Chia Nan University of Pharmacy and Science (CNU), founded in 1966, is one of Taiwan’s most established universities with a pharmacy-centered identity and a long-standing mission to strengthen healthcare education and innovation. CNU was established with a strong sense of public commitment—training pharmaceutical professionals who could directly contribute to society. CNU has steadily expanded its academic capacity in response to changes in global healthcare, industrial development, and public health needs. Today, CNU positions pharmacy and health sciences as its core disciplines while actively developing research and innovation in related fields such as medicinal chemistry, biotechnology, cosmetic science, and health technology. With an emphasis on translational and application-oriented research, the university integrates academic resources across departments and promotes collaboration between faculty, students, and industry partners—ensuring that research outcomes can be effectively translated into real-world solutions. For international students seeking hands-on research training, CNU offers a supportive environment for laboratory-based research internships, particularly in areas connected to drug discovery and development, pharmaceutical biotechnology, and health-related product innovation. Through dedicated R&D structures and specialized research centers—including the Drug Discovery and Development Center—CNU provides opportunities for interns to engage in experimental work, research mentoring, and interdisciplinary projects aligned with Taiwan’s rapidly growing biomedical and healthcare industries. Located in Tainan City, a historic and highly livable hub in southern Taiwan, CNU offers international interns both academic immersion and cultural experience. With its pharmacy-driven focus, applied research culture, and strong industry-academia linkage, CNU welcomes motivated international talents to join research teams, contribute to ongoing projects, and gain meaningful experience in an Asia-leading health innovation ecosystem.
