Program Overview
The College of Future Technology Red Bird MPhil Program (also known as RBM) is the first step in our university's commitment to promoting the integration of the "Hub-Thrust Concept". It aims to cultivate "top talents and future leaders in academia and industry".

Students in RBM have the opportunity, based on their personal interests, educational background, and future career plans, to engage in independent academic exploration within the first six months of enrollment. During this time, students define their research direction, select their collaborative team and academic supervisors (through mutual agreement), and subsequently register in the Thrust Area of their academic supervisors upon approval.

RBM places a strong emphasis on student-centered learning. Through a teaching model guided by team projects, students collaborate with academic supervisors from different Thrusts, project supervisors, or industry advisors to collectively complete team-based projects.
