Since 2017, various colleges in Yuan Ze University have established English bachelor programs (EBPs) to cultivate talents equipped with professional knowledge and foreign language skills. To expand and enhance the EBPs of each college, the International Academy (IA) was established in 2022 to integrate these programs. Our main goal is to form the foundation for creating global talents, turning YZU into a model university for professional bilingual education.
IA recruits outstanding foreign lecturers and manages English professional courses. We are committed to implementing and further developing English professional courses. Think of it as a “mini YZU”. IA is the starting point for students to receive international education, which extends to graduate studies as well.
We offer opportunities for further studies, foreign exchange programs, internships, and dual degrees programs. To achieve your dream of becoming a global professional or traveling overseas, studying at IA of YZU is your best choice.
In alignment with 2030 Bilingual Policy, the International Academy is committed to creating an inclusive and internationally connected learning environment that empowers students to learn across borders, build meaningful global connections, and make a positive impact in their local communities. Through international education, cross-disciplinary learning, global engagement, and community involvement, we prepare students to thrive in a diverse and interconnected world.
We create an internationalized and interdisciplinary learning environment where students can expand their knowledge and perspectives beyond traditional academic boundaries. Through English-medium courses, international faculty, diverse learning resources, and collaborations with leading universities, students are encouraged to learn across disciplines and cultures. International students can pursue their education and develop their academic and professional interests in Taiwan, while domestic students can experience a multicultural learning environment and gain global perspectives without leaving campus. Through overseas study, summer intensive English programs, and other international learning opportunities, we empower every student to become a confident and globally minded learner.
We connect students with people, ideas, institutions, and opportunities around the world. Through international exchange, cultural programs, overseas internships, global volunteering, and collaborations with universities and industry partners, students can develop meaningful international experiences and build lifelong global networks with peers from diverse backgrounds. Our internationalized campus provides opportunities for students to engage with a global community throughout their university journey, while supporting their career development, employment, and opportunities for further study after graduation.
We believe that global learning should create meaningful impact in the communities where we live and work. By connecting global perspectives with local needs, we encourage students to bring their knowledge, skills, and international experiences back to Taiwan and contribute to society. Through community engagement, social responsibility, University Social Responsibility (USR) initiatives, and collaboration with local industries and organizations, students can apply what they learn to real-world challenges. We also support international students in developing career opportunities in Taiwan, enabling them to contribute their diverse talents and perspectives to local communities and industries.
