"Looking for Students to Study and Live in Busan"... Kyungnam College of Information Technology Pursues Settlement-Oriented International Student Recruitment

Study Abroad Fair Held in Vietnam

Introducing Visa Systems and Employment Linkage Programs

As the school-age population continues to decline, universities are focusing their efforts on attracting international students.

For regional universities, it has become an important task not only to attract foreign students but also to establish strategies that connect graduation to local settlement. In line with this, Kyungnam College of Information Technology held a large-scale study abroad fair in Vietnam.

Kyungnam College of Information Technology (President Kim Taesang) announced on the 22nd that it hosted the 'KIT Study Abroad Fair' in Hanoi, Vietnam, on the 19th, providing admission and study abroad information to local students and representatives of educational institutions.

Kyungnam College of Information is holding the 'KIT Study Abroad Fair' in Hanoi, Vietnam, on the 19th.

The event, held at the Sheraton Hotel in Hanoi, was attended by representatives of Vietnamese partner universities, local study abroad agencies, and about 500 students interested in studying in Korea.

During the fair, information sessions were held on visa systems and changes in study abroad policies that are of interest to students preparing to study in Korea, as well as on the curriculum for each department.

The college introduced academic programs and career paths focused on departments with high employment demand, such as Footwear & Fashion, Electrical Engineering, Electric & Hydrogen Vehicles, and Semiconductor Electronics. The university also explained support measures for international students in both academics and employment.

Also present at the event were representatives from K-MARKET, a Korean distribution company operating in Vietnam, who shared cases of student employment and industry-academia cooperation.

Kyungnam College of Information Technology is currently working to secure foreign talent needed for the local industry in connection with Busan City's RISE project. Universities are increasingly interested in establishing systems that not only attract international students but also help them find employment in local companies and settle in the region after graduation.

A representative from Kyungnam College of Information Technology stated, "We are expanding employment support and settlement programs so that international students can enter the local industrial workforce after completing their studies."

In his welcoming remarks, President Kim Taesang said, "Since our founding in 1965, our university has established itself as the first and leading junior college in Busan, boasting an overwhelming scale of advanced infrastructure and educational programs among more than 120 junior colleges in Korea."

He emphasized, "Currently, more than 1,100 Vietnamese students at our university, who are continuing their studies and growing as global talent, are serving as a bridge between Korea and Vietnam."
