Kwangwoon University expands academic ties with 3 universities in Qingdao

Kwangwoon University is broadening its academic collaborations by forming ties with three institutions located in Qingdao, a city in China's Shandong province. On October 8-9, a delegation headed by Kwangwoon University President Yoon Do-young visited Qingdao University of Technology, Qingdao University, and Qingdao University of Science and Technology to evaluate current joint academic initiatives and explore new opportunities for cooperation.

During their visit to Qingdao University of Technology on October 8, the delegation commemorated the 20th anniversary of the universities' shared architecture program. They then deliberated strategies to further enhance the program, which will see its annual enrollment expand from 80 to 120 students starting in the 2026 academic year. To accommodate this growth, both universities discussed expanding their educational facilities and ensuring the successful execution of the program.

Subsequently, the delegation met with Kwangwoon University faculty members who are involved in the architecture program. They engaged in discussions about medium- and long-term development plans, which encompassed enhancements to teaching conditions and pathways for students to progress from undergraduate to graduate studies.
