National Central University | Taiwan
In 1902, during the late Qing Dynasty, the Liangjiang Governor-General Chang Chih-tung established Liangjiang Normal School in the Chinese city of Nanjing. This was the birth of modern-style education in China and also the founding of National Central University (NCU). NCU now has seven colleges in different areas, including Liberal Arts, Science, Engineering, Management, Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, Earth Sciences, and the College of Hakka Studies. Its facilities and faculty are tremendously improved, and it has gained an international reputation for research and academic excellence. Cooperative education programs and cooperative research projects have grown in number over the years. In the context of globalization, NCU has been striving to increase its competitiveness in both research and teaching to prepare itself to join the ranks of the best universities in the world.
