About

History

Chiao Tung University was founded in 1896 (the 22nd year of the Kuanghsu Era of the Ching Dynasty). The school’s original name was NanyangCollege. In 1912, it was renamed the Shanghai Vocational College of Higher Education. In 1921, it was renamed again Chiao Tung University. And in 1937, it was renamed once more National Chiao Tung University (NCTU).

Education

Our school emphasizes the precept of pragmatism for the idea has been mentioned constantly in our mottos: from “Learn and work practically” (Vocational College, 1904-1912), to “Seek the truths from facts” (NCTU, 1930s), and lastly to “Absorb the new to look far ahead, and work pragmatically” (handwriting of the former President, Hung-Hsun Ling, 1974). In highlighting the special qualities of education and capturing the characteristics of the students at NCTU, these mottos are quite profound.

Good place for interdisciplinary learning
Anonymous rated 4 out of 5 stars

It's good place to take technology courses, and the university has been contributing to create more programs with cross-disciplinary. The interdisciplinary programs are based on Computer Science, Fine Art, Architecture, Social Science...etc. Teachers are welcome students from different majors to participate in the class. Though I was major in Humanities and Social...
