Taiwan is ranked one of the lowest birth rate country of the world , while aging population is an inevitable trend . There are over 160 universities in Taiwan , and maybe one of the highest density of university of the world , and many of them face a shortage of students in recent years .
So there are more job-oriented departments open to attract more students , and more overseas students recruitment efforts by local schools .
A declining enrollment pushes schools to focus on students from mainland china , and the number of students rose by 16,537 in 2015 to reach 110,182 according to MOE's statistics . Among all the foreign students , there is a great surge in china , and it accounts for 42% of the source of students . The sources of foreign students were mainly Malaysia, China, Hong Kong, Macau and Vietnam, in that order.
Though foreign students only accounts for 8.27% of the schools , the percentage will undoubtedly clime in the coming year .
