There is a clearing house in Bangkok for any students interested in applying to university in Taiwan. It is called the, Bangkok Taiwan Education Center (BTEC) and is located at 92/38 A15th Floor, Sathorn, Thani Tower 2, North Sathorn road, Bangrak, Bangkok 10500. The website is: http://www.taiwan-center.com and the phone number is: 02 667 0181 There are 167 universities in Taiwan, functioning similar to universities in Japan and Korea. As expected most are taught in Mandarin but there are a few English based international programs. The Taiwanese universities are actively seeking international students and any Taiwanese student who has lived overseas for 5 or more years is not required to take the, apparently very demanding, national entrance examination.

The applications can be obtained on line but must be mailed to the university. Some of the programs require an SAT and TOEFL. An oral test may be taken over the telephone for some programs whereas others must be done face-to-face. The applications can be sent from Jan1. March 13. There isnt any recognition of the IB Diploma or certificate courses at this time. There are some scholarships available but overall, the cost is quite affordable from US$6,500-11,300.

The National Central University (NCU)

Is a large university with over 10,000 students Located four miles from Taipei. The programs are more Liberal Arts based but there are also language and business programs.
