The university provides numerous opportunities for students to grow their potential in an exciting and supportive community. Career guidance coupled with our innovative and entrepreneurial spirit creates the perfect blend to broaden students’ personal and professional development. International Mentorship Program The NTU International Mentorship Program is the first summer internship program tailor-made for international degree-seeking students at National Taiwan University (NTU). The program aims to facilitate the linkage between Taiwan and the global talent market, as well as, to inspire the leaders of tomorrow.
Overseas Internship Program (OIP) To increase professional global competence and help our students develop international networks, NTU cooperates with overseas enterprises and non-profit organizations, such as IBM Research and The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew to create international internship opportunities across sectors for NTU undergraduate and graduate students, enabling them to pursue internship opportunities abroad. This program will promote international exchange, expand participants’ horizons, and prepare them to become professionals with a global mentality.
iNGO Academy In collaboration with Impact Hub Taipei, we’ve launched a training program for NTU students interested in sustainability and non-profit work. Focusing on project-based learning, students in this program will work with Taiwan's non-governmental organizations (NGO) focusing on international affairs or international non-governmental organizations (iNGO) as interns. Through all English-curated courses and 16-week internships combining theory with practice, we are intended to empower our students with global networks and problem-solving skills to prepare the future careers with NGOs.Continuous career development

Tuition fees vary depending on each college, the level of your degree, the year of your study, and your student status. They are inclusive of administrative, miscellaneous, and credit fees, meaning students can take electives without having to pay additional fees. Scholarships
NTU believes that higher education should be accessible to all, regardless of financial capabilities. NTU, the government of Taiwan, and other organizations offer many different scholarships for students of different nationalities, undergraduate or graduate degrees, specific graduate programs, and even select Chinese learning programs. For scholarships for non-degree programs (exchange and visiting), please contact your home university.
Cost of living
The cost of living varies per individual. Despite being a modern metropolis, life in Taipei is budget-friendly. The estimated cost of living per semester (6 months), including books, housing, National Health Insurance and living expenses ranges between NTD 65,400 to NTD 156,000 (around USD 2,180–5,200). To further support yourself financially, international students can apply for a work permit, and can work in Taiwan for a maximum of 20 hours per week during the semester.
Scholarships
Selecting the right scholarship can be a daunting process. With countless options available, students often find themselves overwhelmed and confused. The decision can be especially stressful for those facing financial constraints or pursuing specific academic or career goals.
To help students navigate this challenging process, we recommend the following articles:
