As everyone knows, Wu would like to pursue a Master, and most Taiwanese doesn't agree the governmental policy. However, the educational policy shouldn't affect the people who want to study really, and therefore, the educational policy releases the requirement of education background for the applicants. Of course, this is absolutely right, but most Taiwanese cannot accept it, especially the young people. Which problem will Wu meet in the Taiwanese EMBA program? The real problem is English, not the professional knowledge.
I had ever attended the NTU EMBA courses, and the professors always taught the courses with a numerous of professional terms in English, "我想,這是marketing的問題,如果你有survey過的話,應該不難預測Q3的trend,你當然就可以預先改變你的strategy。", for example. Actually, most of the vocabularies, which are adopted by the professors, are fundamental words, but the students must understand these vocabularies for learning the courses. In Taiwanese advanced education, this is a formal style to be adopted by the professors, and the students have been used to the teaching style.
In Britain or the United States, even if the educational background of an applicant is just the junior high school, he or she still can understand what the professors say in the classes. The professors adopt the pure English to teach the students, so that they don't have the language problem for learning the professional knowledge. However, this is the only choice to study in Taiwan, and therefore the students must be used to the teaching style. I like Drucker's books, especially "The Effective Executive" & "The Essential Drucker," and they should be useful for you.
