BACS-Taiwan Mandarin Enrichment Programme

British Association for Chinese Studies

BACS administers a competitive scholarship on behalf of the Taiwan Ministry of Education, one-year language programmes at approved centres in Taiwan. Application deadlines are usually around January of each year, for studentships to be taken up that summer/fall. For information about approved language centers in Taiwan, see http://www.studyintaiwan.org

A monthly stipend of NT$25,000 is provided to cover fees and to contribute to maintenance expenses. The scheme is open to any student on a full-time or part-time Chinese language course provided the student holds a full UK passport. All applicants must have a basic grounding in Chinese.

Priority will be given to students who are currently enrolled or expect to enrol in a postgraduate degree in which fluency in written or spoken Chinese is a requirement, who show evidence of a research plan leading towards post-graduate studies or who have other career plans where fluency in Chinese is a requirement
