National Chengchi University - NCU
speciality: Politics

As an international degree student at National Chengchi University, I found both the classroom experience and the overall campus environment to be very welcoming for international students. Since NCCU is well-known as a social sciences school, many courses naturally encourage discussion of global issues and cultural differences. This creates a learning space where you not only gain knowledge from professors but also from classmates who bring different backgrounds and perspectives to the table.

The international student community is active and well-integrated into campus life. Many classes are taught in English. While the school is about a 15-30 minute commute away from the city center, the campus itself is surrounded by nature, offering a calm and scenic atmosphere that makes studying here enjoyable.

The opportunities for intercultural exchange and the chance to build both academic and social connections make NCCU a rewarding place to study. There are a lot of interesting student clubs you can join. There are also plenty of programs catered for international students to participate.

It’s an especially strong choice for anyone interested in politics, international relations, communication, and other social sciences fields. I particularly recommend the classes Global Health Governance and Semiconductor Industry in the Era of Techno-Geopolitics. These are classes that are unique to Taiwan. There are plenty of field trips and workshops ensuring a hands-on learning environment.
