An Introduction to NCHU

When it was first established in 1919, National Chung Hsing University (NCHU) only had one department—the Department of Agroforestry. Since that time, it has become one of Taiwan’s most long-standing comprehensive research universities and the third largest national university on the island, with 12 colleges spanning the fields of the humanities and social sciences, science and technology, agriculture and medicine. Today, NCHU is continuing to build on its rich history as an educational institution by developing programs that equip students with a strong competitive advantage, with the ultimate goal of becoming a world-class comprehensive research university with far-reaching influence.

History of NCHU

Founded in 1919 as the Government-General of Taiwan’s Advanced Academy of Agronomy and Forestry, NCHU attained its present form in 1971 following numerous school mergers and name changes. As of 2022, the University has 12 colleges of Liberal Arts, Agriculture and Natural Resources, Science, Engineering, Life Sciences, Veterinary Medicine, Management, Law and Politics, Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, Medicine, Academy of Circular Economy and Innovation and Industry Liaison. With more than a century of history, NCHU is one of the most long-standing higher education institutions in Taiwan.
