What if I told you that Tamkang University started as a humble English college? Right in front of you stands Taiwan’s oldest private institution of higher learning: Tamkang University. Founded in 1950, it began as a junior college of English, a far cry from the sprawling multi-campus university it is today. Over the years, Tamkang University blossomed from a junior college into a full-fledged university in 1980. Now, it boasts eleven colleges and a diverse student body of over 28,000 students from 50 nationalities. The university even has partnerships with over 100 sister universities across the globe. But Tamkang University isn’t just about impressive numbers. It’s about fostering a spirit of perseverance and achievement, reflected in its motto: “Simplicity, Truthfulness, Firmness, and Perseverance”. As you explore the campus, you’ll notice architectural styles that blend Eastern and Western motifs.
