Admission

This program is a rigorous and intensive degree program whose primary medium of instruction is English. Applicants must possess an outstanding level of achievement required by the Institute of Foreign Languages for admission. Each candidate must pass an entrance examination arranged by the Institute of Foreign Languages. The exam is designed to test candidates’ English proficiency as well as general knowledge about regional and global events and histories.

PROGRAM DURATION

This program requires FOUR years of full-time study. Each academic year is scheduled into two semesters per year with additional elective (optional) courses conducted between academic years. Students are required to study five regular courses each semester, except for those admitted into the Honors Program, the second semester of fourth year. Each course consists of 30 one-and-half-hour sessions.

GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS

Students must earn a minimum of 120 credit points to be eligible for the award of Bachelor of Arts in International Studies. The total accumulated credit points can be earned by attending required courses (3 credits for each course) and passing the comprehensive examinations or successfully defending their senior project (for students in the Honors Program).

There are two strands for the BA programs at the senior year: (1) the regular Bachelor of Arts in International Studies (with two concentrations: International Relations and International Economics) and (2) the Bachelor of Arts in International Studies (Honors). The Regular Program does not require students to write the senior project but they must pass the comprehensive examinations. The Honors Program requires students to successfully complete and defend the project. Only limited outstanding students (those students with an average score of 80 or above in all the four years of study) are admitted into the Honors Program upon the recommendation from their academic advisors/teachers.
