[Article by College of Communication] To expand the international cooperation network of the College of Communication in the Asia-Pacific region, Dean Hsiu-Hui Sun, joined by Professor Hui-Wen Liu, Director of the Research and Development Center, and Professor I-Huei Cheng, Director of the Center for International Cooperation, traveled to Singapore in early April, 2026. The delegation visited partner institutions National University of Singapore (NUS) and Nanyang Technological University (NTU) to deliberate on academic exchanges and program collaborations, solidifying the foundation for international engagement and deepening academic ties.
On April 1, the NCCU delegation made its first stop at the National University of Singapore (NUS). They were hosted by Dr. Natalie Pang, Head of the Department of Communications and New Media, alongside Professors Dr. Shaohai Jiang and Dr. Renyi Hong. Both parties exchanged insights on their respective development directions and engaged in concrete discussions regarding future cooperation frameworks.
The following day, the delegation visited Nanyang Technological University (NTU), meeting with Dr. Jack Qiu Linchuan, Chair of the Wee Kim Wee School of Communication and Information, and Director Pei Wen Wong. The delegation toured the school’s newsroom, studios and recording facilities, being impressed with appreciation for the students’ hands-on experience in international journalism. The two sides shared their experiences in international collaboration and expressed mutual interest in increasing exchange opportunities for faculty and students.
Dean Hsiu-Hui Sun noted that the performance of Singaporean universities in academic resource integration and international competitiveness is globally recognized. She expressed hope to draw upon their internationalization experiences through this visit and plans to strengthen bilateral exchanges to enhance the global influence of the NCCU College of Communication.
This field visit to Singapore has opened further opportunities for the College of Communication to engage in academic and teaching collaborations with top-tier institutions in the Asia-Pacific. Moving forward, the College will continue to extend its international exchange strategies to achieve goals such as launching transnational research collaborations, driving international student recruitment, and enriching students’ global experiences.
