Many opportunities for Vietnamese students to access Taiwanese education

The exhibition attracted a large number of students.

Speaking at the opening ceremony, Associate Professor Dr. Hoang Anh Tuan, Vice Rector of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, expressed his honor that the university was chosen as the venue for the exhibition, and highly appreciated the meaningful purpose of this exhibition. The exhibition is a meaningful activity, contributing to building good relationships between the university and universities in Taiwan, strengthening diplomatic relations between the university and international universities. In the context of an open economy, the exhibition has great value in promoting trade cooperation and bilateral development between the University of Social Sciences and Humanities and training units in Taiwan.

Sharing the same view, Mr. Thach Thuy Ky - Chief Representative of Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Hanoi and Mr. Tran Lap Ngon - Vice Principal of Van Tao University of Foreign Languages ​​also affirmed that the opinions of Associate Professor Dr. Hoang Anh Tuan were completely well-founded and wished to promote the friendly relationship with the school through activities such as this exhibition.

Coming to this year's exhibition, students will have the opportunity to learn about universities in Taiwan through 28 booths from many major universities such as: Tsinghua University, Dai Nam University, Wen Tao University of Foreign Languages, National Taipei University, etc. Coming to each booth, you will be supported with admissions and study abroad consulting as well as meet and exchange with representatives from Taiwan. Thereby, students will have a more general view of studying abroad in Taiwan. Issues about tuition fees, travel, and accommodation in Taiwan will also be thoroughly answered by school representatives.

In particular, each university participating this year offers attractive scholarship opportunities, creating conditions for students to have the opportunity to study abroad at major universities with reasonable tuition and living expenses. A series of scholarship opportunities have been opened for students attending the exhibition such as: 50-100% tuition exemption in the first year, English and Chinese language scholarship support, 100% tuition exemption for international students with excellent achievements, etc.

Students were excited to ask questions and interact with the Organizing Committee through entertaining games.

Studying abroad in Taiwan is increasingly being chosen by many parents and students. Because, although studying in an international-class environment, the cost of studying in Taiwan is much lower than studying at a university in Europe. Moreover, Taiwan has a culture quite similar to Vietnam, so international students will easily accept and integrate when studying there, avoiding culture shock. In particular, from September 1, 2016, Taiwan has decided to exempt visas for 30 days for eligible Vietnamese citizens. Therefore, parents of international students can easily travel to Taiwan to visit their children without worrying about travel expenses. Grasping these outstanding advantages, the Taiwan University Education Exhibition has successfully shortened the dream of studying abroad for many students in Vietnam.

The exhibition attracted nearly 1,000 parents, students and pupils from Hanoi and neighboring provinces. In addition to providing useful information about studying abroad, the exhibition also had entertaining games and lucky draws for those who came to participate to take home gifts.

The exhibition is a bridge for the relationship between Vietnam and Taiwan, at the same time promoting cooperation between the two countries in education to contribute to bringing Vietnamese students to access advanced education in the world.
