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.
National Taiwan Normal University Overseas Chinese Student Preparatory Department
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.
International Specialization Department in key industrial fields
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).
International Industrial Talent Education Class (Dual Bachelor's, Two-year Bachelor's, Post-Bachelor's, Master's, Doctoral)
The International Industrial Talents Education Special Program (INTENSE) is open to global enrollment and offers dual degree bachelor, two-year bachelors, post-baccalaureate, masters and doctoral programs. The curriculum is co-produced by the school and the enterprise, focusing on key sectors such as STEM, finance, and semiconductors, bridging internships and employment.
The Taiwan government provides up to NT$100,000 per year (for a maximum of 2 years) and a one-time round-trip airfare, and participating companies provides a monthly living allowance of at least NT$10,000. After graduation, students are required to work in Taiwan according to regulations, providing a direct pathway to a career in Taiwan’s leading industries.
