Chapter 238: Going to Taiwan for exchanges

There are many famous universities in Hong Kong and Taiwan, especially in Taiwan.

National Taiwan University, Tsinghua University, Taiwan Jiaotong University, Taiwan Normal University, National Chengchi University, Yang Ming, Central University, CUHK, Chenggong, Taiwan University of Science and Technology, these universities are as famous, and the world ranking is similar to the 985 universities in the mainland.

In addition to many famous universities in Taiwan, there are also many ordinary colleges and universities. There are 171 colleges and universities in Taiwan, but the total population is only about 23 million.

It can be said that Taiwan's colleges and universities are somewhat "overflowing," and media reports that Taiwanese students can even go to university as long as their total score exceeds 10 points.

It also shows the popularity of higher education in Taiwan.

In this respect, it is indeed more powerful than the mainland.

Compared with the well-known schools above, Shih Chien University's presence is really not high.

When it comes to design or fashion design universities, then Shih Chien University should be regarded as the number one university in Taiwan.

The leading school in the field of fashion design in Taiwan is Shih Chien University, followed by Tainan University of Applied Sciences and Fu Jen University, and the only public university with a major in this field is the National Pingtung University of Science and Technology.

If it is a mainland student who goes to Taiwan to study, the Department of Fashion Design of Shih Chien University Taipei Campus is the best, followed by the Department of Textile and Clothing of Fu Jen University, the Department of Fashion Design and Management of National Pingtung University of Science and Technology, the Department of Fashion Design of Shih Chien University Kaohsiung Campus, and the Department of Fashion Design and Management of Tainan University of Applied Sciences.

In fact, similar to foreign countries, most of Taiwan's design universities are private universities.

Among the private universities in Taiwan, there are probably four main design colleges: Shijian, Daye, Mingchuan, and Zhongyuan, among which Shih Chien University School of Design should be regarded as the first among the four, and Shih's School of Design is also well-known abroad.

In Taiwan, I miss the service, practice is the first choice, and the second best should be the auxiliary university.

Fu Jen University is a private Christian university in New Taipei City, Taiwan, directly under the Ministry of Education of the Vatican, and is one of only two Pontifical universities in Asia, the other being Sophia University.

Because it is a church university, it will be more powerful than Shih Chien University in terms of international popularity, who let it be directly under the Vatican in Rome, but when it comes to the ranking of design universities, Shih must be better than Furen.

Shih Chien University has two campuses, one in Taipei and the other in Kaohsiung (where some business and tourism majors are located).

In 09, the Straits College was established with Fujian Minjiang University to recruit students in the mainland, and students of the school can go to Taiwan for bachelor's or master's and doctoral studies in the third year.

Practice formerly known as a practitioner, for one of the few universities in Taiwan that can be directly promoted from a technical and vocational system to a higher education system, it started with a family major, and then gradually expanded the business and design majors, and recently made every effort to develop the design major, so the practice is famous for the design profession, and has a certain reputation in the world, and design is naturally the most prominent major, so it is recommended to choose the practice of the first choice of design.

The best industrial design major only slightly lost to Chung Cheng University's business studies, and it was a very high score anyway.

In fact, Shih Chien University is not a good place to study abroad, except for design-related majors.

However, among the two campuses, the best one is definitely the Taipei campus, which has the best design majors in Taiwan.

Taiwan's fashion design development time is earlier than Yanjing, and it has accumulated quite rich resources.

However, Yanjing is now an international metropolis, and the prospects for future development will definitely be better.

It will definitely leave Taipei far behind.

It was not the first time Lin Zhengrong had gone to Shih Chien University, so he was not particularly excited about being able to go to Shih Chien University.

But there is still curiosity.

In fact, every mainlander has a so-called curiosity about Taiwan, who made the famous text in elementary school yearn for it.

It's just that if you go to Taiwan, this yearning and curiosity will definitely disappear.

For Lin Zhengrong, the same is true, it is not the first time he has gone to Taiwan for student exchanges.

The most troublesome thing about going to Taiwan is, of course, not asking for leave, but handling documents.

It's not the same as the Hong Kong and Macau pass.

This thing, if it is a personal line, it also needs two certificates and one signature.

