TAIWAN

Study at universities in Taiwan

Semester stays for three full-time 2.-5. year students are possible at this university:

Information about the Taiwan-Europe Connectivity Scholarship:

Nominated student will automatically be added into the running for the scholarship from the Taiwanese government. One requirement of accepting the scholarship is that the student must, besides their other courses, attend a Chinese language course – 3 Taiwanese credits, 4 hours a week + the student must actively participate at several university events, at which he must represent our university, Slovakia, and the EU. The official requirements for gaining the scholarship can be found here: https://en.mofa.gov.tw/cp.aspx?n=6847.

The choice of stay in a given academic year depends on the state of exchanges between Comenius University and the chosen university. There are discussions with foreign partner universities every year ad hoc (since Comenius University traditionally accepts fewer student than it sends out).

ELIGIBILITY

Offer is available to 2.-5. year students of all faculties. One requirement is proficiency in English or Chinese. The selection of English courses might be limited. Before applying make sure that the University offers courses for your faculty.

EXPENSES

Study fees are not paid by the Comenius University students.
Health insurance, travel expenses, accommodation expenses, textbooks and study materials, as well as personal expenses will be paid by the students themselves. One semester will cost the student thousands of Euros.

There are no additional scholarships that are available to fund this exchange – since this is not part of the Erasmus+ exchange programme.

The International Relations Office will contribute to the travel expenses and successful applicants will be informed of all details.

Offer open until 17.4.2025!
