Tips from our advisors

1. Check the local Taiwan representative office's notice because dates and document requirements vary by country.
2. Read the eligibility line by line before you write anything. Most rejections are eligibility mismatches, not weak essays.
3. Contact potential supervisors before you apply. Send a one-page research summary and a short, specific email.
4. Show a clear link between your past studies, this programme and your career goal. Committees look for a story, not a list.
5. Beyond grades, show leadership and community impact with concrete numbers and outcomes.
6. Spend most of your time on the criteria with the highest weight in the selection breakdown above.
7. Start at least 8 to 12 weeks early. Certified transcripts, translations and referee letters usually take longer than expected.
