[EduCativ]

TPCU is located on the Guandu Plain at the foot of Datun Mountain. The school, picturesque as it appears, harbors a panoramic view of Taipei's magnificent scenery, including attractions such as Taipei 101, the Mount Guanyin, and the Tamsui River. Surrounded by mountains and rivers, TPCU has made itself a distinguished university to cultivate elites. It has also become the ideal university for students because of its academic excellence.
TPCU contains three colleges: the College of Engineering, the College of Business and Management, and the College of Human Ecology. The school's academic programs include master's degree programs, four-year and two-year undergraduate programs, five-year and two-year junior college programs, and the programs of the Night Division for Continuing Education.
The abiding teaching principle of TPCU is "one diploma, two languages, three awards, and four certificates." What makes our teaching principle unique is that TPCU graduates obtain specialized knowledge and certificates exclusively in addition to one diploma shared by graduates nationwide. First, TPCU graduates will receive a diploma from the Ministry of Education and have a good command of "two languages," Chinese and English. TPCU endeavors to enhance students' Chinese writing ability and English speaking and listening proficiency for their workplace competitiveness. Second, by "three national awards," TPCU aims to consolidate the value of innovation. The school encourages students' innovative experiments, their participation in national contests of inventions, and their application for official patents.
Meanwhile, TPCU also emphasizes the cultivation of students' virtues and their respect for teachers. Students are asked to strive for the award of virtues hoping that they are endowed with professional expertise and moral excellence. Finally, by "four national certificates," TPCU stresses primary education and professional training reinforcement. Each department chooses students with a specific certificate to reinforce students' technical competence in industries each school year.
To rise to new challenges of a new era, we will abide by the principle of "Education Based on Love" as well as the motto of TPCU, "Loyalty, Trust, Sincerity, and Respect." Besides, we also stick to the all-round teaching policy of maintaining the balance between techno-science and humanities, between pragmatism and theories. We will lead all the faculty and students for a more promising future as TPCU finds itself standing conspicuously on the Guandu Plain and makes itself a university of academic excellence in the world.
