On the 1st of November 2016, NTHU merged with the National Hsinchu University of Education (NHCUE). NTHU is located in Hsinchu, a city 72 kilometers south of Taipei. The campus covers an area over 120.1678 hectares (296.94184 acres) of scenic land and is strategically situated among many prestigious research institutes and universities such as: the Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI), National Synchrotron Radiation Research Center, National Center for High-Performance Computing, Food Industry Research and Development Institute, National Chiao Tung University, Chung Hua University, and the Hsinchu Science-Based Industrial Park.
