For two consecutive days, the lectures on studying Germany attracted large audience, showing that Germany’s excellent education system and quality, reasonable tuition and living expenses and other advantages make it the first choice for Taiwanese students when they plan to study abroad, on par with English-speaking countries.

The EEFT is co-organized with the joint effort of the British Council, Campus France Taiwan / French Office in Taipei, and DAAD Information Center Taipei. Every country has made great efforts to promote their higher education institutions in Taiwan after Covid-19, and raised awareness among students within the past years. The feedback received from the exhibitors are very positive. Exhibitors perceiving high quality with the local students and nice service with the organizer. We will continue promoting Europe’s education and encouraging Taiwanese students to choose Europe as their future destination to pursue their studies as well as bridging connection between European higher education institutions and local universities.
