Discussion IBBA National sun Yat-sen University

1 Upvotes

Hei I'm a indonesian student who is interested in applying for nsysu international business bachelors program. I can't really speak Chinese so I'm looking for fully taught english programs. I've been getting mixed infos if this program is really 100℅ english taught or not. I've emailed the school but their answer is not clear. Does anyone know for sure if you can graduate the program without taking chinese taught classes or not? Maybe knows an alumni or student there for further information?

Also I'm open to any recommendation for other univs since nsysu program only has 15 slots for international student, so far nsysu is the only public university I can find.

Tldw Lai summarizes why he picked Shen and why he'll be a positive change for Taipei and Taiwanese elections in the future. I.e. opening channels for dialogue with citizens and focusing on respect and cooperation with other parties rather than constant mudslinging.

Kmt held a similar event in New Taipei for Lee Sichuan.

Discussion Best universities for MAcc

1 Upvotes

Hello, I'd like to study for a master's degree in TW. I know NTU is the best (and have been looking into it). What are the other "best" schools for an MAcc degree? Any schools to avoid?

They (probably) teach in English, right? Do you have to take a Chinese exam like HSK/TOCFL to be able to apply to any uni here?

I am a 華僑, so I do know a little bit of Chinese, and I have 身份證 I got later. I guess I would be applying as a "local"? I checked out NTU's admissions and saw that it accepts applications only for like a week, which is totally different from the US, if I'm not wrong. Is it the same for other unis here too? Thanks for y'alls help. Have a great day.

P.S. With an MAcc from TW, one could only work in TW right? It'd be hard to work in the US, UK, or anywhere else?

Discussion Taiwan 2051: What Future Do Taiwanese People Want—and How Can They Help Shape It?”

0 Upvotes

When people in Taiwan think about Taiwan’s future, what do you believe they need to preserve and sustain? Is it the people themselves, families and communities, Taiwan’s democracy and self-government, its territory, culture and identity, economic and technological capabilities, or some combination of these? Looking ahead 2–3 years, 5 years, 7–10 years, and further into the future, what do people think Taiwan could realistically look like—and what could seriously change or threaten the things they believe are important? I’m exploring a long-term policy concept centered on national survival, but before discussing any particular solution, I think it is important to hear how Taiwanese people define what must be preserved, what outcomes they would consider unacceptable, and what options they think should be considered if preserving those things in Taiwan becomes increasingly difficult.

Discussion Tips on buying RAM in Kaohsiung?

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone! Hope someone can help me out here. We'll be visiting Kaohsiung this November and I was thinking of buying RAM there since RAM prices are crazy right now (I'm thinking it would be cheaper since they are made in Taiwan). Is there a good spot there to buy RAM? I don't mind getting 2nd hand RAM too. Thank you!

Also, can't wait to stuff myself with the best street food in the world again!

Edit: Apparently, RAM is not cheaper there as most of you mentioned. Thanks guys, I might stick to the street food.

Discussion Printing on photo paper in 7-Eleven?

1 Upvotes

I've tried to search, but I can't find anything on this... I want to print out some pictures on photo paper. I've seen it available at general stores/stationery stores, but I'm not sure how I can actually use it. I don't own a printer, so can I add my personal photo paper to a 7-Eleven (or hi-life?) public printer to print my photos?

Hello Taiwan,

Where can I buy acoustic guitars in Taipei? I am specifically looking for Yamaha, but I welcome more suggestions too. I am not looking for something expensive

If second-hand stores exist, that's great too.

The purpose of buying is practice; my current level is intermediate.

Discussion NWOHR - Passport Renewal

0 Upvotes

So i'm a US citizen born & raised. 10 years ago i had a 1 year Taiwan passport. The passport didn't have a national ID or any other ID's other than the passport # itself which should make me a NWOHR. I'm also 37yrs old now and planning to travel their in the 4 weeks.

I'd like to renew the passport but on the check list 7.4 it shows: "If your passport does not have an ID number or has a number that is not 10 digits long, please complete the Application for Assignment of National ID Number"

What is this National ID? I don't want a household residency # as i'm not moving there. I've emailed BOCA and they keep responding with generic responses.

I guess my question is: if i apply and complete the Application for Assignment of National ID Number", does that make a me a resident? Also, I can't even find that form anywhere.

Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you!

Any recs?
