2018 TaiwanICDF International Higher Education Scholarship Program 1. About the TaiwanICDF The International Cooperation and Development Fund (TaiwanICDF) is dedicated to boosting socio-economic development, enhancing human resources and promoting economic relations in a range of developing partner countries. We also offer humanitarian assistance and provide aid in the event of natural disasters or international refugee crises. To carry out our mission, we offer a range of assistance that centers on four core operations: lending and investment, technical cooperation, humanitarian assistance, and international education and training. Our Fund is used to make direct or indirect investments and to finance lending operations. Revenues generated by the Fund are used to support our bilateral or multilateral technical cooperation projects, humanitarian assistance operations and education and training. Every new project from the TaiwanICDF proceeds according to a rigorous project cycle and is backed by mutual covenants signed in cooperation with relevant stakeholders. Our projects are designed to address the strategic development goals of each of our partner countries, pay due consideration to associated regional trends, and maximize results by employing the right combination of capital and technical cooperation. Ultimately, our work is tailor-made to the local needs of each partner country. Our assistance covers a variety of contemporary development issues such as environmental protection, public health, agriculture, education, and information and communications technology. We are also acting to improve human resources and build institutional capacity at the TaiwanICDF itself. We believe that as a stronger, more professional organization, we will be better placed to advise decision-making bodies within our government. Efforts to improve our own organization will also help us to deepen the coverage of our projects and transfer technological know-how to our partners. We aspire to making the most effective use of manpower and resources, and replicating and adapting successful experiences from one partner country to another. 1
2018 TaiwanICDF International Higher Education Scholarship Program 2. Overview of the International Higher Education Scholarship Program International education and training from the TaiwanICDF shares Taiwan’s own development experiences with developing partner countries around the world. Our aim is to help these partner countries cultivate and nurture a talented pool of human resources. To achieve this objective, our International Education and Training Department performs a range of interconnected operations. Our in-depth, professional workshops are dedicated to contemporary trends in development, while our higher education scholarship program draws on expertise at Taiwanese universities to strengthen know-how in critical disciplines. We also cooperate with a number of international organizations on training projects. Our International Higher Education Scholarship Program was initiated in 1998 when we joined forces with a group of Taiwanese universities to offer scholarships for a number of English-language courses, up to and including Ph.D. level. The program enables talented young citizens to come to Taiwan to pursue their higher education and follow course materials and learning objectives that are specifically designed to address key development issues. The program provides full financial support for tuition and living expenses, and having grown in scope over the years, now covers 34 courses from 21 universities — 11 bachelor's, 21 master's and two Ph.D. programs. These courses focus on the development needs of our partner countries by addressing issues such as tropical agriculture, aquatic sciences, business administration, information technology, human resource development, medicine and public health, or various fields of engineering. All of these disciplines are in high demand in our developing partner countries. We aim to boost social development and economic growth by generating a pool of quality human resources. 2

The IMBA program is designed to develop qualified candidates to be leaders in the field of international business, with a special focus on the Asia-Pacific region. With the continued growth of Asia’s emerging economies and the expansion of firms on a global scale, the NCCU IMBA offers the perfect venue for international candidates to learn about Asian economies. The IMBA program requires a minimum of 42 credits to graduate. Required courses account for 25 credits, including Business Quantitative Methods, Corporate Social Responsibility and Ethics, Financial Management, Leaders Forum, Leadership and Team Building, Accounting, Managerial Economics, Management Information Systems, Marketing Management, and Strategic Management. The elective courses fall under four areas of concentration: Entrepreneurship, Finance, Management in Asia and Marketing. Students have the option of taking the required number of courses to achieve a concentration or take courses across concentrations to graduate with a General MBA. The IMBA program provides an optimal international and multicultural learning environment by maintaining balance between Taiwanese and international students admitted to the program. The international students represent professionals from over 35 countries in five continents. They are guided by our faculty base comprised of academics and industry experts in Taiwan and from around the world. The IMBA faculty come from three equally qualified pools of local and international talent. A third of the instructors hail from faculty members of the College of Commerce at National Chengchi University (NCCUC), most of whom have earned Ph.Ds from prestigious universities around the world. Another third of the faculty represent renowned scholars from top overseas business schools as visiting instructors and a final third of the faculty are comprised of industry senior executives who have long standing real-world business experience. The international aspects of each and every area of the IMBA, including the courses, student body, and faculty, make this program truly unique. What further differentiates the IMBA from other MBA programs is the expertise integrated in the special Asian featured courses that we provide under the Management in Asia concentration. Aside from developing a global view in world business trends, it is just as essential to gain an Asian perspective of business. Our program is the perfect conduit for learning all about this growing region. ENTRY REQUIREMENTS 19
