Origin of the Program
National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University (NYCU) and Ton Duc Thang University (TDTU) in Vietnam have been partner universities for several years. Both universities have a strong tradition of academic collaboration, highlighted by signing a summer school academic exchange agreement. Building on this solid foundation, the College of Life Sciences, located in Taipei, initiated the Taiwan-Vietnam Dual Degree Program in June 2024, specifically inviting outstanding students from the Faculty of Applied Sciences and Faculty of Pharmacy at TDTU to pursue Master’s degrees at the College of Life Sciences, NYCU.
Scholarships
The program offers financial support to help students manage their expenses. Tuition waiver scholarships and assistantships are available for both the exchange semester and the dual degree program. For the exchange semester, students can receive a tuition waiver scholarship, an assistantship of up to NT$12,000 per month, and a round-trip flight ticket between Taipei and Ho Chi Minh City to defend their BS thesis after the exchange semester. For the dual degree program, students can receive a tuition waiver scholarship plus an assistantship of up to NT$15,000 per month.
