National Sun Yat sen University, Taiwan / 台灣國立中山大學

National Sun Yat-sen University, Taiwan 台灣國立中山大學 National Sun Yat-sen University (NSYSU; 國立中山大學) is a public research-intensive university renowned as an official think tank scholars' community, located in Sizihwan, Kaohsiung, Taiwan, and Pratas Island in the South China Sea. NSYSU is listed as one of six national research universities, and one of four universities that make up the Taiwan Comprehensive University System, a research-led university alliance in Taiwan. With AACSB and CFA accredited and the No.1 maritime management program in Asia, the NSYSU College of Management is among the best in East Asia, and the College of Marine Sciences is the oldest and highest ranked in Taiwan. The first national comprehensive university in Southern Taiwan, NSYSU was founded in response to national development needs. The alumni of both the original Sun Yat-sen University and the historical Moscow Sun Yat-sen University also have contributed to the establishment of the university. In the beginning, each the Sun Yat-sen Universities adopted a statism educational model (中山大學模式) based-on Dr. Sun Yat-sen's philosophy. At present, NSYSU is a regular public university, and is famous for its powerful political and commercial relations, its faculty and staff serve as elite bureaucrats and NGO experts to maintain close contact with industry and government officials. The exchange offices of the US Federal government, the Japanese government, and the European Commission are present on the campus. NSYSU usually is ranked among the top 6-7 universities nationally and among the top 400-1000 universities worldwide, it is organized into eight colleges, two National Key Fields colleges, but it also contains a considerable number of research institutes. In 1923, two years before his death, the Founding Father of the Republic of China (ROC), Dr. Sun Yat-sen, established two universities, one civil and one military. The civil university was National Kwangtung University (國立廣東大學, renamed National Sun Yat-sen University in 1926), and the military university was Whampoa Military Academy. Both universities generated remarkable contributions and played an important education role in modern Chinese history. After National Sun Yat-sen University was established in Canton, it was forced south due to the Sino-Japanese War. The university moved first to Yunnan, and later to North Guangdong. Finally, in 1945, the university moved back to and resumed operations at its original campus in Canton. In 1949, the government of the Republic of China moved to Taiwan. Its alumni expected the National Sun Yet-sen University (NSYSU) to be re-established in Taiwan, but appropriate timing didn't occur. In 1970s, as Taiwan's overall economic development took off, also known as the Taiwan Miracle, the community's concern and attention to higher education grew. In order to balance the development of education in the north and south, the government decided to build a comprehensive university in the south. In 1980, after Chiang Ching-kuo, the president of Taiwan and an alumnus of Moscow Sun Yat-sen University in USSR, personally approved the campus design, under the leadership of Dr. Lee Huan (who later served as the Premier and Minister of Education), the university was established in Sizihwan, Kaohsiung City, the second largest metropolitan area in Taiwan. In order to establish the new university, government officials specially visited the United States and Japan and decided that the NSYSU would focus on graduate schools, refer to the medium-sized and advanced technology of California Institute of Technology (Caltech) and the building construction method of the University of California in San Diego (UCSD) that can resist sea wind erosion. As for the management of university library, the system of the University of Tsukuba is introduced. In the first two decades, NSYSU, like each Sun Yat-sen universities, had a nationalist style and mission. When it was re-established, the university had four departments, two graduate institutes, and 189 students. Today, the university has seven colleges (Liberal Arts, Sciences, Engineering, Management, Marine Sciences, Social Sciences, and Si-Wan College) and over 9500 students, offering 18 undergraduate majors, 35 masters programs, and 26 doctoral programs. NSYSU has grown, and is now recognized with international distinction as one of Taiwan's most important research and learning institutions.
