The National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University School of Law ("NYCU Law") is a postgraduate law school located on the campus of National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University in Hsinchu, Taiwan. NYCU Law began as the "Intellectual Property Management" Program in 1993, and then the Institute of Technology Law ("ITL") in 2000. The ITL was transformed into the National Chiao Tung University School of Law in 2015. In February 2021, because of the combination of National Yang-Ming University and National Chiao Tung University, the National Chiao Tung University School of Law was renamed the National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University School of Law. Its programs award advanced degrees including master's degrees as well as doctorate degrees. It is a postgraduate professional school, aiming to provide legal training for students already having bachelor's or more advanced degrees, and focuses on a cross-disciplinary legal education environment. Of note, NYCU Law stands out as one of the few law schools in Taiwan that teaches Anglo-American common law systems, alongside traditional civil law systems. Student body As a result of providing courses focusing on inter-disciplinary needs, as well as an emphasis on intellectual property right laws and the American common law system, NYCU Law hosts a more diverse student body than most of the traditional law schools or departments in Taiwan, where the mainstream has been awarding bachelor's degrees in law and accepting only those with a prior law degree into more advanced legal programs. NYCU Law recruits students with a legal educational background, such as those with a first or more advanced law degree, and also students from other academical disciplines, such as literature, science, or engineering. NYCU Law accepts full-time students and part-time students, among which include those in the legal professions such as judges, prosecutors, lawyers, and counsels who seek more advanced study, and those with technical backgrounds including engineers, salespersons, and businesspersons, a lot of them being from corporations from the nearby Hsinchu Science Park, who intend to acquire knowledge of law. Faculty The faculty at NYCU Law are contributors throughout the world in a broad range of scholarly fields, including the advancement of legal education. The NYCU School of Law has 14 full-time faculty members and a diverse body of adjunct faculty consisting of experienced judges, prosecutors, attorneys, and entrepreneurs. Together, the faculty provides a full spectrum of learning opportunities for students. NYCU Law Review The NYCU Law Review
