Enrich Your Holidays with Unique Experiences:

During winter and summer breaks, students can apply for accommodation and part-time employment at Fo Guang Shan or the Buddha Museum. These opportunities allow you to immerse yourself in a vibrant Buddhist community while gaining meaningful, hands-on experience.


For International Students:

International students are warmly encouraged to take advantage of Taiwan’s work opportunities! For detailed information on work permits, visit the EZ Work Taiwan website. This is a fantastic chance to not only gain professional experience but also explore Taiwan’s rich cultural heritage.

Start your journey toward academic excellence and personal growth with DBS today!


Flexible Housing Options with Unique Opportunities

Students who prefer alternative accommodation—whether it’s another university’s dormitory or private housing—have the flexibility to make their own living arrangements. However, please note that eligibility for the DBS Scholarship is linked to participation in the communal living experience outlined in the Practice Courses. Choosing a different housing option would mean opting out of this scholarship opportunity.

We encourage students to embrace the communal living experience, as it offers a unique and enriching environment for shared learning, personal growth, and deeper academic engagement. Make the most of this opportunity to connect with peers and immerse yourself in a supportive community that fosters collaboration and development!
