National Hsinchu University of Education

National Hsinchu University of Education (NHCUE) officially merged with National Tsing Hua University (NTHU) on November 1, 2016, becoming the NTHU Nanda Campus. This integration brought together NHCUE's strong legacy in teacher training and humanities with NTHU's comprehensive research capabilities. Prospective international students will now be part of a larger, more diverse institution with a rich academic environment.

Academics

The Nanda Campus, formerly NHCUE, offers a range of programs primarily within the College of Education and the College of Humanities, Social Sciences and Arts. The College of Education includes departments such as Education and Learning Technology, Early Childhood Education, Special Education, and Educational Psychology and Counseling. The College of Humanities, Social Sciences and Arts features departments like Music, Chinese Language and Literature, English Instruction, and Arts and Design. NTHU as a whole is a comprehensive research university with 13 colleges and over 140 degree programs, emphasizing both foundational scientific discoveries and breakthrough technologies.

International Students

NTHU provides various support services for international students, including mental health services, peer groups, and nutrition counseling through its Counseling Center. The Division of Student Activities assists with student club participation and campus events, fostering cultural integration. While specific diversity statistics for the Nanda Campus are not readily available, NTHU offers numerous English-taught programs across its colleges, including engineering, science, humanities, and management, making it accessible for international students. International students are eligible to apply, provided they meet specific nationality and previous study requirements.

Campus & Location

The Nanda Campus is situated in Hsinchu City, Taiwan, a location known as the "Science City of Taiwan" and a hub for high-tech industries, including the Hsinchu Science Park. Hsinchu offers a blend of modernity and antiquity, with historical sites, parks, and a lively culinary scene. While public transportation within Hsinchu may not be as extensive as in larger cities like Taipei, mopeds or bicycles are common modes of transport for students. The NTHU main campus, which the Nanda Campus is part of, features extensive facilities, including eighteen dormitories and various academic buildings.
