Taiwan is moving towards globalization and needs talents with international perspective to lead Taiwan into the international arena. Overseas study is one of the channels for the making of such talents.
Many people's lifetime dream is to study overseas, not only for the knowledge but also for the experience of foreign lifestyle and culture thereby enabling oneself to be in tune with the world and widen one's perspective.
The impact of different cultures is bound to create more spectacular fireworks once the cultures are blended.
In recent years, studying abroad in the UK has become a trend. In the last five years, the number of overseas students in the UK has had an apparent increase, even leveling that of the number in the US.
But due to the lack of information, many students who are keen to study in the UK were deterred, and lost the opportunity to see this special country. Index Education Services (IES) is an educational organization that provides high quality and professional consultation services to Taiwanese students who would like to study in the UK.
The objective of IES is not only to deliver to the numerous Taiwanese students the latest UK education system and course contents, but for those who already have plans to study in the UK, assist them with anything issue they are likely to confront.
The primary mission of IES is to assist Taiwanese overseas students with further understanding of the details of applying to UK schools, planning of overseas study, and counseling.
IES has a group of friendly and experienced consultants to provide students going abroad with explanations on matters needing attention. As IES' consultants often visit various prominent colleges, universities or towns in the UK, or have studied in the UK, they will be glad to share their personal experiences with the students.
IES is growing steadily with various branch centers in Taipei, Hsinchu, Taichung, Tainan, and Kaohsiung providing consultation services to Taiwanese students interested in studying in the UK.

CONDITIONAL: The PRC imposes secret requirements that the funding it provides cannot be spent in states with diplomatic relations with Taiwan, Emma Reilly said China has been bribing UN officials to obtain “special benefits” and to block funding from countries that have diplomatic ties with Taiwan, a former UN employee told the British House of Commons on Tuesday.
