Kookmin University steps up internationalization efforts to boost students' global readiness

Kookmin University is ramping up its internationalization initiatives to enhance students' global preparedness. The institution is offering students opportunities for overseas work experience, broadening international collaborative research, and cultivating partnerships with global entities. The university's focus is on bolstering students' global readiness by moving beyond conventional international exchanges and language training, and providing them with opportunities to engage in projects with overseas companies that could potentially lead to internships and jobs.

Jeong Seung-ryul, the president of Kookmin University, highlighted that as the university marks its 80th anniversary this year, strengthening global capabilities and networks has been identified as one of the four key strategies in their mid- to long-term development plan, 'KMU VISION 2035: EDGE'. He further explained that the university will be expanding partnerships with overseas universities, companies and organizations, and will support students in gaining firsthand experience in global settings, thereby enabling them to build the competitiveness needed to succeed on the international stage.
