Summer Program (7)
College of Law Summer Program provides three weeks of intensive and substantial courses about international trade law and practice. Our top-notch instructors along with the high academic quality of our courses even allow you to obtain school credits. It is an excellent opportunity for students to familiarize themselves with theoretical and practical knowledge about international trade law and lawyering.
We have put the project budget to a good exertion in invigorating academics and broadening international interaction with a view to becoming the top leading law school throughout the Chinese speaking world. To be specfic, we've paid more attention to the diversity of research and teaching areas, and an international center has been set up to be direct contact, with a special staff on it. It is fair to say with this project and the plan laid out we can achieve all goals in the near future and we will be here proud to present to visitors.
For more details :
NTU has 2 types of accommodation available. We offer shared accommodations and single studio apartments.
- Shared Accommodation:
There are two types of shared accommodations: 2 bed dorms and 4 bed dorms. Generally, shared accommodations are quite limited due to the high demand, so students wishing to take advantage of these dorm rooms must register immediately upon their admission to NTU. These dorm rooms are extremely affordable but may not be suitable for students who desire greater privacy and independence. On the other hand, students wishing to master Chinese language and meeting new friends may discover this type of accommodation to be quite useful.
- Studio Apartments
NTU has partnered with private corporation to provide alternative housing options to students. There are two apartment blocks available to students offering nearly identical style studio apartments. Students can take advantage of Prince Dorms or Shui Yuan Dorms. Each room has a bed, a desk, closet space and a personal bathroom with standup shower. These studio apartments are significantly more expensive, costing approximately 300USD per month. Students are also responsible for all utilities which are about 50USD per month.
Although this type of accommodation offers greater privacy to students, the Corporation has a number of regulations that should be considered by students before selecting a residence. No visitors are allowed after 11pm, cooking is forbidden and no overnight guests are allowed on residence.
Please consult the links below for more information on residence. Please note: upon your admission to NTU, OIA will send you a residence package with all required information. Thus, students do not need to make individual dorm applications and OIA will assist students with housing. As with all campus accommodations, there are no guarantees that students will receive an onsite room.

NTU Insurance Policy
For foreign students, we advise you to purchase your own insurance in your home country before coming to Taiwan.
Please provide a proof of accident and medical insurance worth a minimum of TWD 1,000,000 (approx. USD 34,000) valid for the entire exchange period.
If you hold an Alien Residence Card (ARC) and have met the six-month minimum residency requirement, you can choose to join the National Health Insurance (NHI) with limited coverage. (Source: OIA.)
NTU Health Exam Policy
To meet NTU and government requirements, all incoming students must take a health exam by a qualified doctor and complete each examination listed on the NTU Incoming Exchange/Visiting Students Health Exam Form. You can complete your examination and submission in one of the following ways：
Get the health exam done in your home country and upload the NTU Health Exam Form by September 01 (First semester) / February 01 (Second semester), or submit it in to the department office on registration day.
If you failed to complete the health exam in your home country, you can choose to take the exam at NTU Hospital (instructions) once you arrive in Taiwan and submit the results to OIA. However, if you need to change to a Resident Visa, be aware that you will have to take the health exam for the Resident Visa in a Ministry-designated hospital, in which NTU Hospital is not included. You can also take both the Resident Visa and NTU Health Exam forms at a designated hospital and ask them to fill out the results on both forms. As it takes 5-7 days for the health exam results, students who take the exam in Taiwan and cannot receive the report by registration day should sign an agreement to submit the health exam form within two weeks.
Please be advised that failing to submit health examination will prohibit you from completing the registration. (Source: OIA.)
Students who carefully manage their budgets should live quite comfortably. Due to the shortage of land, housing and electricity is quite expensive, however food and transportation is very affordable in Taiwan. Below is a rough financial guide to living and studying at NTU. For detailed breakdown of tuition fees, student should check Financial Affairs Office which is responsible for announcing tuition and collecting tuition fees.
PLEASE NOTE:as of 2011, new incoming international students will face tuition increase. Please refer to the office for more information.
(1) Books:
The cost of books depends on the courses you take. Academic books in Chinese are relatively inexpensive, ranging between 100 to 300NTD. Western language books are much more expensive and range between 1000 to 3000NTD. Typically, at graduate level, most of reading materials can be obtained from the web, however students enrolled in the undergraduate program should budget around 100USD towards books.
