South Korean university signs exchange pact with Nepal's Kathmandu University

Cyber University of Foreign Studies (CUFS) in South Korea has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Kathmandu University (KU) in Nepal to foster greater educational and academic collaboration.

The agreement, signed on August 14th at CUFS, aims to facilitate exchanges in areas of mutual interest, including joint research, faculty and student mobility, and the sharing of academic resources. The partnership is particularly significant as KU recently established a "Bachelor in Korean Studies: Language and Business" program within its School of Arts, indicating a growing interest in Korean language and culture.

Given that Kathmandu University operates a Korean studies program, there are many areas where the two universities can cooperate.

CUFS President Moon Hui-chang expressed optimism about the collaboration, highlighting the potential for synergy given KU's Korean studies program. He stated that CUFS would utilize its online education infrastructure to develop practical exchange programs that benefit students in Nepal. CUFS has a history of expanding its global partnerships, offering online bachelor's and master's degree programs in foreign languages and Korean language education.

Kathmandu University, founded in 1991, is a prominent higher education institution in Nepal, offering a wide range of programs across humanities, social sciences, management, education, engineering, law, medicine, and science. The university's commitment to expanding Korean studies presents a unique opportunity for deeper engagement between the two institutions.

We will create exchange programs that are practically beneficial to learners in Nepal by utilizing the university's online education base.
