National Taiwan University Global MBA

What National Taiwan University Global MBA does

The National Taiwan University Global MBA (GMBA) is an English-taught graduate business program housed within the College of Management at National Taiwan University in Taipei, Taiwan. Established in 2006 and operating with continuous cohorts since at least 2009, the program serves both international and local students seeking a global business education anchored in Asian business practice. It recruits students from over 50 countries through parallel application tracks for international, local Taiwanese, mainland Chinese, and overseas Chinese applicants, supported by a multi-channel marketing presence across Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, and the NTU Management Newsletter, as well as hybrid (in-person and online) admission info sessions.

The program's core product is a structured MBA curriculum covering eight business disciplines — Financial Management, Financial Reporting, Management Accounting, Marketing Management, Organizational Behavior, Service and Operations Management, Statistics and Data Analysis, and Strategic Management — augmented by Chinese language courses, an Industry Mentoring Program (IMP) with company visits and business proposal competitions, and double-degree pathways with ZHAW School of Management and Law (Switzerland) and ASU Thunderbird School of Global Management. Study-abroad offerings (KIT in Germany, ABC, GMF in Japan/China) and a GBSN Leadership Lab pathway extend the curriculum internationally. Underlying technology is limited to standard LMS, online application portals, and hybrid event infrastructure; no proprietary technology stack is disclosed.

The revenue model is tuition-based, with financial support distributed through NTU Scholarships, GMBA Scholarships, external scholarships, and an assistantship program that compensates students TWD 25,000–50,000 per semester for research, data, translation, and event work. The program operates under National Taiwan University's institutional governance as a public university program rather than an independent commercial entity, with headcount of five and brand positioning as Taiwan's flagship English-taught MBA.
