History of the Office

Our university, upholding the principle of interdisciplinary integration and promoting integrated group research projects, reorganized the former Office of Technical Cooperation into the Office of Research and Development (ORD) on August 1, 2003.

To enhance international and cross-strait collaboration, the Division of International and Cross-Strait Affairs was established in August 2013.

On August 1, 2014, the Innovation Incubation Center was reassigned under the Office of Industry-Academia Collaboration and Continuing Education.

On August 1, 2018, following an organizational restructuring, the Innovation Incubation Center and the Center for Industry-Academia Collaboration and Continuing Education were merged into the Office of Research and Development.

NUU spent NT$4 billion to build 28 entirely new buildings and install modern teaching equipment on the Bajia Campus, which officially opened in 2014. The Bajia Campus features beautiful landscapes and is ten times larger than the former Erpingshan Campus. Facilities include: Physical Fitness Center, the New Guoding Library, Li Maozong Pottery and Carving Art Space, Sound Museum, energy-saving Green Computer Rooms, an NBA-standard Indoor Basketball Court, Baseball and Softball Fields, a National Standard Track and Field Stadium, multi-function Remote Video Classrooms, Dormitories, Student Centers with amenities, and Restaurants. On such a high-quality campus, students enjoy a rich and diverse college life.

NUU has two campuses: Erpingshan and Bajia, located 2.6 kilometers apart. To provide a safe, convenient, and comfortable college life, NUU offers free shuttle buses between the two campuses for both faculty and students.

Convenient Transportation

NUU is only a 5-minute drive from the interchange of National Freeway No. 1 and a 10-minute drive from Freeway No. 3. It takes about 30 minutes to drive from Taichung or Hsinchu. The high-speed rail from Taipei to Miaoli takes only 44 minutes, and from Zuoying (Kaohsiung) only 85 minutes. Shuttle buses run directly to the campus from both Miaoli High-Speed Rail Station and the local railway station, ensuring safe and convenient transportation for students commuting from different areas.
