, special education and language. In the fields of engineering, chemistry and information technology, the paper citations and total papers published are ranked among the top nationally in renowned indicators such as ESI and National Science Council’s SSCI. With a balanced development of teaching and research, NCUE has garnered the Ministry of Education’s Teaching Excellence Project grants for over 10 consecutive years and been awarded since 2018 to implement MOE’s first 5-year Higher Education

Sprout Project.

Well Recognized by the Public and the World

Aside from as high as 94 percent of admitted applicants enrolled at NCUE as freshman students in 2018, according to the MOE, NCUE was ranked as one of

Taiwan’s top 20 universities that attained an enrollment stability rate higher than

Most of NCUE graduates go on to successfully reach their goals by entering graduate schools or receiving jobs and teaching offers. The alumni have made exceptional contributions to their respective professions, and are leaders in their

NCUE is conveniently located in central Taiwan and adjacent to Taichung City, the second-largest metropolis in Taiwan, as well as many famous scenic spots such as the Central Taiwan Science Park, Taichung Precision Machinery Science and

Technology Innovation Park, and Zhang Bin Industrial Park. NCUE takes full advantage of its location and serves as a base for local collaborative activities. Such activities provide students with plenty of opportunities for internships and hands-on learning experience, helping them establish connections with government agencies and local industries.

The location also provides considerable advantages for living and traveling. Central

Taiwan is characterized as a mixture of verdant natural scenery, vibrant modern metropolis and nostalgic cultural heritage, offering a rich recreational resource for students. Also, Changhua City is only an hour away from Taipei, Taiwan’s capital city, Kaohsiung, Taiwan’s third-largest city, and Taoyuan international Airport by

Excellent Support for International Students

NCUE has been devoting resources to facilitating the integration of international students by drawing on support from a wide range of expertise within the

University, such as the Student Psychological Counseling and Guidance Center, and the student buddy and international ambassador systems that help students cope with maladaptive anxiety by offering one-on-one counseling for studies and daily challenges, and organizing activities for them. The ability to effectively support international students earned NCUE the Ministry of Education’s 2017 award for excellence in international student counseling. Five of Taiwan’s 171 universities 69
