On Saturday (12/1), Taiwan Education Center Indonesia (TEC) Yogyakarta regional office continued its 2023 Roadshow Seminar and went to Universitas Muhammadiyah Pontianak specifically to the Faculty of Law to hold a seminar session and provide the information regarding scholarships from the Ministry of Education (MOE) Taiwan as well as Taiwan universities and the latest info of Taiwan Experience and Education Program (TEEP)–an internship and research program provided by MOE Taiwan–for the students and lecturers of UM Pontianak. TEC Yogyakarta also explained the Mandarin Summer Camp 2024.
At the venue, TEC Yogyakarta was welcomed by the dean of Faculty of Law, Anshari, S.H., M.H and the vice dean, M. Fajrin, S.H., M.H. along with the other faculty members and the students. Bima, the manager of TEC Yogyakarta who also was the speaker of the seminar, opened the presentation by providing a brief introduction of Taiwan and then continued by a seminar of the MOE Scholarships 2024 and the information of the TEEP.
As the first topic, MOE Scholarships gained a lot of attention by the participants since the programs’ benefits offered are not merely about getting a degree but also getting a wider experience by meeting the international community and connections. Furthermore, Bima explained that by getting a scholarship to Taiwan, the students will have more opportunities in the job-seeking world. In the Q&A session, many of the participants delivered a question related to the topic. This event hopefully could be a starting point to motivate the participants to study abroad and maximise their career opportunities as well as to open a new avenue for the continuation of study for the students of Faculty of Law of UM Pontianak.
