National Chengchi University (Chinese: 國立政治大學; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Kok-li̍p Chèng-tī Tāi-ha̍k; lit. 'National Political Science University') is a public research university in Taipei. The university is also considered as the earliest public service training facility of the Republic of China. First established in Nanjing in 1927, the university was subsequently relocated to Taipei in 1954.

The university, abbreviated as NCCU, specializes in

international affairs.[9][10] It is the only publicly-funded university in Taiwan to provide courses in journalism, advertising, radio and television, diplomacy, and several languages that are not taught at other institutions in Taiwan. The name Chengchi (政治) means governance or politics, and refers to its founding in 1927 as a training institution for senior civil servants for the Nanjing Nationalist government of the Republic of China. The university has strong ties with academic institutions like Academia Sinica, National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University, National Taiwan University and the National Palace Museum.[11][12]

The NCCU is also a member of the University System of Taiwan and University Alliance in Talent Education Development (UAiTED) .[13][2]

History

Heritage Campus Gate of National Central University of Governance in Nanjing
Campus Gate of National Chengchi University in Taipei

The school was established in 1927 in

Three People's Principles in Chongqing. The merged school was named the National Central University of Governance, based in Nanjing. When the Nationalist government
lost control of mainland China in 1949, the university's activities were suspended.

The university was reopened in 1954 as National Chengchi University in Taipei by the Executive Yuan, in order to meet the needs of civil service and the growing demands of higher education in Taiwan. Initially only graduate students were admitted, later in 1955, the school started to offer places to undergraduate students. In 1960, the university awarded the very first Doctor of Juridical Science degree in the Republic of China. In 1964, the school initiated the first-ever Mandarin-based Chinese Master of Business Administration program in the world.

Traditionally, as a modern institution training for public servants, NCCU is considered one of the leading institutions of the

Ministry of Education
.

In 2014, the Embassy of Japan in Taiwan listed NCCU as one of the seven well-known Taiwanese universities.[15]

In December 2019, NCCU established its first overseas office in Bangkok, Thailand.[16] In 2023, NCCU became the first public university in Taiwan to open co-educational dorms.[17]
