Yuan Ze University (YZU) is a private non-profit institution with strong industrial linkage, since it was founded by the Far Eastern Group, a big conglomerate of over 250 companies across 10 industries. YZU was the first university to win the National Quality Award for its educational quality in 2003, and it was chosen by the Ministry of Education in 2006 as one of the 12 top universities in Taiwan.
As the first bilingual university in Taiwan, YZU offers English programs in all 5 colleges including Engineering, Informatics, Management, Humanities and Social Sciences, and Electrical and Communications Engineering. In our campus, there are over 9,000 (66% undergraduate and 34% graduate) students with nearly 10% are international students. The College of Management has established the first EBBA program in Taiwan and all the courses in the Graduate School of Management are conducted in English to further educate our students to become global talents. The College of Informatics is the first college in Taiwan to adopt information as the core of its teaching and research and emphasize practical experience and leading technologies such as big data and artificial intelligence (AI). The College of Humanities and Social Sciences is working closely with our College of General Studies to promote teaching and research in humanities, general education, and ethics.
Aimed at housing key research centers in Taiwan, we established 8 high-quality research centers. Our Fuel Cell Center and Communications Research Centers have integrated all resources and recruited talents in all engineering-related departments at YZU through support from the Top Universities Project. With the success of these centers, YZU also places a heavy focus on the promotion of overall teaching and research knowledge to public.
