Introduction


Founded in 1987, it is the leading comprehensive private university in Taiwan, with the College of Medicine, College of Engineering, College of Management, and School of Intelligent Computing. It takes about 25 minutes to get to the airport and Taipei City. CGU was founded by Formosa Plastics Group, which owns more than a hundred related companies such as Formosa Plastics and Nanya, and the largest medical system in Taiwan: Chang Gung Medical System, which is one of the largest private enterprises in Taiwan.

Teaching Quality and International Reputation

CGU emphasizes learning quality, with a student-faculty ratio of 1:8 in the undergraduate program. It has achieved excellent results in various world university rankings, such as being ranked 456th in the “Shanghai ARWU World University Academic Ranking (2021)”, the first among private comprehensive universities in Taiwan, and also ranked 239th globally and second in Taiwan in the “Leiden World University Scientific Influence Ranking”, second only to NTU.

CGU is run by Formosa Plastics Group. It develops top-notch characteristic research centers based on global industrial prospective issues, promotes innovative teaching with excellent research, and cultivates new-generation interdisciplinary talents. In addition to a high-quality teaching and research environment, CGU also cultivates students’ competitiveness and international perspective through interdisciplinary programs, summer internships, and international exchanges. It also strengthens students’ future employment competitiveness through the “Formosa Plastics Group Scholarship Program” and the “Faculty-Student Entrepreneurship Incubation Program”, and adds forward-looking courses such as AI and green energy to the school’s general education courses, so that all teachers and students can participate in research to respond to the various opportunities and challenges they will face when entering society in the future.

International Exchange and Cooperation

In order to enhance students’ international perspective and increase international mobility, CGU provides abundant opportunities for students to study abroad during their studies, including dual degrees, semester (year) exchanges, overseas workplace internships, and short-term credit courses, and provides partial subsidies for studying abroad to reduce students’ living expenses.

1. Dual Degree Programs in cooperation with foreign universities:

CGU cooperates with the University of California, Irvine, the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, the University of Colorado Denver, the Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden, the University of Queensland in Australia, Yonsei University in South Korea, and the Singapore University of Technology and Design to offer dual degree programs. Students who participate in and complete the program can obtain degrees from both universities at the same time.

2. International Exchange Program:

CGU cooperates with excellent overseas schools such as the University of Minnesota, the University of Michigan, the University of Notre Dame, the Sorbonne University in France, KEDGE Business School, Seijo University in Japan, Rikkyo University, Brno University of Technology in the Czech Republic, and the University of Malaya in Malaysia to offer student exchange and visiting programs, creating more diverse international exchange channels for students.

Guidance Mechanism for Hong Kong, Macau, and Overseas Chinese Students

In order to help overseas students adapt to campus life, CGU holds exchange activities such as traditional festive activities, Overseas Student Culture Week, and cultural tours every academic year after enrollment to help overseas students understand Taiwanese society and diverse cultures, and promote local teachers and students’ understanding of overseas cultures. In addition, the Student Affairs Office has an overseas student service counter to provide consultation and assistance as a window for overseas students to contact and reflect their needs.

Highlights


Micro-program

In order to enable students to respond to the various opportunities and challenges they will face when entering society in the future, CGU needs to cultivate not only the ability of professional subjects, but also multi-faceted and diversified learning. The micro-program takes “interdisciplinary” as the course design goal, integrates knowledge from different fields, and gradually learns through “foundation, core, and practice”. In addition to equipping students with multi-faceted professional abilities, it can also enhance their interdisciplinary thinking and communication, become all-round talents, and increase future employment advantages. Ten micro-programs have been opened for students to choose from.

Third semester system to shorten graduation time

CGU has established a summer third-semester system that enables students to effectively plan their future pathways and obtain a secondary specialization. Interdisciplinary credit programs are offered every summer, adopting a credit-based system instead of a fixed length of study. Students who complete the minimum graduation credits required by their department and meet the University’s graduation requirements may apply for graduation, with the possibility of completing their studies in as little as three years.

