The university has three major campuses in Taipei and hosts satellite campuses across the country, enrolling more than 16,000 undergraduates, 12,000 postgraduates, and 3,000 doctoral students. It offers over 200 degree programs and consists of 16 colleges which are divided into 56 departments,[6] 111 research institutes,[7] and more than 50 other national research centers, including National Taiwan University Hospital.[8] In 2015, NTU formed a university system with the National Taiwan University of Science and Technology and National Taiwan Normal University.
