Since the 2005-2006 academic year, NTU has NOT increased tuition and fees for over twenty years, despite the rising costs of utilities, postage, and the purchase or maintenance of books and equipment. There has also been a reduction in government grants to the university. While the Ministry of Education Republic of China (Taiwan) allows for adjustments in tuition and fees, NTU has chosen NOT to do so in light of the prevailing economic conditions. The increased costs are being managed through fundraising and the implementation of various cost saving measures to ensure the maintenance of essential administrative operations and a satisfactory level of teaching quality. At the present time, there is no scope for a reduction in the tuition and fees. Should you have any inquiries, please contact the responsible unit, the Secretariat of Academic Affairs, via Mr. Chen at 02-33662388 ext. 105.
