Does your university as a body provide cross-cultural training/awareness campaigns or education programmes? 1. Promote cross-border courses to encourage students’ international participation: Through providing online courses, NCUE is committed to establishing the models of cross-border cooperation in terms of co-teaching and international cooperation in research to support bilateral teaching resources. For example, students in Rehabilitation Counseling are engaging in the development of joint classes and research through co-teaching projects with international prestigious universities.
