. Introduction of Program
IInnttrroodduuccttiioonn ooff UUnniivveerrssiittyy
In 1924, Dr. Sun Yat-sen, the Founding Father of the Republic of
China, incorporated the National Higher Normal College, Kwangtung
Provincial Law College, and Kwangtung Provincial Agricultural
Technical School into the National Kwangtung University. He
declared the school motto to be erudition, examination,
contemplation, discernment, and implementation to encourage
students and instructors on making unremitting effort to improve
themselves.
After the demise of Dr. Sun, to commemorate his contribution and
devotion to the nation, the
University was renamed the National Sun Yat-sen University in 1926
and its campus site relocated in Shin-p'ai, Canton. After moving to
Taiwan, because of the demand for higher education, the government
re-established the university in Kaohsiung in 1980 and considered
Dr. Sun's birthday (November 12) to be its anniversary. NSYSU has
emerged over the years as one of the best comprehensive
universities in the country. In 2002 NSYSU was named by the
Ministry of Education as one of the country's seven major
research-intensive universities. We are the leading national
university in Southern Taiwan, and have set the benchmark for high
standards in teaching, research, and internationalization. Our
curriculum is well balanced to cover most disciplines in liberal
arts, management, social sciences, engineering, science, and marine
science. It is the common aim of our faculty and administrative
team to provide a well-rounded and memorable educational experience
for all our students, undergraduate or graduate.
With the dedication of previous and present university presidents,
NSYSU continues to
prosper and develop, and has become one of the top universities in
Taiwan. It consists of six colleges, including the colleges of
Liberal Arts, Science, Engineering, Management, Social Sciences,
and Marine Sciences, with 18 undergraduate, 35 masters, and 25
doctoral programs. The enrollment has reached 9500 students and the
number of full-time faculty members approximates 440.
Located alongside the Hsitzu Bay of Kaohsiung city, the campus
leans east against the Longevity Hill, faces west to the Taiwan
Strait, leads south to the port of Kaohsiung, and rests north on
Mount Chai. With inspiration from the majestic sea all year round,
students are awakened by their thirst for truth and advance their
knowledge in the liberal ambiance. Development Features
