Director's Words

Welcome to the Office of International Affairs (OIA)! OIA was established in 2009 to respond to the needs of a growing number of international students. OIA aims to improve the visibility of STUST by offering services to international students and scholars to minimize the difficulties they may experience both upon arrival and later during their stay at STUST. OIA has become a vibrant place for the multiple services including:

The provision of information on a wide range of topics, including immigration issues (work permits, travel), financial questions, resources at STUST and in the community, and adjustment to life in Taiwan through many extracurricular activities to promote cross-cultural learning.

• The recruitment of international students, scholars, and practitioners as well as the management of research collaborations, joint academic programs, and student exchanges.
• The organization and management of English-taught programs with cutting-edge curricula to advance and internationalize education in STUST.

Through the years, the OIA has championed innovative cross-cultural interactions through teaching, learning and outreach, collaborates with international constituencies, and advances new knowledge to integrate and elevate a globally engaged STUST. We warmly welcome you, whether you are an international student considering studying STUST, a domestic student aiming to study abroad, or an institution seeking an international partnership to join us.

We are looking forward to partnering with you on advancing STUST’s global engagement at home and around the world.
