Comprehensive Learning Experience

Our programs go beyond technical skills. We understand that moving to a new country while pursuing creative education brings unique challenges. That's why we've built something different here in Taiwan.

  • 18-month intensive program starting September 2025
  • Small cohorts of 12-15 international students per semester
  • Industry partnerships with Taiwan's growing media sector
  • Mandarin language support alongside creative coursework
  • Cultural integration workshops and local mentor partnerships
  • Portfolio development with real client projects

You'll work on actual projects while building connections that matter. Our graduates don't just learn editing – they become part of Taiwan's creative community.

Support That Actually Works

Being an international student means dealing with visa paperwork, finding housing, understanding local customs, and somehow focusing on your studies. We get it.

Housing Assistance

Pre-approved housing partnerships near campus. We help with deposits, lease agreements, and connecting you with other students. No surprises or hidden costs.

Visa & Legal Support

Dedicated immigration specialist who handles student visa renewals, work permit applications, and answers those 3am panic questions about documentation.

Peer Networks

Alumni mentorship program connects you with graduates working in Taiwan and internationally. Real advice from people who've been exactly where you are.
