The International Cooperation and Development Fund (TaiwanICDF) is the organization that implements Taiwan's official development assistance (ODA), similar to the role as the USAID in America and the JICA in Japan. For close to half a century, the TaiwanICDF and its predecessors have demonstrated the Taiwanese people’s commitment to international cooperation.
Based on its resources and the needs of host countries, the TaiwanICDF provides partner nations with development experience based on Taiwan’s own economic and social advancement. The aim is to spark economic development and social progress in these nations and help generate wealth. The Fund concentrates its energies in the four core work areas of investment and lending operations, technical cooperation, international human resource development, and humanitarian assistance. The TaiwanICDF has implemented numerous projects that promote small and medium enterprises (SMEs) development, human resources development, agricultural upgrading and diversification, public health improvement, and information and communications technology (ICT).

Come to Yuan Ze, Make Your Dreams
Come True
Established in 1989, Yuan Ze University is very young
but it has been recognized as a model for newly emerged universities
within the short 18 years. As the first and the only university to win
the National Quality Award in 2003, we were awarded by the Ministry of
Education (MOE) with “Project to Encourage Teaching Excellence in
Universities” in 2005. Successively, we are ranked by the MOE as one of
the top 12 universities being awarded with “Aim for the Top University
and Elite Research Center Development Project” since 2005. Granted with
the highest honor in teaching, research and administration, we have
become a legend of higher education in Taiwan which is traditionally
dominated by national universities.
Currently we have five colleges including the Colleges
of Engineering, Informatics, Management, Humanities and Social Sciences
and Electrical and Communications Engineering and over 9,000 students at
a 2:1 ratio between undergraduate and graduate students. Aimed at being
key research centers in Taiwan, our energy and communications research
centers have integrated all resources and recruited talents in all
engineering related departments at Yuan Ze through key support from the
Top Universities Project. Accelerated by these two centers, we also
maneuver the promotion of overall teaching and research capacity. The
College of Management has established the first EMBA program in Taiwan
and no major declaration for freshmen. All the courses in the Graduate
School of Management are conducted in English to connect to the world.
The College of Informatics is the first college in Taiwan to adopt
information as the core for teaching and research. It focuses on
practicum and the integration between technology and social studies. The
College of Humanities and Social Sciences is working closely with the
General Education Center to promote teaching and research in humanities,
general education, and ethics for the Top Universities Project.
Our school development strategy emphasizes on
differentiation and internationalization. Through differentiation in
curriculum design and research, we have created our blue ocean and
brand; while internationalization is an important strategy to elevate
the view of students and level of academic research. At least a quarter
of the professional courses in the undergraduate school are conducted in
English. All undergraduate students are required to take a minimum of 12
credits of general English. Through module methodology, students’
English level capability will be improved substantially. Additionally,
the International Language and Culture Center offers Mandarin and
cultural programs for international students, hosts various cultural
activities, and promotes cultural exchange on campus, in addition to
providing general English and foreign languages courses.
After joining the TICA of the ICDF in 2006, we have
established the Industrial Engineering and Management graduate program
for international students and recruited international students ever
since. As one of the oldest departments at Yuan Ze, the Industrial
Engineering and Management Department offers comprehensive master’s and
Ph.D.’s programs. With top ranking research capacity and academic
performance, international students at Yuan Ze will be at the best hands
to receive quality learning achievements.
We are enthusiastic in recruiting international
students (including undergraduate students), provide substantial
scholarship/fellowship and offer free tuition and accommodation for
international students. As I joined the student recruitment tour to
Central America organized by the ICDF in September 2006, we have 16
applicants from Central American alone this year. Other than ICDF
scholarship recipients, 4 are admitted by the Graduate School of
Industrial Engineering and Management with Yuan Ze scholarship and
another 8 are admitted by other graduate schools. The result proves the
effect of ICDF student recruitment tour and the attractiveness of our
incentive measures.
Founded by the Far Eastern Group, we have established
close relationships with all subsidies of the Far Eastern to form
industrial and academia alliance. The plan of internship at enterprises
in Taiwan for international students can be realized through the network
of Yuan Ze with other enterprises. This added value is also another
advantage to attract international students.
We welcome all international students to study and
experience Taiwan, to learn about the Chinese culture and receive
professional education. We welcome you to come to Yuan Ze to make your
dreams come true.

My Favorite Taiwanese Food

One of the things I've come to observe during my
three year stay in Taiwan is that, the most difficult factor involving
the adaptation of any wai guo ren (foreigners) to this very interesting

delicacies and an extensive menu of incredible dishes, how can this be?
