Guidance mechanisms and dormitory provision for Hong Kong and Macao students
Regarding the care of new students entering the school and living, the seniors of the International and Overseas Chinese Student Association and the Student Affairs Office’s Life Counseling Section assist new students in handling admission-related matters. For dormitory matters, accommodation is guaranteed for Hong Kong, Macao, and overseas Chinese students.
At the beginning of each semester, the Student Affairs Office’s Life Counseling Section coordinates with various units to assist in the reception and counseling of Hong Kong, Macao, and overseas Chinese students. The Student Affairs Office also organizes fellowship activities for Hong Kong, Macao, and overseas Chinese students during the academic year to enhance the relationship between teachers and students and between students, making interactions more harmonious. The Life Counseling Section and the International Affairs Center of the Office of Research and Development assist in handling matters such as health insurance, medical insurance, residence applications, entry and exit procedures, and applications for scholarships and activity subsidies from the Overseas Community Affairs Council and the Ministry of Education.
International Exchange and Cooperation
Strengthen cooperation agreements for exchange students and dual degree programs with foreign universities, provide students with overseas learning experiences, expand students’ international horizons, and enhance students’ learning motivation and learning effectiveness. The university has signed exchange and study agreements with many universities in Japan, South Korea, the United States, Russia, and mainland China to increase students’ off-campus and overseas learning opportunities. To date, approximately one hundred exchange/study students and dual-degree students have been selected to study at sister schools for one academic year (semester) or two academic years.
In order to promote faculty exchange, improve teaching quality, promote international academic research and teaching institution exchange, and cultivate students’ international macro vision, the “Overseas Off-site Teaching Program” is planned and promoted. Through cooperation with overseas sister schools, the school serves as the main teaching field, and the courses adopt a co-teaching method to strengthen students’ international exchange learning experience.

Featured courses
The Interdisciplinary Bachelor’s Program is based on the university’s ongoing promotion of the “Green International University,” incorporating the “humanities and social sciences” literacy, as well as the two major knowledge areas of “sustainable development” and “green production” in scientific applications as the main development goals. Through diversified learning, it cultivates interdisciplinary talents and strengthens students’ adaptive development.
The curriculum is divided into “General Education Courses (28 credits),” “Undecided Major Common Courses (30 credits),” “Departmental Expertise Courses (50 credits),” and “Free Elective Courses (20 credits).” Students in this program can take major or program expertise courses in any department of the “College of Humanities,” “Teachers College,” and “College of Science and Engineering” according to their personal interests, and the major expertise will be noted on the graduation certificate.

In terms of curriculum, students have more autonomy, and in terms of future career, they have more diverse learning and development opportunities. In the second semester of their senior year, they can choose a full-semester internship, so that theory and practical experience are equally important, and cultivate the knowledge and skills needed for future career development.
