The International Bachelor of Business Administration Program (IBBA) is the international student group of the Interdisciplinary Program of Management and Technology (IPMT) in the College of Technology Management (CTM). It is a four-year bachelor's degree designed for international students and overseas Chinese students to develop knowledge in business venturing and corporate managerial practices. The courses equip students with analytical thinking and knowledge for managing technology-based businesses.
Students will be exposed to core courses in the field of business and management, as well as courses for advanced expertise. As NTHU is located near many global tech giants (e.g. TSMC, MediaTek, UMC) and high-tech start-ups in Hsinchu Science Park, students have the opportunity to meet and interact with industry experts and investors interested in high-tech business. Students of NTHU benefit from an industrial network that connects what they learn in the classroom with authentic corporate practices.
In the job market, graduates with business and management skills as well as corporate experience are in high demand in industries such as banking, high-tech manufacturing and consulting. Graduates can take on roles in planning, supervising and administering corporate ventures and public-sector projects. Top career options include R&D Manager, Industrial Operations Manager, Business Analyst, Procurement Manager, Finance Manager, Human Resource Manager, Marketing Manager and High-tech (start-up) Entrepreneur.
