Tamkang University (reviews)

Studied at the Chinese language center in Dongmen. Teachers are very young and not well trained. They cannot control the class. Students are mainly Vietnamese – in my class I was the only non-Vietnamese student. It made it very difficult to learn. A lot of time is wasted in class with pointless drills and exercises.

What I liked:
As an international student, I appreciated the flexibility the university offered, especially not being tied to a scholarship. This gave me the freedom to adjust, adapt, and settle into a completely new environment without the extra pressure of maintaining a strict GPA requirement. It really helped me stay more focused, mentally balanced, and open to exploring the culture and academic system in Taiwan at my own pace.

What could be improved:
While the program covered a broad range of subjects, I often felt that the curriculum was too spread out across many courses and credits. This made it harder to fully concentrate on the core elements of Business Administration. I also noticed that learning was heavily focused on exams, which encouraged short-term memorization rather than deep understanding.
I believe the program would benefit from more project-based learning, where students can apply skills in practical settings, collaborate in teams, and build real-life problem-solving experiences. This would also allow students to better showcase their strengths and prepare for the workforce.
