08 Jul Why Study in Taiwan?
According to data from the Ministry of Education of Taiwan, the number of Indonesian students continuing their studies in Taiwan in 2022 reached 16,639 students. Director of TETO Grace Ou revealed that there was an increase of 28% from 2018 to 2022. This number places Indonesia as the 2nd highest in the world in terms of the number of students in Taiwan.
There are many advantages of universities in Taiwan that attract Indonesian students to pursue their studies there. Here are the advantages that make many students choose Taiwan as their destination country:
- Opportunities to Obtain Scholarships and Internships
The government and universities in Taiwan provide scholarships for foreign students and offer opportunities for foreign students to intern or even work in Taiwan. - Relatively Affordable Tuition Fees and Living Costs
The relatively affordable tuition fees, coupled with the availability of scholarships, make the cost of studying in Taiwan affordable. The relatively similar cost of living to that of Indonesia encourages students to pursue their studies in Taiwan. - Education System and University Reputation
Taiwan has internationally recognized universities, particularly in fields such as science and technology, health, business, agriculture, and others. - Mandarin Language
With over 1.4 billion people in the world using Mandarin as their first or primary language, Mandarin has become the fastest-growing language in the world. This encourages Indonesians, especially some companies, to give preference to applicants with Mandarin language skills. Therefore, it is not surprising that many Indonesian students continue their studies in Taiwan to learn Mandarin while gaining knowledge. - Part-Time Job Opportunities
Can you study while working abroad? YES! Taiwan provides part-time job opportunities for high school to university students. The requirement is to register for a work permit, and then students can work part-time in cafes, restaurants, or even in Indonesian shops that are widely scattered in various cities in Taiwan. - Unique Culture
Another advantage of Taiwan is its culture. One of them is the culture of queuing in Taiwan. It’s a common sight to see Taiwanese people lining up neatly to board public transportation. - Building Networking from Various Countries
The number of campuses offering lectures in English encourages foreign students to study in Taiwan. According to available data, there are at least 40,000 foreign students from various countries studying in Taiwan.
