NPUST is an excellent place that provides a comprehensive teaching-learning community for our faculty and students.

In the past 5 years, academic research achievements at NPUST have been distinguished as being among the top 15 universities on the accumulated scores of impact factor weights based on the WOS journals in the fields of agriculture sciences and ecology and environment sciences. NPUST is also on the list of the top 15 universities in total publication numbers and citation frequencies in the fields of agriculture sciences, plant and animal sciences, immunology and microbiology, ecology and environment sciences, and earth sciences. The achievements are exceptional. Recently, NPUST has successively been awarded funding for the “Program for Promoting Academic Excellence of Universities” by the Ministry of Education for several years. NPUST has utilized this funding to devote herself to create an even better educational and learning environment, and to continue to promote instructors’ teaching quality and students’ learning achievement in order to achieve our goal of endowing graduates with “holistic”, “professional”, and “international” frames of mind.
