National Taipei University of Business (NTUB)

Taipei Main Campus

Taoyuan Campus

Founded in 1917, National Taipei University of Business (NTUB) is one of the most

prestigious universities in Taiwan, dedicated to providing the best business

education to students from all over the world. NTUB has been an important part of

the economic development in Taiwan. NTUB cooperates closely with not only

companies in Taiwan but also many intuitions abroad.

NTUB is situated right in the heart of Taipei City, a thriving and bustling national

capital. The Taoyuan campus, located in Pingzhen City, is separated from the main

campus by just a short journey via expressway, making travel between the two quick

and easy.

NTUB students are encouraged to take a diverse range of approaches to studying

8

and to thinking creatively. This has led NTUB to receive numerous awards in both

national and international vocational competitions.

Taipei, Taiwan

Taipei, 臺北市 or台北市, is the capital city and a special municipality of Taiwan.

The cultural kaleidoscope of Taiwan's capital city pulses wherever you go. Incense-

veiled temples dating back to dynastic times blend seamlessly with a neon street life

of a decidedly more modern era. If the tourists want to feel the traditional Asian

culture and modern city in the same time, then stop in Taipei!

The polarities of Taipei are vividly present with the joining of the urban and natural

worlds. Just a few minutes away from the heart of the city, you can reach the

mineral-rich hot springs nestled in the lush mountain foothills ringing the Taipei

Basin. And throughout the city there are plenty of trails, parks, and other oases of

tranquility to lift and invigorate your spirits.

Taipei has dozens of world-class restaurants where gourmets can sample the best

regional Chinese cuisines; and there are plenty of night markets serving up

scrumptious evening snacks in an environment of chaotic excitement and fun. Try all

the delicacies in Taipei and enjoy the stay!
