Bachelor’s Degree:
Around $2,000 to $3,500 USD per year
Master’s Degree:
Around $2,500 to $4,500 USD per year

Dormitory Housing: ~$600–$1,500 USD/year
Living Expenses: ~$4,000–$7,000 USD/year depending on the city

Top public universities like National Taiwan University (NTU), National Tsing Hua University (NTHU), and National Chengchi University (NCCU) are more selective, especially for graduate programs taught in English.
Bachelor’s Programs:
Acceptance rates for international students, including Indians, range from 25% to 40% for competitive universities.
Mid-tier public universities may have acceptance rates between 40% and 60%.
Master’s and PhD Programs:
Acceptance rates can range from 20% to 50%, depending on faculty availability and research alignment.
Programs in Engineering, Science, and Business are more competitive, especially at NTU, NTHU, and NYCU.
Private institutions generally have higher acceptance rates, as they rely more on tuition revenue and often have fewer international applicants.
Bachelor’s Programs:
Acceptance rates typically range from 50% to 70% for international applicants.
Master’s and PhD Programs:
Usually between 40% and 65%, with less competition unless applying to a highly reputed private university (e.g., Taipei Medical University).
Taiwan has been increasingly welcoming Indian students through government scholarships (like MOE, TIGP, and MOST). As a result:
Indian students with good academic records and English proficiency are often admitted without much difficulty to mid-tier or even top-tier universities, provided their application aligns with the research or program goals.
Acceptance rates for Indian students are roughly in line with other international applicants and depend heavily on academic background, research proposal (for PhD), and faculty recommendation.
Research universities offering your desired program.
Visit the university’s official international admissions page.
Check language of instruction (many Master’s/PhD programs are in English).
Note application deadlines (typically January–March for fall intake).
Varies by university and program level, but generally includes:
Bachelor’s: High school diploma + English/Chinese proficiency
Master’s: Bachelor’s degree in a related field + GPA requirements
PhD: Master’s degree + research proposal (often needs to contact a supervisor first)
Most universities require the following:
Completed online application form

Proof of Language Proficiency:
English programs: TOEFL iBT (≥ 79) / IELTS (≥ 6.0)
Chinese programs: TOCFL Level 3+ (if required)
Passport copy
Research proposal (for PhD and some Master’s)
Portfolio (for art/design programs)
Apply through the university's online portal.
Some universities accept hard copies by post (verify instructions).
