Ntioanl Taiwan Normal University Academy of Preparatory Programs for Overseas Compatriot Students (NUPS)
If you miss the “Individual Application” and “Joint Admission”, or if your placement results do not meet the entry requirements for your desired university, you can enroll in preparatory courses through the Preparatory Programs for Overseas Compatriot Students (referred to as Academy of Preparatory Programs for Overseas Compatriot Students) of National Taiwan Normal University. The Academy of Preparatory Programs for Overseas Compatriot Students is the only institution in Taiwan that provides university preparatory education for overseas Chinese students. The program is designed to help students complete their preparatory education and strengthen their core academic skills, ensuring a solid foundation for future university coursework. Upon completion, students are placed into various universities across Taiwan based on their graduation results.
Applicants may choose to join the “Indonesian Preparatory Program”. Upon completion of the program, students take an exit examination covering three subjects: Chinese, English, and Mathematics (regardless of the chosen academic track).
The results of this exit examination serve as the primary score for Joint Placement. Students are then placed into universities based on their score ranking (from highest to lowest), their listed preferences, and the available quotas approved by the Ministry of Education.
