With this news, ONCEs became curious about how Tzuyu was able to manage her graduate studies amid her busy solo debut and group comebacks.
Many also wondered how she earned a Bachelor's degree, which requires three to four years despite her hectic time as an idol.
As a result, some fans went into detail on how the idol most likely completed her undergrad and graduate degrees, considering her university and program.
From 2020 to 2021, UEMC opened online classes that were taught in Chinese for the first time, amid the COVID-19 lockdown. Tzuyu was said to be recommended by a professor she knew, and chose a two-year master's program in Applied Psychology, as per ONCEs on Reddit.
Regarding how she was able to get into the program without a bachelor's degree, some netizens explained that some universities follow a different educational system and allow students to pursue a master's degree with excellent work experience.
Since 2015, Tzuyu has been a K-pop star and has outstanding achievements in the music industry.