Two certificates: Passage (Permit for Mainland Residents to and from Taiwan) + Taiwan Entry Permit "Taiwan Entry and Exit Permit of the Republic of China".

1. Endorsement: Taiwan Individual Travel Endorsement G Signature (pasted on the second page of the Token)

Therefore, when traveling to Taiwan, it is generally good to follow a group.

But Lin Zhengrong and they are not going to travel, they belong to the academic exchange activities of colleges and universities.

The whole process of handling the certificate is very cumbersome, probably the process is to submit the list of schools, and then you need to fill in a bunch of forms and stamps, and there will be an approval document for going to Taiwan.

The approval document for going to Taiwan is the approval document of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council for cross-strait exchange projects, and the personnel going to Taiwan should apply for the "Taiwan Entry and Travel Permit for Mainland Residents" at the exit and entry administration department of the provincial-level public security organ or the authorized local public security department where the household registration is located within the validity period specified in the approval document.

In this regard, it is up to the school to apply for it, and then there is an invitation letter from Taiwan.

There is also an entry permit issued by Taiwan, and it stands to reason that you should go to the household registration book and ID card to go to the exit and entry agency to apply for an entry permit to Taiwan.

However, Lin Zhengrong's hukou is not one of the 36 cities that can accept Taiwan's free travel permit.

It took a few days to get it done, and the counselor signed and stamped in the yard, and the school stamped the stamp, and the procedure was a little troublesome.

But after all, it is much more convenient for a school to apply for it than for an individual.

Lin Zhengrong didn't even need to return to the place where his household registration was located, and he had all the procedures read in Yanjing.

Of course, if you want to go through these procedures, you still have to go through them a long time in advance.

It is even said that these procedures have been completed before the start of the International Fashion Week, otherwise, in just a few days, where will there be time for him to toss these things.

The School of Fashion has many years of cooperation experience with Shih Chien University, and often sends teachers and students to Taiwan to participate in various academic exchange activities.

On April 25th, the delegation of the Institute of Fashion departed from Yanjing.

In addition to the selected students majoring in fashion design, many students from the fashion performance major and the fashion media department joined the group.

Lin Zhengrong in their dormitory, in addition to him, Sun Xu is also one of the students of the visiting group, Ma Yiheng and Fu Hao want to go but have no chance, their finished works are not even qualified to be shortlisted for the big show, let alone to participate in the joint exhibition of the graduation works of the two schools.

This time, not all the works that participated in the Yanfu show were able to participate in the joint exhibition, and they were basically in accordance with the works that participated in the special Yanfu press conference of the International Fashion Week.

In addition, the fashion performance major also selects outstanding students to join it, after all, the entire joint exhibition also needs catwalk models, and it is definitely impossible for the girls of the modeling major to be absent.

But this time, after all, I went to Taiwan to participate in a group exhibition at public expense, and it is definitely impossible to find any model I want to find as much as I did in the fashion institute before.

The models on the Yanfu side are mainly responsible for the modeling students.

In this way, Jiang Yue and Xie Anqi will definitely have no way to follow Lin Zhengrong to Taiwan to participate in the joint exhibition, which is unrealistic.

However, there are ready-made fashion works, the size remains the same, as long as the model is in the standard, there is no problem in this regard, not to mention, chestnut is also one of the graduate representatives of this group exhibition.

The number of students from the three majors of the Fashion Institute plus the teachers who led the team has reached more than 100.

The specifications of the entire exchange delegation are not small, and the leader of the team is Vice President Zhao, naturally, as his doctoral student, counselor Li Tao also went to Taiwan with the group, and the instructor Liu Zhou must not be missing.

Among them are the head of the fashion media department and the new head of the fashion department, Professor Zhou You, and the former head of the department, Wang Jinsong, has been transferred to the library as the director.

The administrative level has not changed, but the fact that a department head becomes a librarian is in itself telling.

A librarian is already considered an idle position in a university, at least for the head of a department who is ambitious to seek the position of dean of a second-level college.

After staying in the company for a while, I saw two girls, Li Li and Han Bailing.

Very kind.

Lin Zhengrong must have been despised by the class leader for a while.

Both of them were preparing to apply for graduate school abroad, so instead of preparing for internships, they started to study for foreign language courses.

It's not too idle.

If it weren't for something, it wouldn't be easy for Lin Zhengrong to find them.

