Meeting for Discussing Collaborations
with Konyang University, South Korea
In pursuance of our
sustained interactions with Konyang University, South Korea, and the
discussions we have had with them via zoom last month, and the subsequent
clearance given by our legal coordinator for the draft MoU for prospective
signing between the two institutions, we had Prof. Beck, Director of the
Singapore Office, Konyang University, with us to discuss areas for mutual
collaboration and cooperation and for signing of MoU between the two
institutions, on Thursday, 8th August 2024 at 10.30 am in the Council Room.
Following are the points discussed
-
1) They welcome our
students for master program. If the student has 5.5 in IELTS he will get 40
percent discount in tuition fee and more than 6.5 score he gets 50 percent
discount. The fee for one semester approximately comes around 2 lakh INR. Plus
35,000 INR as registration fee.
2) Upon completion of the
program the student gets an 5 year work permit VISA, thus after 5 years it will
be extended for another 5 year and later he will be eligible for PR.
3) During the course of
study students can work in part time and earn more than what they spent.
4) Encourage and welcoming
students to do 3 month internships in South Korea, however all the expenses
need to be taken care by the student himself. They only facilitate the process.
5) Requesting MCC to have
a Korean Language centre of Konyang University in MCC. (Global open Learning)
like they can watch the lecture from Korea, all the study materials will be
given to our students. Hence we can discuss with Prof. Lee to discuss the implications.
6) Once we offer Global
Open Learning they are happy to get involved in SEP.
Note: There main Focus is
on Tourism Department and Korean Language Centre.
