Ajou University signs dual degree program agreement with Namkyung University of Science and Engineering in China
Ajou University recently signed a dual degree program agreement with Namkyung University of Science and Engineering in China.
President of Ajou University Dr. Jae-hwan Ahn visited Namkyung University of Science and Engineering in China, for four days from Nov. 20, signing the agreement during his visit. Planning Director Min-koo Kim and Head of the International Cooperation Team Jae-eun Kim accompanied the president to China.
Under the agreement, the two universities will conduct student exchanges in which students from each institution will be allowed to study in China or Korea toward obtaining a dual degree from each university.
Specifically, the dual degree system is one in which a student earns a certain number of credits at Ajou University (at least 1/2 of graduation credits) and the remaining credits from the other university, thereby obtaining degrees from both universities. The International Cooperation Team of Ajou University has made continuous efforts to expand the dual degree program, which has until now focused on sister universities in the United States (Stony Brook University and Illinois Institute of Technology) and in Australia (Sunshine Coast University), to include more universities in Asian countries, including China.
Namkyung University of Science and Engineering is located in Namkyung (Nanjing) in Jiangsu; it signed a sister university agreement with Ajou University in 1995. Namkyung University has 12 colleges, including the College of Chemical Engineering, the College of Electric Engineering, and the College of Humanities, and has been recognized for excellence in the area of science and engineering.
President Ahn during his visit participated in the celebratory events held to mark the 60th anniversary of the foundation of Namkyung University of Science and Engineering, and met with the Ajou University students currently studying at Namkyung University as exchange students. A total of 10 students are studying as exchange students at Namkyung University of Science and Engineering this year.
