Taiwan International Graduate Program (TIGP) PhD Studentship
Funded by the government, Academia Sinica
is the most prominent research institution in Taiwan. In 2002, in collaboration with a consortium of prominent local research universities, Academia Sinica established the Taiwan International Graduate Program (TIGP) that offers the following 9 highly specialized interdisciplinary PhD programs and a generous funding, a grant of
NT$32,000 (US$1050) per month, to each student for up to 3 years.

1. Chemical Biology and Molecular Biophysics (CBMB) Program : Under the leadership of the predecessor and the present program director, CBMB has become an excellent interdisciplinary program that stresses student training in basic sciences at the interface between chemistry/physics and biology. The 47 faculty members have expertise covering biochemistry, bioorganic and bioinorganic chemistry, biophysics and bioinformatics, carbohydrate synthesis, mass spectrometry, molecular biology, organic and medicinal chemistry and structural biology. Core courses provided are ‘Fundamental Chemical Biology and Molecular Biophysics’, ‘Experimental Molecular Biophysics’, and ‘Advanced Chemical Biology’.
2. Molecular Science and Technology (MST) Program focuses its research on the following topics: chemical dynamics,
dynamics in biological systems, dynamics in condensed media, linear and
nonlinear molecular spectroscopy and structures and dynamics of
clusters and nanoparticles. The spectroscopy section of this program
includes steady-state laser spectroscopy, magnetic resonance
spectroscopy, electron energy loss spectroscopy, and spectroscopy using
synchrotron light sources. The dynamics section consists of crossed
beam studies, photochemistry, and ultra-fast laser spectroscopy. Both
experimental and theoretical aspects of molecular spectroscopy and
dynamics are included in this program.
3. Molecular and Biological Agricultural Sciences (MBAS) Program pursues basic and applied research that has the potential to lead to
new platform technologies or develop into novel systems and/or
industrial applications in biotechnology. The program focuses on
regional agricultural needs; for example, on subtropical crop or flower
plant systems, and major infectious diseases affecting pig/chicken
farms and warm water marine products and the subtropical herbal plant
systems of Chinese traditional medicine.
