📖 Introduction
Asia University is a university in Wufeng District, Taichung, Taiwan. Founded in 2001, it offers education for degrees in health and medical science, computer science and electrical engineering, creative design, management, and humanities and social sciences. In the past 20 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 evaluated as the best among newly established universities in Taiwan and granted honored projects from the MOE, the so-called Program for Promoting Teaching Excellence Universities, for 12 years consecutively.
As a comprehensive university, AU also centers on creating an aesthetic campus and cultural atmosphere. Specifically, AU offers a space for teaching, research, and creation by inviting the world-renowned architect, Tadao Ando, to design the Asia Museum of Modern Art in 2007, which was officially opened in 2013. As a legendary landmark in central Taiwan, the museum turns to be a venue for world-class exhibitions and an interacting platform for artists from local and abroad, which becomes a leading role in the cultural and creative industry in Taiwan. In addition, we encourage students to submit their works to the international design competition and invention fairs. For instance, the university's students have won 99 RedDot Awards, including 16 Best-of-the-Best and 11 iF Awards, 2 G-Mark International Design Awards, plus 117 gold, 143 silver and 101 bronze medals, 41 Special Awards, 2 Grand Prizes, 1 Semi-grand Prize and 3 International Highest Awards in famous international design and invention contests.