(2) Meals:
Eating is a major pastime in Taiwan and inexpensive food can be found at every street corner. Following its invasion of Taiwan, 7-11 convenience stores can now be seen at every street block throughout Taiwan and offer simple meals starting at 55NTD.
Students eating on campus should budget approximately NT$6,000 (about US$200) per month and NT$8,000 per month (about US$267) off campus.
(2.1) Meals on the Main Campus
A: Dormitory Cafeterias
There are cafeterias located in the following dormitory buildings: 1st, 5th, and 9th dorms for women, and 1st, 2nd, and 7th dorms for men. All serve breakfast (6:30-10:30 AM), lunch, dinner and late night snacks. Sandwiches and drinks are served for breakfast. Lunch and dinner is served in cafeteria style setup. Various snacks and noodle dishes are served late into the night. In addition, there are convenience stores alongside each cafeteria. There is also a cafeteria in the No. 2 Graduate Student Dormitory, but it serves only lunch (11:00 AM-1:00 PM) and dinner (5:00-6:30 PM). The cafeteria in the Student Activity Center, next to the main library is the largest, with food served almost without interruption.
B: On-campus Chain Restaurants
The campus is served by a number of chain eateries (fast food, coffee shops and bakeries). Some examples include Subway, Yamazaki, Doutor Coffee Shop, and Dante Coffee Shop. Most of these eateries offer student discounts, so prepare to show your NTU ID during payment!
C: NTU Jiangsu-Zhejiang style Restaurant
NTU has on campus restaurant serving Jiangsu and Zhejiang style cuisine called “Yuan Chao Guang Tang”. It is open to NTU students and to the general public.
D: Boxed lunches on campus
A number of convenience stores on campus also sell pre-packaged “boxed meals” (biandang in Chinese pinyin). These include the 7-11, the “Siao Fu Shop” (located next to the Common Classroom Building) and the “Little Siao Fu Shop” located near the side entrance to the campus on Zhoushan Road.
E: Recreation Center Restaurant
This facility serves breakfast (6:30-10:30 AM), lunch, dinner and late night snacks. Sandwiches and drinks are served for breakfast. Lunch and dinner are served cafeteria-style.
(2.2) Off-campus Dining
There is no virtually no neighborhood in Taipei that is not packed with tasty, inexpensive (or expensive!) restaurants and street vendors. The Gongguan area around the Main Campus is especially convenient since it is one of the liveliest neighborhoods in Taipei. There, one may find countless restaurants serving Chinese food, fast food, Western and other ethnic cuisines and ice cream parlors, in addition to many coffee shops. Moreover, Gongguan MRT station is located right next to the Shui Yuan Market (水源) where students can purchase fresh meat and vegetable products.
The neighborhoods across the street from the campus entrances on Xinsheng Road, Zhoushan Road, and Xinhai Road are also rich in food offerings. The most prominent landmark on Xinsheng is McDonald’s, where NTU students meet up to get lunch and escape the summer heat. Also check out the NTU Ice Store, which is one of the oldest shops in this area. The many “bubble tea” shops and traditional Taiwanese shaved iced dessert shops are common places for students to hang out. Zhoushan Road offers a small number of food stalls, while Xinhai features coffee shops and a beer house as well as still more restaurants and street vendors.
Choices are far fewer near the College of Law since it is located at the back side of the campus, however there are some restaurants and coffee shops in the surrounding area. The College is not too far from Taipei Main Station which can be reached by either the MRT or by bus.
(3) Clothing
As all cosmopolitan cities, Taipei has a large selection of clothing boutiques and department stores. Since Taiwan imports most of its clothing, clothing (particularly the western brands) tend to be more expensive than in the U.S. Students who study on a limited budget should visit the area around Gongguan to shop for discount clothing. Taipei’s many night markets (Shida is the closest to NTU, but Shilin, Jauho, and Tonghua night markets are easily accessible by the MRT) are good for deals on clothing, shoes, and accessories.
(4) Housing:
The cost for on-campus dormitory is set by the school, and costs aproximately NT$5,100 (about US$170) per semester and includes utilities. Renting a single room in a shared apartment outside campus costs about NT$6000-8000 per month , while a studio apartment (a room with an attached bathroom) is offered for about NT$8,000 to 12,000 per month (about US$260 to 400) depending on the area of the city. The Tsui Mama Housing Service, located off Roosevelt Road Section 3 near the Main Campus provides housing searches free of charge.
