Office of International Affairs at Chung Shan Medical University (OIA at CSMU)

OIA Mission

This office is primarily responsible for managing CSMU's external communications, especially in establishing opportunities for international exchanges between faculty members and students. Our focus includes fostering international academic and educational collaborations, providing students with opportunities to broaden their international perspectives. Additionally, we aim to incorporate diverse cultures into our campus, allowing students the chance to engage with different cultural backgrounds. The objective is to facilitate learning, understanding, and ultimately, the development of respect for cultural differences. We aim to assist students in developing a comprehensive and culturally aware global perspective.

This office actively promotes connections with higher education institutions worldwide. If you are interested in reaching out to us, please feel free to contact us (cs1311@csmu.edu.tw)

Partners

CSMU has hundreds of partner institutions (for detailed listings, please refer to the linked information below). These partner institutions are spread across continents. In recent years, there have been hundreds of foreign students or visiting scholars coming to CSMU for academic visits, short-term or long-term student exchanges, and professional training. Each year, CSMU also sends a considerable number of students to various parts of the world for academic or cultural exchanges.

In the future, CSMU's Office of International Affairs (OIA) will continue its efforts to expand opportunities for foreign students and teachers to come to our university. We will encourage and create opportunities for our students to embark on exchanges and visits worldwide. Additionally, some partner universities offer CSMU students opportunities for further education, whether through dual-degree programs or jointed degree studies, providing our students with a broader range of choices for their future career planning.
