CYCU has launched a Bachelor’s Program in the Semiconductor Industry, welcoming its first cohort in the 2026 academic year. The program emphasizes an industry-driven, cross-disciplinary, and practice-oriented curriculum, integrating engineering strengths and industry resources to cultivate semiconductor professionals with strong technical foundations and industry readiness, in response to Taiwan’s semiconductor supply-chain development and global competition.
CYCU established the Master’s Program in Semiconductor Materials and Optoelectronic Inspection in the 2024 academic year and simultaneously launched the nation’s first College of Semiconductor Industry among private universities, advancing an integrated framework for cutting-edge research and talent cultivation. Building on this foundation, CYCU has received Ministry of Education approval to establish a Bachelor’s Program in the Semiconductor Industry, completing a vertically integrated undergraduate-to-graduate talent development pathway and strengthening education aligned with industry needs.
According to Program Director Tai-Chen Kuo, the Bachelor’s Program in the Semiconductor Industry features a “cross-disciplinary, industry-integrated, and international” curriculum. Students may pursue modular study tracks in key areas such as device integration, process modules, instrumentation engineering, packaging and testing, and smart manufacturing. Through industry internships, team-teaching with industry professionals, and international exchange opportunities, students gain early exposure to real-world industrial environments and strengthen their engineering problem-solving and practical competencies. In late 2025, CYCU further expanded its global engagement by signing an agreement with Université catholique de Louvain (UCLouvain) WinFab in Belgium to join the ChipWin platform, fostering internationally minded semiconductor professionals.
CYCU stated that the newly established Bachelor’s Program in the Semiconductor Industry not only strengthens students’ professional training but also emphasizes holistic development and career planning. By encouraging cross-disciplinary learning that integrates information technology, engineering applications, and systems thinking, the program aims to cultivate semiconductor professionals with global perspectives, innovation capabilities, and sustainability awareness. The program will officially admit its first cohort in the 2026 academic year, and welcomes high school students with a strong interest in semiconductor technology, engineering applications, and industrial development to apply.
