StudyQA — PhD: Photonics — National Chiao Tung University

Description Contents Requirements Funding

Facing the future competitive environment with globalization, our country has imperious demands to build up an international environment which can develop scientists and technicians with globalization. The establishment of University System of Taiwan (UST) International Ph.D. Program in Photonics (IPPP) will help with the work of setting up the international environment in Taiwan to develop Photonics scientists and technicians with globalization.

We take pride in offering quality Ph.D. degree program in the area of photonics, such as nanophotonics, green photonics, biophotonics, optics, display, solid state lighting, and so on, from the four top universities in Taiwan. Our mission is to equip international Ph.D. students with the knowledge and ability to become outstanding and highly competitive in today’s global job market. For every international student, we also provide comprehensive assistance and support in both academic studies and personal matters. As a liaison with administrative and academic departments among the four universities, our role is to assist international students to successfully achieve their educational goals. If you wish to be professional in Photonics and would like to explore Chinese language and cultures, the UST International Ph.D. Program in Photonics will be a perfect choice for you.
