Soochow University

Soochow University is on the cultural axis of Taipei City. Near the National Palace Museum, among lush green hills and a clear stream flowing by, the Waishuanghsi Campus presents a spectacular view and offers the students a superior study environment. On this campus are the School of Arts & Social Sciences, the School of Foreign Languages and Cultures, and the School of Science.

The School of Law, the School of Business and the Extension School are on the Downtown Campus, in the administrative and commercial center of Taipei. Due to the convenience of transportation, professionals are easily accessible there, and the faculty and students can utilize in their academic work the rich resources offered by adjacent administrative and commercial institutions and libraries. Transportation between the two campuses is convenient. Both campuses have their own unique cultural and academic resources and distinctive environments.

Looking into the future, the university will make every effort in becoming a first-class university which provides academic instruction and aims to produce graduates — the backbone of the future society — who have creativity, wide fields of vision and the ability to integrate themselves into an international community. In order to achieve this aim, the university has set up an eight-point school development plan. With the wholehearted encouragement of the Board of Trustees and the concerted efforts of faculty, students and staff, this plan will greatly enhance the competitiveness of the school among all institutions of higher education.
