Why study in Taiwan?
Study abroad in Taiwan, Asia’s rising travel destination yet to be uncovered by masses of tourists. This mystical green island, where ancient traditions and modern values exist in harmony, will charm you from the moment you exit the plane!
As one of the four Asian Tigers, Taiwan is especially renowned for its high living standards and level of higher education. Taiwan is also one of the most powerful players in the global business and ICT arena and is therefore the place to be for aspiring business leaders and technological wizards. To top it off, Taiwan is ranked among the safest countries in the world with very low crime rate and a high-quality health care system.
In Taipei, the bustling capital city, you will find pieces of Chinese culture that have since long disappeared from mainland China. Food lovers will not be disappointed either; Taipei is considered one of the best food cities in Asia ranging from its mouthwatering street food to award-winning haute cuisine. Exploring Taipei is done best by hopping on a bicycle and cycling through the city’s scenic bike paths. When you feel the need to get away from the city buzz, the majestic mountains and national parks, lush rain forests and relaxing hot springs and beaches are just a short bus or train ride away!
Combine all of this with one of the friendliest and most open-minded societies in Asia and you might just find it hard to leave after your study semester is over!
