馬來西亞馬拉理工大學（Universiti Teknologi MARA, UiTM）檳城分校校長Haji Ahmad Rashidy Razali博士日前率團蒞校訪問，雙方除締約為姊妹校外，亦深入交流合作議題，包括TEEP實習計畫、產學鏈結以及畢業生留臺就業等，同時安排參訪矽品精密工業（SPIL）。訪問團此行一路偶遇多名在臺大馬同胞，從本校國際處成員、包車司機、餐廳服務生到任職矽品的本校校友等，邂逅之緣讓來賓此行多了份親切與溫馨，也對臺灣為外國人士提供的發展機會感到驚喜。

UiTM為1956年創立的公立大學，擁有35個校區與逾46萬名學生，為馬來西亞規模最大的高等教育機構之一。該校在國際學術評比中表現亮眼，包括QS世界大學排名前600名，以及《泰晤士高等教育》（THE）跨學科科學全球排名第136名，法律學科更是全馬僅有的4所入榜大學之一。

此次隨團來訪者包括UiTM副校長、機械系主任、國際處主管與企管所教師等。本校由李漢文國際長主持歡迎會並代表簽署兩校合作備忘錄；物理系游博文教授、電機系楊文然教授及國際處張琇惠組長等均出席迎賓。

近年本校推動境外生留臺就業計畫初具成效，如設立國際專修部與新型專班、推廣「優秀外國青年來臺蹲點計畫」（TEEP）、建立企業合作夥伴、媒合面試機會及辦理就業博覽會等，因此當日雙方會談聚焦多項校企合作議題，會後國際處亦安排參訪IC封測大廠─矽品精密，期能透過本校與業界夥伴，探索產學合作契機，為馬國師生提供進修、產業實務體驗與跨國工作機會等，使訪問團留下深刻印象。

值得一提的是，UiTM此行不乏意外的驚喜─除了全程包車接送的Uber司機是個道道地地在臺自行創業的大馬人士外，目前本校國際處有3名成員來自馬來西亞，當日均參與UiTM的接待工作；而矽品精密工業公司安排接待UiTM參訪團的人員亦是本校畢業的馬籍校友，加上來賓於餐廳用餐時的服務生又適巧來自大馬，並即將於10月赴矽品任職，這些巧遇不僅讓來賓分外親切，「賓至如歸」自不待言，也見證馬來西亞人在臺灣的多元發展機會，以及與這塊土地的深厚連結，為兩校攜手培育跨國實務人才奠定良好基礎。（國際暨兩岸事務處）

Dr. Haji Ahmad Rashidy Razali, Rector of Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) Penang Branch, recently led a delegation to National Changhua University of Education (NCUE) to formalize academic ties. The two institutions signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) and held in-depth discussions on potential collaborations, including the Taiwan Experience Education Program (TEEP), industry–academia partnerships, and post-graduation employment opportunities in Taiwan. The visit also included a tour of Siliconware Precision Industries Co., Ltd. (SPIL).

Throughout their stay, the UiTM delegation enjoyed a series of heartwarming encounters with fellow Malaysians—from NCUE International Office staff members and a chartered taxi driver to restaurant servers and an alumnus now working at SPIL. These unexpected meetings made the guests feel warmly welcomed and offered a glimpse into the diverse opportunities Taiwan provides for international professionals.

Founded in 1956, UiTM is a public university with 35 campuses and more than 460,000 students, making it one of Malaysia’s largest higher education institutions. It ranks among the world’s top 600 in the QS World University Rankings and holds 136th place globally in the Times Higher Education Interdisciplinary Science Rankings. UiTM’s Law discipline is also ranked among just four Malaysian universities listed in this field.

The visiting delegation included UiTM’s Deputy Rector, Head of Mechanical Engineering, a Liaison Officer from its International Office, and a Senior Lecturer at the MBA Program. NCUE’s Dean of International Office, Dr. Lee Hon Man, presided over the welcome ceremony and signed the MoU on behalf of NCUE, joined by Professor Po-Wen Yu from the Department of Physics, Professor Wen-Jan Yang from the Department of Electrical Engineering, and International Affairs Division Head Sally Chang.

NCUE has actively developed initiatives to retain international graduates in Taiwan, such as launching the International Foundation Program and the International Industrial Talents Education Special Program, promoting TEEP, forging corporate partnerships, arranging interviews, and hosting job fairs. In this context, the meeting with UiTM focused on strengthening industry–academia links. The delegation’s visit to SPIL further explored possibilities for academic–industry collaboration and opportunities for student and staff engagement.

The Malaysian connections continued to surprise and delight the guests: their Uber driver was a Malaysian entrepreneur in Taiwan; three of NCUE International Office’s staff members were fellow Malaysians.; SPIL’s assigned liaison was a Malaysian NCUE alumnus; and a Malaysian restaurant server they met will soon begin work at SPIL. These encounters underscored the strong ties between Taiwan and Malaysia, highlighting both institutions’ shared commitment to cultivating internationally skilled talent.
