About · 學校簡介

From Qing-dynasty Nanjing to the Sun Moon Lake foothills.

National Chi Nan University (NCNU) traces its roots to 1906, when 暨南學堂 was founded in Nanjing during the late Qing Dynasty as one of China's earliest schools for overseas Chinese students. The institution's name and mission were revived in Taiwan in 1995 (ROC 84), when the university was re-established on a 150-hectare campus in Puli Township, Nantou County — making it, over a century after its founding, the county's only university. Today NCNU serves about 6,556 students, including 4,802 undergraduates and 1,754 graduate students, and is ranked among Taiwan's leading universities for research output.

國立暨南國際大學的歷史可追溯至1906年(清光緒年間),當時「暨南學堂」於南京創立,是中國最早招收僑生的學校之一。這段歷史與精神於民國84年(1995年)在台灣復校延續,校址選定於南投縣埔里鎮,佔地150公頃,也讓暨大成為南投縣唯一的大學。現今暨大擁有約6,556名學生,其中大學部4,802人、研究所1,754人,並在台灣各大學研究表現排名中名列前茅。
