Since 20 years ago, Taiwan Tech has been actively recruiting top students from Southeast Asia, and today it leads Taiwan in the proportion and number of foreign graduate students, contributing talent to Taiwan's industries.

Taiwan Tech is the university with the highest number and proportion of foreign graduate students in Taiwan. 17% of master’s students and 42.7% of doctoral students are foreign students. It not only attracts outstanding academic personnel to come to Taiwan, enhances Taiwan's global visibility through its graduates' international achievements.

By keeping exceptional talent in Taiwan, Taiwan Tech injects new vigor into industries facing labor shortages, supporting Taiwanese companies in their international expansion. Foreign alumni can be found in leading companies such as CTCI Co., Ltd., BenQ Corporation, and ASML.

International students at Taiwan Tech are in high demand as top talents, with many companies extending olive branches to keep these excellent individuals employed in Taiwan. (Photo taken at Taiwan Tech's Campus Recruitment and Internship Expo on March 28, 2024)
