2025 Faculty and Staff Skill Improvement Training Cultural Training Application Acceptance Announcement

Business Overview

As the globalization of higher education accelerates, such as the enhancement of support for international students and the promotion of collaborative projects with overseas universities, the English proficiency of university faculty and staff has become indispensable as a basic ability.