(5) Transportation:
Transportation costs in Taipei vary depending on the mode of transportation. Bus rides are NT$15 (about 50 cents US), or 12NTD with Easy Card. Taipei has a world class metro system known as the MRT and its ticket price is measured according to the distance traveled. Minimum journey is 20NTD and maximum is NT$55. Generally Easy Card is used when traveling on metro, however single journey tokens are also available. We strongly encourage you to use MRT when traveling around Taipei due to its reliability, safety and convenience.
Many students buy second hand scooters or motorcycles. The cost of gas is about NT$30 per liter. Usually 150NTD is enough for a full tank of fuel which will last about 5 days. Since campus is quite large, most students purchase bicycles and NTU has a number of stores that sell and repair bikes for a very reasonable fee. Students can catch a taxi almost anywhere in Taipei. Taxies have a minimal charge of 70NTD and a trip from the campus to Main Station costs around 170NTD. Students taking taxi after 11P.M must pay additional 20NTD surcharge.
(6) Recreation:
The cost of recreational activities in Taipei can vary anywhere from zero to thousands of dollars! For those on a budget, there are many inexpensive museums and public spaces near the campus, including Taipei Main Station, Taiwan History Museum, 228 Memorial Park, CKS Memorial Hall, the Botanical Gardens, and the National Museum of History.
Taiwan is an amazing island since it has everything: mountains, beaches, hot springs and jungles. The island is very connected by roads, high speed train network, buses, trains and airports. Students are encouraged to explore cities outside of Taipei and experience wonders of Taiwan. The cost of travelling outside Taipei depends on the mode of transportation and the accommodation type. In-country tourism is well developed and students are encouraged to check travel agency listings for deals and travel ideas. For example, a 4 day trip around East Coast with a tour group typically costs 6000NTD, however costs are much lower if you are travelling with friends and stay in hostels.
Tuition Fees:
Students should consult OIA for latest updates on tuition fees. Tuition Fee

NTU Law Journal
National Taiwan University Law Journal was founded in 1971. Its mission is to provide a forum for regular publication of academic papers, aiming at promoting and enhancing domestic legal scholarship. Over the past several decades, our journal has established itself as the leading and best law journal in Taiwan as well as in the entire Mandarin-speaking world. The NTU Law Journal has been listed by the TSSCI (Taiwan Social Science Citation Index) since the index's launch in 2000. This journal is now published on a quarterly basis, appearing in March, June, September and December. Starting from 2011, a special issue is to be published in November. On top of the reviews of developments in the laws of Taiwan, this annual special issue calls for papers on a topic of significance in the hope of stimulating more-in-depth legal research and academic dialogues.
NTU Law Review
The first English Law Journal of NTU, the National Taiwan University Law Review (NTU Law Review), was published in 2006. NTU Law Review is selected to be included in Taiwan Social Science Citation Index (TSSCI) by National Science Council, Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI) by Clarivate, and accessible in many internationally renowned legal databases such as Westlaw and HeinOnline. NTU Law Review publishes twice a year, with occasional publications of symposia. NTU Law Review aims at serving as an international platform for scholars in Taiwan, Asia and beyond to share their academic contributions to legal developments.
NTU Law Series
National Taiwan University Law Series is a series of law books written by our faculty members. Publications of the series include treatise-form books and collection of essays. Since its first publication in 1975, the Series has published a total of 237 books as of December 2020. To ensure a high academic quality, all books must go through a rigid double-blind review process before their publication.
Asian Journal of WTO & International Health Law and Policy
Asian Journal of WTO & International Health Law and Policy (AJWH) of the Asian Center for WTO & International Health Law and Policy (ACWH), College of Law, National Taiwan University, is published at the initiative of Dr. Chang-fa Lo, the former Dean of the College of Law, National Taiwan University. The AJWH is published semiannually, one in March and the other one in September. It purports to provide a deep understanding, close examination and constructive debates of law and policy on trade practices and health systems in the region of Asia, as well as the multi-disciplinary relationship between trade and public health, and the relationship between the multilateral trade regimes and the international health systems. The ultimate aims of the AJWH are to provide profound and constructive perception on the practices directly and/or indirectly related to the World Trade Organization, as well as the international health organizations, and in the same way, to contribute to the development of these practices.
