The Executive Yuan has outlined the program on Bilingual Education for Students in College (BEST) for the growth and enhancement of English Medium Instruction (EMI) for the “Bilingual Nation 2030" bilingual talent cultivation vision.

In the Ministry of Education's " The Program on Bilingual education for students in college", the National Chung Hsing University College of Life Sciences was awarded the only English as a medium of instruction (EMI) teaching in the field of life sciences in the country.

Through this project, under the leadership of the "Bilingual Education Executive Committee”, the main responsible unit of the EMI, the College of Life Sciences would build the skills and environment for teachers and students to communicate internationally, expand their international horizons, and connect with the world, making the College of Life Sciences an important center for nurturing international biotechnology talents.

The College of Life Sciences of National Chung Hsing University has a group of top life science teachers in the country. The core research topics of the College of Life Sciences include Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, Biomedicine, Genomics, Proteomics, Molecular Virology, Plant Physiology, Animal Physiology, Biotechnology, Structural Biology, Ecology, Taxonomy, Evolution, Conservation Biology, and Bioinformatics. The educational goal of the College of Life Sciences is to cultivate students with "professional knowledge and skills in the field of life sciences, independent thinking, analytical and logical skills, communication skills, leadership and problem-solving skills".

Through EMI education, students would be encouraged to participate in international society publications, biotechnology competitions, and exchange studies with overseas Lab to Lab, etc. to enable students not only to stand at the international forefront in professional knowledge, but also to cultivate talents who can communicate and cooperate with international professionals, and hope to cultivate talents with "global mobility of high-level life science professional expertise ".
