The majority of Chinese Mainland students are in the Department of Finance, holding an average of about 8 students in each class. Dean of the Department of Finance, Ming-chih Lee, stated, “The Department of Finance is at the top of the list in regards of the interests of Chinese students. I think it will certainly prove beneficial for them in the future no matter which direction they go with their career.” Every year this discussion is held for the Mainland Chinese students to make sure the university is meeting with their needs. Ming-chi Lee expressed that due to limited funding, currently Tamkang university is unable to provide a Chinese student scholarship program, which is the reasoning for establishing a social welfare program.

In the future I hope to be able to do volunteer services.” Second year student of the Department of Finance, Mao Li, expressed that in the future he desires to have a career in the financial field, which is we he came to Tamkang University.
