NTUST partners with three vocational high schools to launch specialized classes, bypassing GSAT for direct university admission

National Taiwan University of Science and Technology (NTUST) is partnering with three vocational high schools, Daan, Taichung, and Hsinchu, to launch specialized "automation engineering" classes. This initiative aims to nurture highly skilled practical professionals by bringing university-level resources directly to vocational students.

The program will integrate NTUST's faculty, laboratories, industry partnerships, and international resources into the curriculum of the participating technical high schools. A key feature is the admission process, which bypasses the General Scholastic Aptitude Test (GSAT). Instead, students will be selected through a process that emphasizes early exploration of their interests and a balanced approach to both hands-on skills and theoretical knowledge.

This collaboration seeks to provide students with an earlier and more direct pathway to advanced technical education. By exposing them to university resources and industry connections while still in high school, the program intends to better prepare them for the demands of high-tech industries and foster a generation of skilled workers ready for the future workforce.
