A Brief Sketch

Founded in 1946 originally as Taiwan Provincial Teachers College, the school had a mission to train outstanding teachers for secondary education. The name was changed to National Taiwan Normal University (NTNU) in 1967, but the commitment to quality education and teacher training remained. With the enactment of the Teacher Preparation Law in 1994, NTNU transformed itself through creating many new academic departments and continuing to promote the international collaboration in any possible forms with prestigious universities overseas, as well as welcoming international students to enroll in the academic programs. NTNU has established sister-school ties with 138 well-known institutions abroad, spanning four continents: Europe, Asia, the Americas, and Australia. NTNU is a diverse, multinational institution and community, with an international student population of nearly 3,000 students, including students enrolled in the Mandarin Training Center.

NTNU is composed of three campuses: the main campus, the Gongguan campus (home to the College of Science), and the Linkou campus (home to the College of International Studies and Education for Overseas Chinese). Fifty-eight academic departments and graduate institutes are divided between ten distinct colleges: the College of Education , College of Liberal Arts, College of Science, College of Arts ,College of Music, College of Technology, College of Management, College of Sports and Recreation, College of International Studies and Education for Overseas Chinese, and College of Social Sciences. Currently, around 49 departments and graduate institutes are open to international students.

NTNU is host to 16 research divisions and Education Centers. Established in 1956, the Mandarin Training Center not only boasts a long history, but is also the largest and most well-known Mandarin language center in Taiwan.
