In this agenda, Ms. Susan Wu and Ms. Penny Tien as the representatives of Office of International Affairs (OIA) and admission of NKUST together with one excellent student of NKUST, Mr. Kevin Adrian, became the speakers of this Webinar.
This Webinar was held to give the participants an introduction and insight about studying in Taiwan especially in NKUST.

She also explained about the programs available for international students, scholarship, and the requirements.
Besides Ms. Wu, Ms. Tien delivered a presentation regarding Taiwan Experience Education Program (TEEP) 2022 in NKUST. TEEP was launched by Taiwan’s Ministry of Education to encourage more international students to participate in short-term professional internship projects organized by Taiwanese universities and colleges. Ms. Tien explained in detail about the requirements for applying this program.
The last speaker of the day, Mr. Kevin Adrian shared about his experience during his study in NKUST. Not only explaining about what it is like to be an international student, he also explained about many other things that we must know when we decided to study abroad.
