Beautiful environment

Fo Guang University is the first traditional academy-style university with modern significance in the country. Founded by Venerable Master Hsing Yun of Fo Guang Shan, it is also the first university in the Lanyang area. The campus is located on the mountain in Linmei Village, Jiaoxi Township, Yilan County, at an altitude of approximately 430 meters, offering a panoramic view of the vast Lanyang Plain and Turtle Island in the outer sea.

The spiritual energy of the mountains and rivers on campus, the simple classroom equipment, the small class teaching system, and the best teacher-student ratio in the country create the best learning environment for you.

International exchange activities

The five universities founded internationally by Fo Guang Shan, including Fo Guang University in Yilan, Nanhua University in Chiayi, University of the West in the United States, Nan Tien Institute in Australia, and Guang Ming College in the Philippines, have formed the “Fo Guang Shan System University”, sharing resources and facilitating frequent academic exchanges between teachers and students.

Fo Guang University places special emphasis on students broadening their international horizons and has signed academic exchange agreements with nearly 200 internationally renowned universities, encouraging undergraduates to have at least one short-term or semester-long overseas exchange, study exchange, or even study abroad opportunity during their time at the university. The related international exchange expenses are partially subsidized by Fo Guang Shan.

Currently, there are overseas internship programs in Australia, Japan, Thailand, the Philippines, etc. There are summer camps in mainland China and the United States during the summer vacation. Each semester, there are also exchange study opportunities to sister schools in mainland China, South Korea, and the United States.
