We are Family! Welcoming the Arrival of International Students to Transworld Institute of Technology

“The Program of Fashion Styling” under the 29th Session for the Overseas Youth Vocational Training Program with joint efforts made by the Department of Styling and Cosmetology and the Center for International Affairs of Transworld Institute of Technology (TIT), and the Executive Yuan‘s Overseas Compatriot Affairs Commission (OCAC) has been successfully launched and recruited 43 Malaysian students. According to the statistics complied by OCAC, a majority of prospective students interested in styling and cosmetology chose to study at TIT as their priority, thereby making TIT the most popular options in the said category among Taiwanese universities & colleges! TIT officials and teachers feel relieved to learn of such a piece of good news after long-term preparation and dedication.


The Overseas Youth Vocational Training Program was established by OCAC in 1963. To date, 11,547 students from 37 countries, most notably Malaysia, have attended the Sessions. The Program aims to equip overseas compatriot youths with manufacturing techniques and practical knowledge for use in various walks of life, so that they will be able to contribute to the prosperity of their home country. The 29th Session is currently under way with Transworld Institute of Technology and other 16 colleges and universities participating.

Good things come in pairs! With the approval from the Ministry of Education, TIT started to offer the Spring Intake for international degree-seeking students from 2010. All of the 8 students are from Malaysia majoring in Styling and Cosmetology. On the other hand, 20 Mainland Chinese students attended TIT’s Short-term Exchange Program. This also marked the first time that we have 3 students from Fujian Province. These Chinese students will study at several departments for four months while visiting different places in Taiwan at leisure. All in all, these unprecedented achievements have helped TIT gain popularity in Malaysia and Mainland China!
