Taipei University of Marine Technology, Maritime college and private university in Shilin District and Tamsui, Taiwan.
Taipei University of Marine Technology is a private maritime college with locations in Shilin District and Tamsui in Taiwan. The facility offers specialized programs in navigation, shipping management, fisheries, and marine engineering across its two separate campuses.
The college was founded in 1966 as China Maritime College and went through several name changes over the decades. It gained its current name after expanding its academic offerings and becoming a full technical university.
The institution's name reflects its focus on connecting the capital with Taiwan's seafaring traditions and modern shipping industries. Students work with real navigation equipment and participate in water-based training exercises as part of their daily routines.
The two campuses sit in different districts and each offers distinct facilities for students of marine subjects. Visitors should check in advance which location serves their purpose, as academic departments are divided between both sites.
The college operates its own wharf where students train under real conditions with vessels and docking procedures. Of the more than 5500 enrolled students, around 150 come from other countries, bringing an international dimension to campus life.
