Abstract
Information on social networking sites are shaping our daily choices in certain ways, some important and far- reaching decisions are also influenced by social media, such as selecting which school to study. This thesis is aimed at discussing whether social media can be an important source of information for post graduate enrollment. It proposes that student’s decisions about post graduate enrollment are influence by social media messages related to the following four dimensions: university reputation, course structure and design, industrial centric program and cost and facilities. This thesis utilizes mixed quantitative-qualitative method with 138 valid replies of online questionnaire survey and 12 interviews data. There are three key findings from the survey data. Firstly, prestige of university, information about the degree and post graduate job opportunities are most influential factors in prospect students’ university choice. Secondly, messages of admission criteria living cost and facilities are more important to international students than Taiwanese students. Lastly, interviews with both local and foreign students emphasize the value of peer recommendation as powerful source of information in university choice.
