A warm welcome to National Taipei University!

Our university’s history is colored with various stages of development: from the Provincial Junior College of Administration established in 1949, then to Taiwan Provincial College of Business and Law, and later, became National Chung Hsing University, College of Business and Law. In 2000, we officially became NTPU.

We currently have two campuses: the Taipei Campus and San Shia Campus. The former, which is located in the busy and bustling financial and political center of Taipei City, is accessible to metropolitan inhabitants and boasts of highly functional and well-preserved archaic structures. The latter is in the San Ying area of Taipei County. It welcomes people with a baroque frontage and walls. Its prominent edifices, namely, the Humanities Building, the Business Building, the Administrative Building, the Social Science Building, the Public Affair Building, the Law School Building, and the student dormitories, co-exist with the lush, tree-dotted landscape and the serene heart-shaped lake. Each campus possesses a unique aesthetic appeal but, nonetheless, provides an equal standard for education.

With six colleges, including the College of Law, the College of Business, the College of Public Affairs, the College of Social Science, the College of Humanities, and the College of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and eight on-the-job masters programs, National Taipei University has a total of 25 departments and institutes, along with a teacher training center. The present student population is roughly around 10,000: 8,000 undergraduate and 2,000 postgraduate students.

Many of our graduates go on to be highly successful professionals and serve in government agencies, work in the legal and financial fields, or are employed by private companies and non-government organizations. The achievements of our alumni are a tribute to the quality of education provided by our University, and their success has created a domino-effect in increasing public confidence in our institution.

In this dynamic era of knowledge-based economies and information technology (IT), where law, finance, economics, and innovation have become a mainstream and have formed part of the major forces in stabilizing societies and promoting global progress, National Taipei University is zealous in providing outstanding knowledge.

The University also puts emphasis on a holistic education for students. In addition to good academic and recreational facilities, we have set up a tutor system to emphasize personality development and lifestyle mentoring. It is our hope that through these measures, students will not only have a sound personality, but also healthy self-esteem and confidence, so as to be fully prepared for future roles and to be passionate about the University, society, and the world.

National Taipei University is a vigorous and energetic university, and it would be our privilege to have you as part of our progressive community.
