Tips for Students Studying in Taiwan for a Better Experience

​Taiwanese higher education is unquestionably highly regarded globally. It must provide access to universities with a strong international reputation, generous support networks, carefully designed degree programs, a welcoming local community, and instruction from some of the top professors in the world. Overall, whoever chooses to visit Taiwan will have a fruitful educational experience. But is that all that is necessary to study here? Not. As you might have guessed, we're going to explore Taiwan's higher education system. Usually, high marks achieving students are awarded scholarships to study in Taiwan in various academic fields. The duration of the program could vary it could be of one year, three, or four as well. The students who wish for acquiring this scholarship must need to work hard in their academics and if they need any sort of assistance for that then we are mentioning here an amazing website called peachy essay which would help you with your research writing with best thesis writers who are experts of their respective fields.   ​
Now talking about the history and culture of Taiwan as you know that Japan ruled over Taiwan for more than sixty years, I believe that these Asian nations, particularly Taiwan and Japan, have more in common than not. People are nice and polite, just like in Japan, therefore it is apparent that Japanese culture and tradition have influenced this area. You won't need to worry about the people or the surroundings since you will be in a welcoming area where you can receive any kind of help and support.
I'll provide you with the following suggestions that will make your stay in the nation more fulfilling. Many of these pointers should go without saying, but since people are forgetful beings, I'll mention them again.
  1. Make yourself well informed about the best universities before traveling
Of course, you can't go all the way to Taiwan and not read about its universities and their reputation as some of the best in the world. You'll be happy to learn that up to 21 Taiwanese colleges have routinely achieved excellent positions in global rankings.
  1. Taiwan has the best engineering and technological education
Taiwan is the place for you if you are interested in technology and want to pursue a career in it. The country's technological accomplishments are known around the world. The best results in engineering and technology come from its universities. Its economy is dependent on the infrequent technological advancements made, as seen by the world-class research output, international corporations, and technologically advanced universities. Additionally, you will join the class of graduates that is the most employable in the world. Doesn't that sound cool?
  1. Reasonable tuition fees
Fortunately, Taiwan's tuition costs are fairly affordable. You wouldn't need to sell off your land in order to pay for your education here, in contrast to the universities and institutions in the west. You will receive a decent education here in exchange for a fair amount of money. To give you an idea, the annual cost of undergraduate courses here ranges from $1,600 to $3,000. If a research degree program is of interest to you, budget between $4,000 and $5,000. These figures are, of course, limited by the cost of tuition. You might also incur extra costs, such as admission charges and lodging costs. The overall financial load won't be too heavy, though. Nevertheless, if you wish to support yourself, think about applying for a scholarship in case you want to support your education without many financial stressors. Here are some of the following scholarships which you can consider
  • Huayu Enrichment Scholarships, offered by the Taiwanese Government
  • Confucius Scholarships
  • Chinese Government Scholarships
  • Endeavour Scholarships, offered by the Australian Government
  • Check your local university for more information
 
  1. Don’t worry about linguistic barriers
Despite possible language hurdles, the majority of universities provide a good number of English-language courses. However, if English is not your first language, you will need to provide documentation of your proficiency. A TOEFL or IELTS score ought to be sufficient. In light of this, you must check with your university to see if the standards for language proficiency are met. For instance, a number of postgraduate programs require that applicants have completed their undergraduate studies in English; in the event that they have not, alternate options are also available. Keep in mind that a better TOEFL or IELTS score is anticipated the higher a university's ranking. So, pay close attention to what your university requires.
Find a language-exchange buddy! Although you've probably heard this a lot, language exchange partners may also make great friends and show you around cool local sites that you might not have discovered on your own.
  1. Amazing friendly local culture
In most areas, you can get the highest education, yet hospitable cultures are quite rare. Many highly developed nations still view outsiders with suspicion and treat them like people from the second grade. Taiwan, however, is not included in this group. It is unquestionably a more modern economy, but it is also quite accommodating and kind. It has developed an outward, modern environment that attracts visitors and is relatively inexpensive. International students may experience stress due to actual homesickness. A welcoming and approachable atmosphere is beneficial for the community of international students. So, wherever you choose to study in the nation, you will be provided with a healthy, progressive, and responsive atmosphere.
Last but not least, never say no and keep an open mind. If someone invites you to partake in a new activity that may not initially excite you, then don’t let the opportunity get away from you no matter how homesick you feel.
 
  1. Transportation
Traveling to different locations or cities would be simple and comfortable thanks to the excellent transportation system. However, more and more of the apps for transportation systems are in Chinese, making them challenging to use.
If you can manage to speak a few sentences in Chinese, like basic some sentences will be going to great help to you.
a) How are you?
b) what’s your name?
C) I want to go to XYZ place?
d) Is this bus going to XYZ place?
e) Where is the MRT station?
g) where is the convenience store?
