About this guide
What Education.taipei covers, how it names things, where its facts come from, and the position from which it is written.
Scope 範圍
Education.taipei is a field guide to the present state of learning in Taipei: its universities and their campuses, the twelve-year school system, the study districts, the cram-street culture, the museums and libraries that do the teaching after hours, and the community universities that keep adults in classrooms. The guide is contemporary by design — it describes what is, not what was.
Naming conventions 校名縮寫
Universities appear under their common academic abbreviations — NTU, NTNU, NTUST, NTUT, NCCU, UTaipei, NTUE, TNUA, SCU, MCU, SHU, PCCU, TTU, TMU and Shih Chien University — each paired with its Chinese name as a visual anchor. Where a full institutional name would add no clarity, the abbreviation alone carries the reference, as in an academic paper.
Institutional names are used factually, for identification only. This guide is an independent publication, not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to any institution, agency or government body. No institutional emblem, crest or logotype is reproduced anywhere on this site.
Facts 事實核查
Every founding year, campus location, enrolment band and policy name in this guide is checked against official and public sources — institutional websites, city publications and the current statutory framework — before publication. Where a number is genuinely in flux (mergers, re-brandings, policy phases), the guide says so instead of pinning it down.
Independence 獨立聲明
This guide is an independent editorial compilation. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to any official body, school or institution. Institutional names appear for factual identification only.
