National Taipei University of Technology (Taipei Tech; Chinese: 國立臺北科技大學; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Kok-li̍p Tâi-pak Kho-ki Tāi-ha̍k) is a public university in Taipei, Taiwan. It is a member of the Global Research & Industry Alliance (Gloria) of the Ministry of Science and Technology [3] and accredited by AACSB. [4] Located in the Daan district of Taipei, the school was established in 1912 as the School of Industrial Instruction, one of the earliest intermediate-higher educational institutions in Taiwan.
The current president of the university is Sea-Fue Wang. The university is part of the University System of Taipei, along with National Taipei University and Taipei Medical University. Its comprehensive undergraduate and graduate programs offer degrees in the STEM fields as well as design, architecture, management, humanities, and social sciences.
The 495-acre campus in downtown Taipei was divided into three sections during the city's development. The main campus (West, East, and South) in Taipei now only spans 22 acres, next to the affluent Huashan 1914 Creative Park and the Guang Hua neighborhood, an area known as the Electric Town of Taipei due to the computer goods and electronics stores.
Taipei Tech is generally considered a top-tier university in Taiwan, ranking in the Top 5% of all Taiwanese universities, based on the QS World University Rankings and Times Higher Education. It ranks 425th globally in QS 2025, making it the 6th best university in Taiwan. [5] It is also a part of the University Academic Alliance in Taiwan or UAAT, composed of the Top 12 academic institutions in Taiwan chosen by the Ministry of Education (Taiwan) in 2023, along with National Taiwan University, National Cheng Kung University, National Tsing Hua University, National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University, National Taiwan University of Science and Technology, National Taiwan Normal University, National Sun Yat-sen University, Taipei Medical University, National Chengchi University, National Central University, and National Chung Hsing University. [6]
The university was established as the School of Industrial Instruction (工業講習所; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Kang-gia̍p Káng-si̍p-só͘) in 1912. The institution underwent several name changes and reorganizations during the Japanese colonial period in Taiwan. After the ( Nationalist) Republic of China central government settled in Taiwan as an outcome of the war against the Communist regime, the institution was renamed Provincial Taipei Institute of Technology (臺灣省立臺北工業專科學校) in 1948 and served as a vocational technical college. In 1981, it was renamed National Taipei Institute of Technology (國立臺北工業專科學校). In the 1990s its status was upgraded to that of a university, resulting in its name change to National Taipei University of Technology (國立臺北科技大學) in 1997.
