The NSTC Taiwan Scholarships at SOAS offer an exciting opportunity for students and researchers interested in Taiwan Studies and related fields. Supported by Taiwan’s National Science and Technology Council and hosted at SOAS University of London, the scholarship aims to strengthen academic exchange and foster new research connections between Taiwan and the international scholarly community. The scheme provides financial support for outstanding students pursuing advanced study and research, while encouraging deeper engagement with Taiwan’s society, politics, culture, technology, and regional significance.
Scholars will be closely involved with SOAS world-renowned Centre of Taiwan Studies, further enhancing its outputs by being active participants in our research and events programmes.
