2025 Study in Taiwan Information Sessions Attract Thai Students Interested in Studying in Taiwan
Educational cooperation and exchanges between Taiwan and Thailand have grown steadily in recent years, with increasing numbers of students undertaking studies in each other’s universities. The Education Division of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Thailand organized six 2025 Study in Taiwan Information Sessions to help Thai students deepen their understanding of Taiwan’s education and culture, and learn more about study opportunities in Taiwan and the scholarships available. The six sessions attracted a total of more than 600 participants. The last two sessions were held on September 27 and on September 28.
The September 27 session held at King Mongkut’s University of Technology Thonburi (KMUTT) attracted almost 100 young people. The Thai science and technology students there are extremely interested in innovative science, technology, and engineering and the session focused on related study opportunities in Taiwan. Ms. Hsueh Yi-Han 薛懿含, Second Secretary of the Education Division, gave the opening remarks. She thanked the co-organizers for their strong support and told the attendees that she hoped the session would give them valuable information about Taiwan’s world-class education, academic programs, vibrant campus life, diverse culture, and everyday life there. She encouraged them to apply for the different scholarships available to study in Taiwan.
Ms. Jaruwan Jaranupong, Director of the Taiwan Education Center in Thailand, then provided details of the eligibility criteria for a range of scholarships, and the application procedures and documents required. She was followed by two former recipients of a Huayu Enrichment Scholarship to study Mandarin, and then a Ministry of Education Taiwan Scholarship to undertake a degree program, who talked about their experiences as students in Taiwan. Two participants in the TEEP—Taiwan Experience Education Program—then talked about their experiences doing internships in the fields of information systems and applications, robotics, and computer science. All five speakers sparked great interest from the STEM students attending the session and many questions were asked.
The last session, held next day at the Chinese Association in Thailand, also provided the participants with a lot of information about a range of scholarships available, including the Ministry of Education Taiwan Scholarships and Huayu Enrichment Scholarships, the Taiwan ICDF scholarships, and scholarships offered by individual universities. It attracted more than 70 participants. In contrast to the previous day’s participants, most had a strong interest in further study in the fields of the humanities and social sciences, learning Mandarin, cultural studies, human resources development, or international management.
All the 2025 Study in Taiwan Information Sessions gave the participating students practical information about Taiwan’s high-quality higher education system and scholarships, and first-hand reports about its welcoming learning environment.
