University of Taipei

The University of Taipei was officially established on August 1, 2013, as a comprehensive university formed by the merger of the Taipei Municipal University of Education and the Taipei Municipal University of Physical Education.

The University of Taipei integrates the excellent traditions of both schools and, based on the excellent tradition of teacher training, creates a “model university for teacher training.”

Based on the advantage of cultivating outstanding sports athletes, it is building a “major university for gold medal-winning athletes.”

Furthermore, based on the school’s expertise in humanities and arts, science education, sports and leisure, and the Taipei City Government’s future demand for talents in municipal management and development, it is being built into a “metropolitan-characteristic innovative university.”

In addition, with “teaching excellence, research advancement, internationalization, industry-academia cooperation, and community service” as the five major development axes, it actively promotes new directions in school development and becomes a well-known metropolitan university at home and abroad with scale and competitiveness.

International Exchange and Cooperation

The university has 159 sister schools spanning the Asia-Pacific, Europe, the United States, and the Middle East. In recent years, it has accumulated an annual quota of 348 exchange students to conduct exchange student programs, double degree programs, faculty visits, and joint international conferences with sister schools. Among the sister schools, 23 are ranked among the top 500 best universities in the world by QS or THE.

In line with the Taipei City Government’s policy, priority is given to exchanges with sister city schools in the city, such as Shanghai University and the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi.

Actively promote overseas off-site teaching at sister schools to promote students’ international mobility and expand their global vision.

Regularly select exchange students and organize overseas off-site teaching. Students can go to sister schools in Russia, Italy, France, the Czech Republic, Spain, Norway, the United States, Israel, Colombia, Turkey, Japan, Korea, China and other regions for exchanges to increase students’ opportunities to study internationally in different countries and expand their international horizons.

Transportation

The Bo-ai Campus is located in the core area of Taipei International Metropolis, with a superior geographical location and rich cultural and social resources. It is close to the National Library, the National Taiwan Museum, the National Concert Hall, the National Theater, and Nanhai Academy. It is not only a political and economic center, but also an academic and educational center, providing a vast learning area for teachers and students, with excellent advantages.

The Tianmu Campus is located in the Tianmu area in the northern suburbs of Taipei City, with convenient transportation and rich social resources. Art exhibitions and activities are relatively active, which is most conducive to the development and cultivation of art and leisure talents. At the same time, the Taipei City Government is actively promoting healthy cities, and the extension education courses established by the school are very popular in the community, which not only contributes to the community but also increases students’ ability to interact with others.
