The Tsing Hua National University ( Chinese  國立 清華大學  /  国立 清华大学 , Pinyin Guólì Qīnghuá Dàxué , Tongyong Pinyin Guólì Cinghuá Dàsyué , abbr .: NTHU ) is a research university in Hsinchu , Taiwan .

Her focus is on technology-related and natural science courses. The university has 7 colleges, 17 departments and 18 independent institutes, which are located on a spacious campus area. The university, which has a strong postgraduate program, employs over 600 full-time professors. For the Asian region, the university is aiming for a position like MIT in the USA. In the QS ranking 2021, it was ranked 168th worldwide and 32nd in Asia. The Science Park of Hsinchu, with which the university is closely connected, is located in the immediate vicinity of the university campus. The Science Park is known as the Taiwanese Silicon Valley with a high concentration of important companies from the high-tech industry (especially semiconductors). The Chiao Tung National University , also located in Hsinchu, has been in strong competition with it since both schools were founded. The rivalries are particularly evident in the annual Mei-Chu-Tournament / Mei-Zhu-Tournament ( 梅 竹 賽  /  梅 竹 赛 , Méi-Zhú-Sài ), a series of sports and game competitions in March. The ratio is also often compared with Athens (NTHU) and Sparta (NCTU) or with Cambridge and Oxford .

history

Originally, the NTHU was the Tsinghua University ( Chinese  清華大學  /  清华大学 , Pinyin Qīnghuá Dàxué , Tongyong Pinyin Cinghuá Dàsyué ) (founded in Beijing in 1911 ) and a preparatory school for Chinese students who were to be sent by the government to study in the USA but in 1925 it was converted into a university. In 1937, at the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War , it was merged with Peking University and Nankai University . It was formed in 1937 as Temporary Changsha University in Changsha , which became a combat zone in 1938, and then as United Southwest University in 1938–45 after relocation to Kunming . After the World War, all three universities were moved back to Beijing and Tianjin. Some of the workforce resisted and moved to Hsinchu. In 1955, their first institute for nuclear sciences was founded when the construction of a nuclear reactor began. The college for nuclear research goes back to this. This resulted in the NTHU, which officially began operations on January 1, 1956. Both Tsing Hua Universities are no longer linked, but each claim to be the true Tsing Hua University. However, the relationship has relaxed and the universities are trying to cooperate. On November 1, 2016, the Hsinchu National Pedagogical University (NHCUE) was integrated into the NTHU.
