High quality, low cost, abundant scholarships — a fast-rising destination
Taiwan is a fast-rising choice for Vietnamese students: quality education, many universities in the Asian rankings, and clear strengths in technology, engineering and semiconductors. Tuition and living costs are low, scholarships are abundant (Taiwan Scholarship, MOE and university awards), and there are both English- and Chinese-taught programmes. Part-time work is allowed and Taiwan is close to Vietnam. VNIS guides you from Chinese-language courses to Bachelor's and Master's degrees.
Among the region's lowest tuition and living costs, with options for every budget.
Taiwan Scholarship, MOE and university awards — many covering up to 100% tuition plus stipends.
Strengths in engineering, IT and semiconductors — tied to world-leading industry.
Legal part-time work, a ~3-hour flight and a large Vietnamese community.
Chinese-language courses, Bachelor's and Master's degrees — public and private universities, with English-taught programmes available.
Strong fields: engineering, IT and semiconductors, business, tourism & hospitality, design & arts.
Admissions and application handling for study in Taiwan.
Taiwan Scholarship, MOE and university scholarship applications.
Study-visa preparation and financial-proof support.
Chinese-language teaching and settling-in support in Taiwan.
Bachelor's degrees typically run 4 years, Master's 2 years and PhDs 3–4. The system spans national (public, lower tuition) and private universities — many private institutions have modern facilities and strong international scholarships.
Two language options: Chinese-taught programmes (usually requiring TOCFL) or fully English-taught degrees, the number of which keeps growing.
University-run Mandarin Training Centres accept language-only students, a common stepping stone before starting a degree.
Tuition and living costs in Taiwan are among the lowest in the region — the main reason many Vietnamese families choose Taiwan over Japan, Korea or Western destinations.
Three main funding sources: the Taiwan Scholarship (government), MOE Huayu Enrichment awards for Chinese-language study, and university scholarships — many covering tuition plus a monthly living stipend.
On-campus dormitories are inexpensive and easy to apply for, cutting accommodation costs sharply versus renting privately.
Once you hold an offer letter you apply for a resident visa, then register for an ARC (Alien Resident Certificate) with the immigration authority after arrival.
Documents typically include qualifications and transcripts (consular-legalised), proof of funds, a health check and the admission letter.
International students join the National Health Insurance (NHI) scheme after the required residency period, which keeps healthcare costs very reasonable.
Students may work part-time legally once they hold a work permit — apply properly rather than working informally.
Taiwan is a world leader in semiconductors and electronics, opening valuable internships and jobs for students in engineering, IT and automation.
A large Vietnamese community and a roughly 3-hour flight home make settling in and visiting family straightforward.
VNIS supports applications and scholarships to leading public and private universities across Taiwan.
Taiwan is a fast-rising choice for Vietnamese students thanks to quality education, low tuition and living costs, and a rich scholarship ecosystem — from the Taiwan Scholarship and MOE awards to university scholarships — that sharply lowers the cost of study.
Taiwan has clear strengths in engineering, IT and semiconductors — world-leading fields that open valuable internship and career opportunities. Part-time work rights, geographic closeness and a large Vietnamese community help students settle in quickly, while many English-taught programmes lower the language barrier.
