‣ Notes
Please note that most of the courses taught in English at NCU are in graduate level but allow junior and senior undergraduate to take. Therefore, an undergraduate student without Chinese Proficiency but with good English Proficiency should come to NCU for exchange on the 3rd year or 4th year of their undergraduate.
the junior and senior students are more eligible because most of the English-taught courses at NCU are in graduate level but allow junior and senior students to take. Please keep this in mind because the students might have problems with course selections. Also, due to the limit of English-lectured undergraduate courses, we do not recommend to send the freshman or sophomore to do the exchange in NCU.
