- Taipei, Taiwan
With roots in literature, politics, natural sciences, and agriculture
since 1928, National Taiwan University (NTU) is Taiwan's premier
university. NTU has since expanded to include more than 280 degree
programs ranging from engineering to social sciences to public health,
underpinned by innovative research and academia-industry cooperation.
Guided by independent thought and a pioneering spirit of enterprise,
students at NTU become a part of the nation's richest center of
learning and receive a diverse and superlative education. Located in
the heart of Taipei, a bustling international city with history
connected to Japan, China, Southeast Asia, and the US, students will
be immersed in cultural gems, night markets, and bubble tea. Taiwan's
transportation system allows easy access to the stunning nature and
towns across the country.