Outstanding graduating students and alumni are recommended to enter Formosa Plastics Group

CGU has established the “Operating Guidelines for Recommending Outstanding Graduating Students and Alumni to Enter Formosa Plastics Group” with Formosa Plastics Group since 2016. The qualifications for recommendation are: (1) Graduating students and alumni within one year of graduation who are willing to enter Formosa Plastics Group. (2) The graduation grades of the undergraduate department are the top 25% of the class, and the graduate school is the top 50% of the class. CGU graduates are well received by employers after employment, and have smooth employment channels and competitive starting salaries.

Guaranteed Accommodation

100% accommodation and reasonable fees provide students with a more secure and worry-free learning environment.

Five-Year Dual Degree

Apply for a five-year bachelor’s and master’s program, and you can get a bachelor’s and master’s dual degree in just 5 years

Abundant internship opportunities, connecting industry and academia

Introduction


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.

Fo Guang University Bachelor’s Program Entrance Scholarship

Although Fo Guang University is a private university, the tuition and miscellaneous fees are charged according to the standards of public universities. Overseas Chinese students and students from Hong Kong and Macao who are admitted through the “Overseas Joint Enrollment Committee” or through the university’s “Separate Enrollment for Overseas Chinese Students and Students from Hong Kong and Macao” may be charged according to the tuition standards for domestic students.

Fo Guang University Buddhist Elite Scholarship

The “Million People Fundraising Memorial Fund” provides the “Buddhist Elite Scholarship”. Those who are willing to cooperate with the Buddhist Studies Department’s practice education, such as eating and living together, can apply to the Buddhist Studies Department after completing the payment and registration. They can apply for a scholarship of NTD 50,000 per semester, limited to four years for bachelor’s programs and two years for master’s and doctoral programs.

Clubs

Fo Guang University divides clubs into autonomous clubs (such as department student associations, student unions, etc.), recreational clubs (such as hip-hop dance clubs, recreation service clubs, etc.), academic and artistic clubs (such as Taiko drum clubs, calligraphy clubs, etc.), service clubs (such as volunteer services, goodwill ambassadors, etc.), sports clubs (such as table tennis clubs, etc.), social clubs (such as board game clubs, overseas Chinese student associations, etc.), and task-based clubs (such as choir clubs), totaling 74 clubs for students to develop their talents. At the end of each academic year, the Golden Bee Award for clubs is held, a club evaluation and award ceremony, and achievement presentations are held, and school principals, officials, and distinguished guests from friendly schools are invited to participate!

Highlights


Curriculum Program System

In order to strengthen the depth and breadth of students’ learning, to meet social needs and international development trends, and to integrate teaching resources, and to construct professional courses that meet students’ needs; Fo Guang University’s “Curriculum Program System” divides courses into different programs, including college foundation programs, department core programs, professional elective programs, and interdisciplinary programs. There are different combinations according to individual needs. The biggest difference from the old department credit system is that this curriculum program system can be more flexibly adjusted, freely selected, and self-taught across fields!

Student Internship Zone

In order to improve students’ employment knowledge, skills, and attitudes, the school comprehensively promotes cooperative institutions that connect with enterprises to add value to students’ employment competitiveness. Each department has corresponding cooperative enterprises according to its professional field, including Yugen Co., Ltd., NetDragon Websoft Inc., Lanyang 21st Century Real Estate, financial insurance industry, etc., allowing students to experience diverse workplace cultures through summer or semester internships, and have more opportunities to experience overseas employment.

Provides double degrees from University of the West in the United States, Gyeongsang National University in South Korea, and Middlesex University in the United Kingdom. Among them, if applying to Middlesex University in the United Kingdom, for the language threshold, the other party accepts the English scores of Malaysian overseas Chinese students in the past SPM as the application threshold.