There is no doubt that Chestnut went to study in St. Martin, as for Han Bailing, since she chose to study abroad, she would definitely be with Chestnut, and naturally, she also chose to go to the UK.

It is very difficult to go to St. Martin to study for a master's degree in fashion, especially in womenswear design.

Han Bailing's understanding of himself was quite clear, so he didn't plunge into it.

She also doesn't have a Saint-Martin plot.

So Lin Zhengrong's suggestion to her was to go to the London College of Fashion.

Like St Martins, London College of Fashion is one of six institutions under the umbrella of the University of the Arts London.

It is a collegiate federal university located in London, England. It consists of six faculties that teach art, design, fashion and media.

The University of the Arts London is Europe's largest educational institution for art, design, media communication and performing arts. Formerly known as London College, it was founded in 1986.

It is one of the best art schools in the world, and it is the Harvard and Cambridge of art education.

The University of the Arts London unites six of the world's most renowned schools dedicated to art and design, each with its own unique academic strength and style.

They are: London College of Communication, London College of Fashion, Camberwell College of Art, Chelsea College of Art and Design, Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design, and Wimbledon College of Art. Together, these six colleges make London the world's largest centre for education in art, design, mass communication and technology.

All in London.

A well-known art school.

If you can study at Lunyi, it will definitely meet all the images of foreign universities in everyone's minds.

Of course, the premise is that you can go to Saint-Martin or the Fashion Institute.

Instead of running to Camberwell or Chelsea.

Moreover, this school is also a collegiate federal university, which generally refers to the fact that the university is composed of several subordinate colleges, and the colleges have different degrees of independence.

In addition to providing residential facilities, faculties may also be responsible for some or all of their teaching functions.

This thing is somewhat similar to the National Defense University after the military reform, of course, it is not the same.

The six faculties are independent anyway.

However, the fashion institute is very close to St. Martin's, and even some courses are together.

Even when it comes to menswear design, the Fashion Institute is even better than Saint-Martin.

Lin Zhengrong is not too unfamiliar with the Fashion Institute, not to mention his previous life, he has been in contact with students who have returned from studying at the London College of Fashion during this time.

Not to mention Qin Chengcheng, Li Yanzhen is one of them.

In a certain sense, Lin Zhengrong feels that Li Yanzhen is quite similar to Han Bailing.

If you can't go to St. Martin, then going to the fashion school is also a good choice.

Even when you study in the UK, you can rent a house and live together.

After all, the dormitories of British universities are not the same as those in China, they are not provided by institutions, but more of outsourced student apartments, even if students rent a house outside, there is no problem at all.

If the time comes, the two girls are really going to study in the UK, Lunyi is the best choice.

Of course, if you want to study abroad, it is not just as simple as taking IELTS, when the time comes, it will be taught in English, and if you don't study preparatory courses, you must pass the language in China.

So the two girls were really busy.

Everyone finally got together, and there was another burst of emotion.

In the morning, I gathered in Yanfu and took the campus bus to the airport.

Everyone was quite excited.

Most of the students who went to Taiwan to participate in the joint exhibition were going to Taiwan for the first time.

Of course, not all schools are like this, some students go to Shien University as exchange students after their sophomore year, even if they are not exchange students, others have gone to Taiwan many times to participate in various academic exchange activities.

Since the establishment of a friendship school between the Fashion College and Shih Chien University, exchanges between the two schools have become very frequent.

It is not very difficult to go from the fashion college to Shihyun University as an exchange student.

At least it's much more convenient than going to the Yueben Cultural Fashion Institute to study abroad or be an exchange student.

Direct flight from Capital International Airport to Taipei Taoyuan Airport, which is the largest and busiest airport in Taiwan, more than 40 kilometers away from the city, taking China Airlines, from Yanjing to Taoyuan Airport, more than three hours, is not too long.

It's all in the country anyway.

From Yanjing to Guangzhou, it is about the same time.

Of course, even if it is from Yanjing to Haikou or Sanya, it will take about the same time.

It's all in the country, and no matter how far it is, it's not far away.

And when you take a plane, it's always on the road, not on the plane itself.

So I set off more than ten times and arrived at Taipei Taoyuan Airport at one o'clock in the afternoon.
