Established in 1958, the College of Science consists of three departments: Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry. It is one of the oldest colleges in Tamkang and one of the first-established colleges among private universities in Taiwan. The departments of Chemistry and Mathematics were set up in 1958; while the Department of Physics was inaugurated in 1963. In order to promote material and bio-technology research at Tamkang University, two additional research centers were set up: the Nanotechnology Center and the Life Science Development Center, both of which were established in 2003. These centers have been offered special grants by TKU that enable the centers to manage their core research facilities and meet their research-based objectives.
