About · 學校簡介

From Boxer Indemnity scholarships to Taiwan's tech corridor.

National Tsing Hua University's origins reach back to April 11, 1911, when it was founded in Beijing as Tsinghua College, funded through the return of Boxer Indemnity scholarship money. The university was re-established at its present Hsinchu location in 1956. Its main campus, along with the additional Nanda Campus, sits adjacent to the Hsinchu Science Park and near major research institutes including ITRI, the National Synchrotron Radiation Research Center, and the National Center for High-Performance Computing. Today NTHU is organized into 12 colleges with 26 departments and 31 graduate institutes, offering more than 140 degree programs to roughly 18,000 students — about 9,000 undergraduates and 9,000 graduate students — supported by around 3,000 faculty.

國立清華大學的歷史可追溯至1911年4月11日,當時以「清華學堂」之名在北京創立,經費來自庚子賠款的退還。學校於1956年在新竹現址復校。主校區與南大校區皆緊鄰新竹科學園區,並鄰近工研院、國家同步輻射研究中心、國家高速網路與計算中心等重要研究機構。目前清華大學設有12個學院、26個系及31個研究所,提供逾140個學位學程,學生總數約18,000人——其中大學部與研究所各約9,000人,並有約3,000位教職員。
