Affordable learning in Taiwan

Dr Huang: Malaysian students make up the second highest number of foreign students in the country.

WHILE some Malaysian students harbour dreams of furthering their studies abroad, the price tag on programmes in foreign universities tends to be a stumbling block.

Research carried out by HSBC on 13 countries last year showed that Taiwan was among the most affordable countries for foreign students - third only to Germany and Spain.
