Blockchain Education for International Students in Taiwan

Moving to a new country for education brings excitement and challenges. We get it—between visa paperwork and finding your way around Kaohsiung, adding complex tech skills might feel overwhelming.

But here's the thing: blockchain skills matter everywhere. And starting your learning journey while you're already adapting to something new? That's actually a strength.

Our programs run on schedules that work around academic calendars, with enrollment starting September 2025. Classes accommodate different time zones and language comfort levels.

Find Your Starting Point

Everyone arrives with different backgrounds. Some of you studied computer science back home. Others haven't touched code since high school. Both paths work—you just need different entry points.

1

No Programming Experience?

Start with blockchain fundamentals. Learn how distributed systems work before worrying about code. We cover concepts through practical examples—like how smart contracts handle escrow for international payments.

2

Some Coding Background?

Jump into smart contract development. You'll work with Solidity and build actual decentralized apps. Projects include creating token systems and exploring DeFi protocols.

3

Advanced Developer?

Focus on protocol design and security. Audit smart contracts, explore consensus mechanisms, and work on cross-chain solutions. Real problems, practical solutions.

Support That Actually Helps

Being an international student means dealing with stuff beyond coursework. We've structured support around what students actually tell us they need.

Language Flexibility

All materials in English, but technical terms get explained multiple ways. Recorded sessions mean you can review at your own pace. Live sessions include time for clarification without pressure.

Schedule Accommodation

Classes run evenings Taiwan time to work around university schedules. Can't make a live session? Everything's recorded. Core content is asynchronous—participate when it fits your day.

Documentation Assistance

Need proof of enrollment for visa purposes? We provide proper documentation. Questions about work permits for internships? We help navigate that process based on current Taiwan regulations.

Community Connection

Study groups form naturally, but we facilitate initial connections. Monthly meetups in Kaohsiung for those who want face-to-face interaction. Online channels stay active for quick questions.

Local Industry Links

Taiwan's tech sector includes blockchain companies looking for talent. We connect students with local meetups and introduce you to professionals working in the field. Some partnerships lead to project opportunities.

What Students Actually Say

Portrait of Kasper Lindholm
"Started with zero coding knowledge during my exchange semester. The fundamentals track made sense even when I was jet-lagged and confused. By week eight, I built my first smart contract—nothing fancy, but it worked. Now I'm considering blockchain for my thesis project."
Kasper Lindholm
Business student from Finland, completed Fundamentals Track early 2025
Portrait of Elif Yalcin
"Juggling university classes with this program seemed impossible at first. The recorded sessions saved me—watched most content at 1.5x speed between my own lectures. Projects were challenging but felt relevant. Connected with a local startup through the program's network for my capstone project."
Elif Yalcin
Computer science student from Turkey, completed Developer Track 2025

Next Enrollment: September 2025

Applications open June 2025. Classes fill up—typically 20-25 students per track to keep things manageable. Early applicants get priority consideration.
