In response to the demand of talent, National Taiwan University (NTU) launches International School of Politics and Economics on May 6, 2024. The school as an institutional landmark highlights economics and politics for further development of the versatile cross-disciplinary literacy of global talent.

As the first international school of politics and economics in Taiwan, President Wen-Chang Chen emphasized that future globally minded generations in political, economic and international financial sectors would be cultivated in terms of incorporation of politics and economics into innovative technology, environmental sustainability, regional history and culture.

Plus, the school will engage in academic exchanges in collaboration with leading universities including Harvard University, Georgetown University in the United States, Sciences Po in France and Waseda University in Japan. Future joint initiatives will enhance not only internationalization of higher education but also advance top-notch inter-disciplinary researches. Grappling with world challenges and changing geopolitics, the school aims to exert a decisive impact at national, regional and global levels.

Launched by the Office of International Affairs, National Taiwan University (NTU), the series of lectures, themed “Global Competence with Internationalization at Home,” is aimed at cultivating students’ intercultural interests and building a global mindset.

Under the guidance of Executive Vice President Prof. Chiapei Chou and Vice President for International Affairs Prof. Hsiao-Wei Yuan, the intriguing delivery of teaching in-depth unveils aspirations and approaches to complex challenges to navigate the ever-changing transnational environment.

To nurture the future generation of critical thinkers, numerous representatives and ambassadors provide their insightful perspectives and international career experiences which empower young talent to adapt to the evolving global landscape.

Meanwhile, students highly engage in Q&A discussions in relation to sustainability, national development, and international collaborations. To prepare students to thrive in the interconnected world and address present-day issues, especially in the post-Covid era, the flagship initiative allows students as global citizens to learn about trending highlights and the impact of a country as well as dynamic connectivity at regional and global levels.

Following lectures delivered by ambassadors and representatives, students as teams provide theme-based posters in addition to the delivery of individual reflection papers. To embrace diversity and inclusion, the innovative initiative not only serves as a platform for enhancing cross-cultural communication skills but illustrates an intercultural-powered campus through the mechanism of a transformative curriculum.
