National Chengchi University

What you'll study

The MBA curriculum combines core management disciplines with elective specialisations and a practical capstone. Core modules typically cover financial accounting, managerial finance, marketing management, organisational behaviour, strategic management, operations and supply chain, and quantitative methods for decision making. Students also study leadership and ethics, business law and corporate governance.

Elective options allow concentration in areas such as finance and investment, technology and innovation management, international business, marketing analytics, entrepreneurship and social enterprise. Many cohorts undertake a capstone project, consultancy practicum or thesis, giving students an opportunity to apply concepts to real organisational challenges. Coursework includes case studies, group projects, simulations and presentations; internship opportunities and industry seminars are often available through the university's corporate partnerships.

Entry requirements

• Academic qualification: A recognised bachelor's degree (or equivalent) from an accredited institution.
• Work experience: Many applicants have some professional experience; specific minimums vary between streams, with executive routes expecting several years of managerial responsibility.
• Standardised tests: Applicants may be asked to submit GMAT, GRE or an equivalent; some pathways accept work experience in lieu of test scores. English‑taught programmes typically require proof of English proficiency if the applicant's prior degree was not delivered in English.
• Language: The programme is offered in both Mandarin and English streams; applicants should meet the language requirements for the chosen stream.
• Supporting documents: Academic transcripts, curriculum vitae, personal statement, and one or two letters of recommendation. Shortlisted candidates are often invited to an interview.

Career prospects

Graduates enter a wide range of careers across private, public and third sectors. Typical roles include management trainee, product or brand manager, business development manager, financial analyst, operations manager, strategy consultant and project leader. The programme is also commonly used as a springboard to entrepreneurial ventures or to transition into specialist areas such as corporate finance, investment management, supply chain and digital marketing.

Working in Taipei and the broader Asia‑Pacific region is a common outcome given the university's strong corporate connections; alumni work in multinational corporations, regional headquarters, consulting firms, start‑ups and government agencies. The degree also provides preparation for further research or doctoral study for those interested in academic careers.
