At the center of the AI supply chain
Taiwan doesn’t just make the chips that run the world’s AI — it assembles the servers and manufactures the devices too. Studying here puts you inside the industry defining the next fifty years.
Of the world’s foundry market
TSMC’s share of global pure-foundry revenue — fabricating for NVIDIA, Apple, AMD and Qualcomm.
Of Taiwan’s exports
Servers and AI hardware, as a share of 2026 merchandise exports — up from roughly 30% a year earlier.
From campus to the science parks
By high-speed rail from campus to either end of the supply chain — Hsinchu or Tainan.
Your case studies, field visits and job search all happen inside this industry.

Why Taiwan, Why Tunghai

“I discovered a tightly knit community, rich with diversity, knowledge, and connection.”
Organisational structure, finance, programming, supply chain, entrepreneurship — then an exchange semester in Austria. She left with skills that transcended borders.
Who will be sitting next to me?
30–40 students. 10+ nationalities. Small enough that you actually know everyone — diverse enough that everyone comes from somewhere different.
