NTUA – Taiwan

Formerly the "National Arts School", founded in 1955, it was modernised in 1994. In 2001, it became the National Taiwan University of Arts" (NTUA).
The development of NTUA in past five decades is equivalent to a modern history of the arts in Taiwan. With its long history and specialized disciplines, NTUA virtually holds the key educational position in the visual arts in Taiwan, not only providing the society with an all-encompassing environment of art creation, but also fostering numerous outstanding talents who produce unusually brilliant works in the various fields of the arts.
Pre-eminent alumni of NTUA are too numerous to mention. Among them are many famous musicians, artists, designers, and directors, such as Ang Lee, the winner of Best Achievement in Directing at the 78th Academy Awards. Their outstanding performances not only honor their alma mater, but also show the positive results achieved by NTUA in arts education.
