INTRODUCTION

 International Talent Education Center

The Center of International Talent Education serves as the service window for international students at our university. It provides guidance in four key areas: cultural adaptation, academic adjustment, daily life adaptation, and interpersonal relationships.

The center is also responsible for coordinating the university’s international student admissions, including special programs for overseas Chinese students, foreign students, and general admissions.

 

Through activities such as Explore Taiwan trips, local cultural tours, and lectures on cultural differences, the center helps international students gain a deeper understanding of Taiwanese culture.

We also encourage interaction between domestic and international students, and invite senior international students to share their learning experiences.
