I commend you for your courage and determination in choosing to pursue your education abroad. As someone who once stood in your shoes—an international student entering an unfamiliar country—I understand the challenges you may face at the start. While the journey may be demanding, it is also incredibly rewarding. My own experience allowed me to expand my academic knowledge, connect with people from all over the world, and grow through cultural exchange. I believe your journey will be just as transformative. And remember: you are not alone—we are here to support you every step of the way.

As the youngest college at National Taipei University, established in 2019, ICSI is a dynamic and growing community made up of students from diverse backgrounds. We are united by a shared vision: to explore global knowledge while celebrating our differences. ICSI is committed to providing a warm, inclusive, and engaging learning environment, where education is supported by integrated teaching and research resources. Our programs are thoughtfully designed to respond to both global trends and local needs, ensuring a well-rounded and forward-thinking academic experience.

Our college is located on the Sanxia campus—often praised as the most beautiful campus in northern Taiwan—with convenient access to downtown Taipei. This unique setting offers the perfect balance of vibrant city life and peaceful surroundings, ideal for both study and personal growth.

A New Academic Chapter Begins
As we begin this exciting academic year together, I am truly honored to accompany you on this journey. I look forward to witnessing your growth, achievements, and contributions to our vibrant community.
