There is a substantial number of colleges offering "vocational" nursing courses at senior secondary school level and graduates of such courses would be considered under Category Three of the document to which reference is made at the top of this page.


Institutions of the same or similar names exist in both Taiwan and the People's Republic of China and care must be taken not to confuse them.  For example there are institutions named "China Medical University" in each country. However only the one in Taiwan is a "Higher Education, Section 1" institution.
