Asia University (AU) is a visionary, pioneering, and fast-growing school, and was founded with the goal of establishing a remarkable and comprehensive university with international competitiveness. Karl Jaspers, a German philosopher, believed that an ideal university must have three features- academic teaching, scientific research, and a creative cultural life, which exactly are what we have been pursuing for years since the establishment of the school.
In the past of 14 years, AU has demonstrated excellence in academic performance, and was ranked as the first in many higher education evaluations conducted by the Ministry of Education (MOE). It was not only evaluated as the best among newly-established universities in Taiwan, but also granted honored projects from the MOE, the so-called Program for Promoting Teaching Excellence Universities, for 10 years consecutively. Meanwhile, AU has earned international reputation by several world university rankings. For example, according to the Times Higher Education BRICS & Emerging Economies Rankings 2014, AU was ranked the 53rd among the top 100 universities. Furthermore, AU was evaluated as the 99th in the 100 best universities under 50 years in the world, and the 83th among the top 100 universities in Asia also by the Times Higher Education Ranking.
