[11] The Research Center for Psychological and Educational Testing (RCPET) at NTNU is responsible for organizing Taiwan's annual Comprehensive Assessment Program for Junior High School Students (CAP).

[13] Mandarin Training Center (MTC) is the oldest and the largest Chinese language teaching institution in Taiwan.

The school's purpose was to nurture a native educated class qualified to assist the government in matters of administration.

A room in the Lecture Hall housed the traditional Japanese document that authorizes and formalizes campus construction.

A number of Taiwan's leading authors, poets, artists, educators, painters, musicians, linguists, sinologists, philologists, philosophers, and researchers have passed through the university's doors as students and faculty.

By now the school had established itself as a recognized center of learning in arts, literature and the humanities; its fundamental mission, though, remained the preparation of teachers.

As Taiwanese society made its shift from authoritarian rule to democracy in the 1990s, the university saw its role transformed by passage of the 1994 Teacher Preparation Law.

The law gave more schools responsibility for teacher training and set NTNU on its present course as a truly comprehensive university.

[11] NTNU's main campus is located in the heart of Taipei, adjacent to the culturally rich and artistic atmosphere of the Yongkang Street Area, and within walking distance are famous attractions such as Daan Forest Park, Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall, Taipei Grand Mosque, Mongolian & Tibetan Cultural Center, etc.

Due to the merger with the National University of Preparatory School for Overseas Chinese Students (NUPS), NTNU also inherited some land from the original Luzhou Campus in New Taipei City.

NTNU obtained the sole license from the Louvre Museum in 1987 and purchased a batch of officially copyrighted original plaster replica statues.

[18] The NTNU emblem consists of a circle formed by six wooden bells, symbolizing collective progress and collaborative efforts to achieve "perfection" in education.

[19] The official school tree of NTNU is the Cassia fistula, chosen because its appearance resembles the traditional teaching whip from ancient times.

Teaching affairs, teacher recruitment, placement exams, and other tasks are always overseen by the French nationality of director of the courses.

[32] The Research Center for Psychological and Educational Testing (RCPET) is responsible for organizing Taiwan's annual Comprehensive Assessment Program for Junior High School Students (CAP).

[36] NTNU hosts the Asia Pacific Regional Center (APRC) for the Global Environmental Education Partnership (GEEP).

[38] NTNU joined forces with NVIDIA and GIGABYTE, to jointly create "Meta-Universe Motion Capture Laboratory" and collaboration space.

[39] NTNU is the only university member state to join the “Infrared and Raman Users Group” (IRUG) in Taiwan.

TCS Experimental Education institution is set up in NTNU's Lingkou Campus, and graduates are awarded diplomas from Taiwan and BC, Canada.

[47] NTNU's connections in the Asia-Pacific region are particularly extensive, including dozens of academic institutions representing South Korea, Japan, Singapore, Thailand, Australia, and New Zealand.

The Mandarin Training Center represents one of the world's oldest and most distinguished programs for language study, attracting more than a thousand students from over sixty countries to Taiwan each year and making the Shida area of Taipei one of the city's most cosmopolitan.

The center also sponsors travel, hosts speech contests, and stages workshops and performances for a variety of East Asian arts.

The school served as the sole pathway for Taiwanese students during the Japanese colonial era to enter universities for further studies.

NTNU has long been recognized as one of Taiwan’s elite institutions of higher education, especially in the field of humanities and social sciences.

[81] Internationally, there are 21 alumni chapters located in North America (such as Washington, California, Texas, New England, the East Coast, the Midwest, Eastern Canada, and British Columbia), Hong Kong, Macau, mainland China, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, and other regions.

The word normal in the school's name perpetuates an English usage of the term that, if archaic in some countries, remains common in Asia.