The AJWH has been indexed in Social Science Citation Index (SSCI) since 2008. The AJWH invites the submission of manuscripts from the legal, political, economic, health and inter-disciplinary perspectives on the issues relevant to the World Trade Organization and the international health regimes. All manuscripts will subject to the external reveiw process and the approval of the Senior Committee Members and the Committee Members, so as to ensure high standards and quality of the materials. The AJWH also welcomes book-reviews, notes and student notes. The AJWH presents itself as academic and practicing references for trade- and/or health-related scholars, practitioners and policy makers, and hence it welcomes the subscription of readers from the legal, economic, political, health, policy-making or multi-disciplinary backgrounds. Speeches, articles, book reviews, notes and students' notes in the AJWH do not reflect the views of the members of the Editorial Committee of the AJWH.
Contemporary Asia Arbitration Journal
Contemporary Asia Arbitration Journal (CAAJ) is co-published by the Chinese Arbitration Association, Taipei (CAA, Taipei), the National Taiwan University Press, and Asian Center for WTO & International Health Law and Policy, College of Law, National Taiwan University (ACWH). The CAAJ is to be published semiannually, one in May and the other one in November. The aim of the journal is to encourage the publication of original papers covering international arbitration issues. The ultimate aims of the CAAJ are to provide profound and constructive perception on the practices directly and/or indirectly related to the contemporary arbitration issues, and in the same way, to contribute to the development of these practices.
The CAAJ has been indexed in Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI) since 2018. CAAJ welcomes submissions from the legal, political, economic and inter-disciplinary perspectives on the issues relevant to international arbitration, which includes commercial arbitration/other alternative dispute resolution (ADR) and investment arbitration (contract-based/treaty-based investor-state arbitration). All manuscripts will be subject to the peer-review process and the approvals of the Senior Committee Members and the Committee Members, so as to ensure high standards and quality of the publication. The CAAJ also welcomes the submission of reviews on published books, and notes and student notes.

The CAAJ presents itself as academic and practicing references for arbitration and/or trade-related scholars, practitioners and policy makers, and hence it welcomes the subscription of readers from the legal, economic, political, policy-making or multi-disciplinary backgrounds.

Various Research Centers focusing on different areas of law have been set up within the College of Law to help students specialize in particular areas of law. These research centers have proven to be extremely successful and have attracted researchers from other departments and universities. The research centers promote interdisciplinary synergy and ensure that research responds to the needs of social and economic development.
Generally, research centers engage in organizing academic gatherings, hosting distinguished scholars from prestigious legal institutions, as well promoting exchange programs with foreign institutions so as to introduce international perspectives on current legal issues. These research centers help integrate human and research resources of the College and enhance academic interaction and communication between students and professors.
Some centers function as think-tanks, offering legal consultations to the government. For example, the Asian Center for WTO and International Health Law and Policy established in 2003, has provided numerous legal consultations to the government, not to mention several position paper and WTO proposals, in its first year of operation. This research center assists the Taiwanese government in economic and trade negotiations. The center provides over one hundred and fifty services and is enormously appreciated by the government and has gained substantial recognition for the College of Law.
The long term goal of NTU College of Law is to establish closer and more regular academic relations with similar centers in other countries.

- NTU Outstanding International Graduate Student Scholarship
The Taiwan Scholarship is a generous scholarship program run by Taiwan Government in cooperation with Ministry of Education and Ministry of Foreign Affairs and awards students 30,000NTD (1000USD) per month for 2 to 3 years, depending on the program type pursued by students. Students are required to apply to their local TECO office for this award. Please note, this scholarship is quite competitive, since there are approximately 2 to 3 awards per geographic area available.
National Taiwan University also provides various entrance awards to students demonstrating financial need. These scholarships range from 10,000 to 20,000NTD/monthly for 1 year. Students may reapply for the award after its expiration; however there is no guarantee that it will be available.
Students should also visit various church organizations and rotary clubs, since they often provide generous funding to students wishing to pursue higher education. For example, Taiwan Rotary Club and Tien Mu Rotary frequently award generous grants to international students wishing to study in Taiwan.
NTU College of Law has emergency student loans that range from 10,000 to 30,000NTD and are available to students who experience unexpected difficulties or emergencies. Please contact the administration office for more information.
