Study in Taiwan

LiveABC works with Taiwanese universities and education partners abroad to help international students take the step to a degree in Taiwan, and to prepare for it in English and Chinese.

Connecting students with Taiwanese universities

Through our education partners abroad, LiveABC helps Taiwanese universities reach high-school students who are considering a degree in Taiwan.

In November 2025 LiveABC signed a three-way memorandum of understanding with a Taiwanese university of science and technology and a leading Thai education publisher to help Thai high-school students study in Taiwan, featuring the university's semiconductor programme. In February 2026 our international and campus teams travelled to Thailand with the university's leaders, visiting private high schools to present the semiconductor programme and LiveABC's Semiconductor English textbook.

How LiveABC helps

Depending on the project, LiveABC can contribute:

Links between Taiwanese universities and education partners abroad
Programme presentations and recruitment visits at high schools
English textbooks for the field of study, such as Semiconductor English
Chinese courses and learning materials
Short study camps in Taiwan as a first experience

TOCFL: Test of Chinese as a Foreign Language

The Test of Chinese as a Foreign Language (TOCFL) is Taiwan's national test of Chinese proficiency, run by the Steering Committee for the Test of Proficiency–Huayu (SC-TOP) under the Ministry of Education. TOCFL certificates are used when applying to Taiwanese universities and for Taiwan Scholarship applications.

The main test covers listening and reading, and there are separate speaking and writing tests. Results are reported in bands that map to the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR).
