To expand recruitment opportunities for overseas Chinese and international students, the Ministry of Education has implemented a diverse admissions policy, allowing individual universities to conduct their own Independent Admission. However, to maintain administrative order and prevent double enrollment, the following rules apply: applicants already accepted through the first stage of a university’s Independent Admissions will no longer be processed or placed by the University Entrance Committee For Overseas Compatriot Students Joint Placement system; applicants who have already been placed through the Joint Placement system are ineligible to participate in the second stage of Independent Admissions for results announced after August 1st.

In order to expand the recruitment of overseas Chinese and international students in an orderly and stable manner while encouraging top talent to seek employment in Taiwan, the Ministry of Education has assisted universities in establishing “International Foundation Programs.” These programs recruit students in six key industry sectors, including manufacturing, construction, agriculture, long-term care, e-commerce (including information processing) and services industries. Students take 1 year of intensive Mandarin Chinese study. Once they reach Level A2 (TOCFL) proficiency, they officially enter their chosen professional degree program. The curriculum is tailored to current industry demands and may include off-campus internships. The program provides comprehensive guidance for both academic learning and daily life in Taiwan.

Currently, admission slots are available through “Individual Application” provided by University Entrance Committee For Overseas Compatriot Students, and “Independent Admissions” conducted by individual universities (open to Overseas Chinese, Hong Kong/Macau students, and International students).

—Applicable target: Those who have special performance in school, excellent skills, or have been recommended by teachers.

– Application method: Fill in up to 4 applications and submit review materials according to the regulations of each department.

– Distribution principle: Those who pass the review will be distributed according to “qualified order + volunteer order + quota”;

– Those who are not admitted: Those who are not admitted will be directly distributed jointly and distributed in accordance with the applicable brochures.

The “Joint Admission” process follows a standardized procedure to ensure fairness across different regions. The University Entrance Committee For Overseas Compatriot Students verifies and converts academic results based on the specific Admissions Brochures of the applicant’s country of residence and the “Detailed Rules for Score Calculation and Placement Operations.”

Admission is granted based on a “merit-based” system following these three primary criteria:

• Ranked Scores: Applicants are sorted from highest to lowest based on their converted scores.
• Order of Preference: The system identifies the highest-ranked preference available for each student.
• Approved Quotas: Placements are limited by the total number of slots allocated to each department by the Ministry of Education.
