The Laboratory Research & Culture Program  allows students to participate in research in one of NTU’s state-of-the-art labs while enhancing their knowledge of Taiwan through a cultural course consisting of field-trips and lectures. The program involves lab research, lectures, and field trips ensuring students have the opportunity to explore environmental and sociocultural aspects of Taiwan.

Students may be eligible for the Go Global Learning Award.

Students are responsible for the all program fees and cost of travel and living associated with participating in this program. For more information on program and living costs while at National Taiwan University, please check out this page.

Students accepted into this program will be charged the Go Global fee once acceptance has been confirmed.

If you are accepted by a host university for a structured research program, you will be asked to confirm you participation in the program and you will be charged the Go Global fee of $415. The fee will be posted to your SSC account following confirmation of your acceptance. Go Global will contact you with complete information on how to pay the fee.

You will not be able to make payment in-person at Brock Hall (Vancouver), University Centre (Okanagan), the Go Global office or your financial institution. You cannot pay this fee directly through your financial institution’s online banking interface as payments made through this method will only be counted towards your tuition and your Go Global fee will remain unpaid.

You will receive a $93.25 refund if you withdraw from the program in writing to your Go Global Advisor before March 31, 2018. If your notification of acceptance from the host university is after the refund deadline, then you have two weeks from date of acceptance to withdraw and receive a partial refund. Please consult with your Go Global advisor if you have any questions.
