International Affairs

Department of International Affairs

Globalization continuously expands the horizon of international affairs and transnational trading activities. Consequently, both public and private sectors are increasing their demands of high-caliber human capital specializing in both foreign languages and international affairs. The Department of International Affairs was established to meet this demand. We have more than 10% of enrolled students from over 20 countries. Our goal is to nurture professionals of international politics and economics with high caliber cultural understanding and language proficiency. Blending a wealth of international knowledge and excellent foreign language skills, its curriculum provides classes that educate students to gain familiarity with international politics, international economics, and international culture studies. Hence, its alumni are fully-educated in school before advancing in all professions related to international affairs for both public and private sectors. We provide opportunities of exchange programs including University of Essex, University of the West of England, Loughborough University, University of Nottingham in the UK, Strathclyde University in Scotland and University of St. Thomas in Texas, USA, and University of Niigata Prefecture, Japan.

Master’s Program of International Affairs (English-taught program)

This all-English master program explores issues of the international political economy from the macro-perspective of globalization and focuses on practical operations at the managerial levels of multinational corporations. Its curriculum emphasizes the integrated development of the international economy and hands-on experiences in foreign-related tasks. In this program's whole-English learning environment, students from Taiwan and abroad collaborate to explore and analyze domestic and international topics and case studies. Such learning experiences allow international students to delve into Taiwan's domestic affairs while allowing domestic students understand how Taiwan's affairs are inextricably connected to events overseas. We provide opportunities of exchange programs and dual degree (graduate with two degree from both schools) including University of Essex, University of the West of England in the UK, Fort Hays State University in the  USA, and Lumière Lyon2 University in France.
