National Taiwan University Admission Requirements 2027

National Taiwan University in Taipei is Taiwan's leading university and admits international degree students in two rounds for a September start and one for February. Tuition is charged per semester, from NT$50,460 in liberal arts to NT$79,120 in medicine for international undergraduates, roughly double the local rate. English-taught programmes need CEFR B2, and conditional admission gives a year to produce the certificate.

Requirements

The university's own pages we could read do not state these requirements yet. Check the official admission page.

English test waiver

NTU sets the language requirement by the language the programme is taught in. For an English-taught programme the minimum is CEFR B2, accepted as TOEFL iBT 72, IELTS Academic 5.5 or TOEIC 785. For a Chinese-taught programme it is Chinese at CEFR A2, accepted as TOCFL Band A Level 2 or HSK Level 4, and a TOCFL certificate must be the original PDF downloaded from the TOCFL system. These are university floors: departments may require more, and NTU states a department may reject an applicant or give a conditional offer where the university minimum is met but the department's is not. Applicants whose previous degree was taught in the relevant language are exempt on a certificate from that institution, as are applicants from countries on NTU's English-speaking list, whom the application system exempts automatically. An applicant short of the bar can accept a conditional offer and has up to one year to produce the certificate, spending it at NTU's Chinese Language Division for Chinese; the offer is cancelled if the year passes. International sophomore entry offers no conditional admission.
