International Dual Degree Bachelor Program (IDDBP)
Each student who successfully completes the Program, including its compulsory mobility requirement, shall receive two separate diplomas certifying the education received, one shall be ‘Sarjana Teknik (S.T.)’ issued and signed by the Rector of Petra Christian University (PCU) and the other shall be ‘Bachelor of Science (B.S.)’ issued and signed by the President of National Taiwan University of Science and Technology (TAIWAN TECH).
This program requires that the participating students spend at least 8 semesters to complete the bachelor’s degree in both participating institutions. The participating students will attend the first four semesters at CE-PCU and the last four semesters at CCE-TAIWAN TECH. The participating students must fulfill the academic requirements of obtaining the Bachelor Degree specified by both institutions. The participating students should pay the tuition fee at the institute where they study.
The prospective students to register in the International Dual Degree Bachelor Program (IDDBP) will be selected by CE-PCU and CCE-TAIWAN TECH when they apply for IDDBP. The students will come to CCE-TAIWAN TECH after finishing all required courses at CE-PCU.
Degree

NTUST is a gateway to learn advanced knowledge and technology. It also drills and facilitates me to explore deeply the different fields of engineering, especially at structural engineering. Specifically, many focused research laboratories and outstanding faculty here are available for being an advisor and good friend for me to build and produce the best academic research experience and environment. Moreover, I think something that is really cool is about kind people outside campus, exciting places with good taste of food to explore. For sure, I have found a good reason to enjoy the valuable study here.
Taiwan has been a home away from home. I have the chance to meet new and amazing people from different countries while studying at NTUST. The school does not only offer academic support to students but also promotes cultural exchange through cultural exhibitions for different countries. While studying, not only I am learning more than just aspects of theory of engineering, but I also have chances to go out to the field, and see what the engineering world is all about outside of class. Taiwan is a very advanced country compared to home; while I am here, I learn new things almost every day.
My master degree research was about steel structure and steel reinforced concrete structure. I took 8 courses during my study. The assignments that were given in class encourage us to practice our intuition in solving the specific problem. Aside from studying in the class, I spent most of my time in laboratory doing experiments and analysis to complete my thesis. Although the tasks were a lot and tough, they could enhance my experience and be useful in the future. I really enjoyed my time in NTUST because it has many good facilities such as the dormitory, canteen, sport yard, library, convenience store, and post office. All of these facilities made us feel like staying in our own home where the needs can be easily found in the campus area.
