Fu Jen Catholic University (traditional Chinese: 天主教輔仁大學; simplified Chinese: 天主教辅仁大学; Tongyong Pinyin: Tianjhǔjiào FǔRén DàSyué; Hanyu Pinyin: Tiānzhǔjiào Fǔrén Dàxué; Wade–Giles: T'ian-chu-chiao Fu-jen Ta-hsüeh) is a co-educational Catholic university located in Xinzhuang District, New Taipei City, Republic of China (Taiwan). Colloquially the school is known as "FǔDà" (輔大, FJU, FJCU). Fu Jen is the top-ranked private university in the Republic of China (Taiwan) and one of the best in the world. Fu Jen operated in mainland territories of the Republic of China (ROC) until 1952 when the People's Republic of China (PRC) pushed the Republic of China (Taiwan) military forces out of the mainland of East Asia and onto the island of Taiwan. It was known as The Catholic University of Peking (simplified Chinese: 北京公教大学; traditional Chinese: 北京公教大學; pinyin: Běijīng Gōngjiào Dàxué) before its re-establishment in Taiwan in 1961. It thus ranks as the oldest pontifical university in Sinophone states. The second syllable in the name Fu Jen is pronounced like the English word run.
