Language proficiency certificate is not required for the application. Exchange students are selected and recommended by our partner institutions. We rely on our partner institutions to ensure that students coming to study at MCU have a sufficient level of English or Mandarin to cope in an academic environment. It is advised students have a level similar to TOEFL IBT 61, IELTS 5 or TOEIC 550 for English-taught courses// TOCFL B2 level or HSK 4 for Chinese-taught courses.

International students on 1-semester exchange program are strongly recommended to arrange their own general & medical insurance coverage in their home country for their stay in Taiwan. If students have difficulty in arranging insurance before departure, they can consider the option of joining the Foreign Students Health Insurance at their own expense after arriving at MCU.
International students on 1-year exchange program, who have been staying in Taiwan for more than 6 months and already been issued the Alien Residence Certificate (ARC), can join the National Health Insurance, the healthcare system in Taiwan, at their own expense.

Exchange students cannot pre-register for courses in advance from overseas.
After arriving at MCU in the beginning of the new semester and completing the registration procedure, exchange students can enroll, change, add or drop courses online through Student System during the online course add/drop period. Please note that it may be difficult for exchange students to get all the courses they are interested in because a limited number of seats are available for popular classes.

Exchange students are eligible to take courses available at all campus locations, including Chinese-taught programs <https://web.mcu.edu.tw/en> click on Academics, and English-taught programs offered by the International College <http://ic.mcu.edu.tw>. If interested in learning Chinese, exchange students can attend language classes offered by the Mandarin Studies & Culture Center (MSCC) of MCU <http://mscc.mcu.edu.tw/en>.
