Seamless Transition from Graduation to Employment: Asia University Excels in AI Development, Demonstrating Strong Academic and Research Capabilities in Cultivating Global Talent

Asia University President Jeffrey J.P. Tsai stated that the university is actively advancing its layout in artificial intelligence, with a strong focus on precision medicine, remote health management, and medical data analysis. By integrating AI applications into healthcare and aligning with the needs of smart medicine and the health industry, Asia University is dedicated to cultivating cross-disciplinary elite talent. The university’s second affiliated hospital, together with long-term care, biotechnology, and childcare centers, is scheduled to open in November 2026, creating 2,500 job opportunities. This initiative will enable students to apply what they learn directly in practice, ensuring they graduate into high-paying jobs.

In terms of industry-academia collaboration, Asia University has forged strong partnerships with leading global corporations and world-renowned universities. These include joint projects with Harvard University and MIT laboratories in the United States. AMD has established the “AMD Logic and Computing Laboratory” on campus and launched seven major innovation projects in AI and biomedical computing. President Cai also visited the U.S. to meet with NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang to discuss health and medical research initiatives. In addition, the university has signed MOUs with companies such as SPIL, Greatek Electronics, and Topco Scientific to cultivate high-level professional talent.

President Tsai emphasized that Asia University places great importance on strengthening students’ global competitiveness. The university established the “AI Semiconductor Hub” in central Taiwan and launched a specialized semiconductor talent cultivation program, which has already trained hundreds of senior engineers. Graduates have gone on to work at world-renowned companies such as Apple Germany, Qualcomm USA, Synopsys USA, Arm UK, Intel, and TSMC, achieving outstanding results. More than 200 students have already earned international AI certifications from Amazon AWS and NVIDIA, making them highly sought-after talents who can secure overseas positions with annual salaries of USD 70,000–80,000 immediately upon graduation.

Dean Ching-Hsien Hsu of the College of Information and Electrical Engineering added that 22 professors at Asia University have been named among the “Top 2% of Scientists Worldwide” by Stanford University, with 11 of them from the College of Information and Electrical Engineering. This demonstrates that the university’s teaching and research capacity has reached an international standard. The college has also won nine National Innovation Awards over the past eight years, with projects such as the “Home Hemodialysis Intelligent Monitoring and Early Warning System,” showcasing its strong research achievements. Furthermore, 16 projects were recently awarded funding by the National Science and Technology Council under the “2025 Undergraduate Student Research Program,” covering cross-disciplinary fields such as healthcare, AI applications, and intelligent systems. These accomplishments reflect the university’s philosophy that “teaching is research, and students are talent.”
