The National Taiwan University (NTU) was originally founded in 1928 by the Japanese colonial administration. The university currently has 11 colleges, with 54 departments and 103 graduate institutes, as well as 4 university-level research centers: Population and Gender Studies Center, Center for Condensed Matter Sciences, Center for Biotechnology, and Bio-diversity Research Center.  The total number of students, including those enrolled at the School of Professional and Continuing Studies, has grown to over 33,000, including over 17,000 undegraduate students and 15,000 graduate students. Currently, the number of graduate students at NTU almost equals the number of university students, which indicates that NTU has successfully been transformed into a prestigious research university.
