Why TSM South Korea?

What motivates you to join TSM?
Courses like IS101 and TWC have interested and attracted me to learn more about technology, be it in terms of its history, the business processes, or how they have grown to be so important in today's world. I believe that joining TSM will be an experience that allows me to learn a lot more about technology, and perhaps see new technology in the making.


Why pick South Korea?
South Korea is well-known for being home to some of the major technology giants, such as Samsung and LG, and is touted to be the next global hub for tech startups by Forbes. It is definitely one of the places to go to learn and know more about technology. Furthermore, South Korea has always been a place that fascinated me a lot, for it has a very rich and diverse culture, and is a place similar to yet also largely different from Singapore.
