National Sun Yat-sen University (NSYSU; Chinese: 國立中山大學; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Kok-li̍p-tiong-san-tāi-ha̍k) is a public research university located in Sizihwan, Kaohsiung, Taiwan. NSYSU is listed as one of six national research universities,[3][4] and one of four universities that make up the Taiwan Comprehensive University System, a research-led university alliance in Taiwan.

The first national comprehensive university in Southern Taiwan,[5] NSYSU was founded in response to national development needs. The alumni of both the original Sun Yat-sen University and the historical Moscow Sun Yat-sen University also have contributed to the establishment of the university. In the beginning, each of the Sun Yat-sen Universities adopted a statism educational model (中山大學模式) based-on Dr. Sun Yat-sen's philosophy.[6] At present, NSYSU is a regular public university, and known for its political and commercial relations,[7] its faculty and staff serve as bureaucrats and NGO experts to maintain close contact with industry and government officials.[7] NSYSU hosts the European Union Centre, America Center, and the Center for Japanese Studies.[8][9][10]

It is organized into eight colleges, two National Key Fields colleges, but it also contains a considerable number of research institutes.[11]
