The glorious history of NTHU can be traced back to the first half of the 20th century. In 1911, NTHU was established as “Tsing Hua Academy” in Beijing, China. And then re-instated in Hsinchu, Taiwan in 1956 by the original President Yi-Chi Mei (1889-1962). Over the last sixty years, NTHU has developed to an institute housing 12 colleges with more than 140 degree programs open for international students ranging from science, engineering, nuclear, life science & medicine, electrical engineering & computer science to humanities & social science, technology management, arts, education, semiconductor and more.

Regarded as one of the top research universities, our research and development activities across the universities emphasize fundamental discoveries at the forefronts of basic sciences and exploration of breakthrough technologies with a high potential for applications. Active performances above can be reflected from our publication in the world's preeminent journals, awarded international patents, and technology transfer cases.
