What Choose Huafan University ?

Huafan University (HFU) is known for its harmonious blend of modern education and Buddhist philosophy. Located in the green mountains of New Taipei City, HFU provides a peaceful, nature-centered environment ideal for reflection, creativity, and personal growth.

The university emphasizes the core values of Humanism, Wisdom, and Compassion, fostering well-rounded students with both professional skills and strong moral foundations.

Academic Strengths

HFU offers a wide range of programs through its four colleges:

  • College of Liberal Arts - focusing on literature, philosophy, and cultural studies
  • College of Arts and Design - known for architecture, visual communication, and digital media
  • College of Engineering and Management - combining innovation with practical industry knowledge
  • College of Buddhism - promoting the study and practice of Buddhist thought in modern contexts

Small class sizes allow for close faculty-student interaction and mentorship. The university also integrates service learning and environmental education into its curriculum.

Scholarships for International Students

Huafan University offers various financial aids to support global learners, including:

  • Huafan University International Student Scholarship – tuition waivers or reductions based on merit
  • Academic Excellence Award – for outstanding semester performance
  • Taiwan Government Scholarships – available through the Ministry of Education (MOE) and Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA)
  • These opportunities make studying at HFU both accessible and affordable for international students.

Campus Life & Environment

Nestled in the mountains yet just an hour from central Taipei, HFU offers the best of both worlds — a quiet academic setting surrounded by nature, and easy access to the city.

Students enjoy:

  • Clean, green campus air and inspiring mountain views
  • Dormitory housing with modern facilities
  • Active student clubs and community service programs
  • A caring and inclusive campus culture rooted in mindfulness and respect

Why It Stands Out ?

  • One of Taiwan’s few universities deeply integrating Buddhist values into education
  • Beautiful natural environment for focused learning and reflection
  • Strong programs in arts, design, humanities, and Buddhist studies
  • Supportive, close-knit international community

Huafan University is the perfect choice for students seeking a peaceful, meaningful study experience in Taiwan — where academic excellence meets spiritual growth.
