Taipei Tech Partners with TSMC to Launch Taiwan-Japan Semiconductor Degree Program
To address the growing global demand for semiconductor talent, Taipei Tech will launch a new International Bachelor Program of Semiconductor Manufacturing Process and Equipment in the 2025 academic year. Partnered with TSMC, this pioneering international program will enroll 40 Taiwanese and 30 Japanese students, offering a comprehensive education that incorporates hands-on, industry-aligned training.
A Gateway to TSMC and the Semiconductor Industry
This program directly responds to Taiwan’s semiconductor industry’s urgent need for talent, particularly in advanced manufacturing and equipment management. Taipei Tech students enrolled in this program will benefit from direct exposure to TSMC’s industry expertise. The curriculum includes practical training at TSMC’s Newcomer Training Center, equipping students with real-world skills and valuable industry experience.
How Students Can Join the Program
Taiwanese first-year students at Taipei Tech can apply to enter the program in their second year, allowing them to continue their studies without delay. Students interested in joining are encouraged to take foundational courses such as physics, chemistry, and calculus in their first year to prepare for the advanced semiconductor coursework.
Guaranteed Interview Opportunities at TSMC
Participants who complete the program will receive a certificate, significantly boosting their employment prospects. Graduates of the program are guaranteed an interview opportunity with TSMC.
Taipei Tech’s Strategic Role
As a leading institution in mechanical and engineering education, Taipei Tech is uniquely positioned to cultivate semiconductor talent aligned with industry requirements. Its long-standing collaboration with TSMC, including previous successful semiconductor programs, underscores the university’s strength in bridging academic expertise with industry needs.
International and Inclusive Approach
The program is Taipei Tech’s first international undergraduate curriculum focused on semiconductors, designed to foster cultural and professional exchanges between Taiwan and Japan. To facilitate Japanese students’ smooth transition, Taipei Tech provides scholarships, pre-enrollment Mandarin classes, and foundational courses.
Strong Interest from Japanese Students
Recruitment for Japanese students has already begun, with the first round of application reviews completed. Over 20 students from across Japan—including Fukuoka, Tokyo, Miyazaki, and Okinawa—have passed the initial screening. Taipei Tech will soon conduct follow-up interviews to confirm their intent to enroll and will invite admitted students and their parents to visit the campus in Taiwan.
This program represents Taipei Tech’s commitment to addressing global talent shortages, creating cross-cultural educational experiences, and strengthening Taiwan’s position as a global semiconductor powerhouse.
