Key Areas of Collaboration
The agreement outlines several specific collaborative activities in academic areas of mutual interest:
- Become a Visiting Student: Want to experience student life in the vibrant city of Seoul or the bustling heart of Kuala Lumpur? The agreement allows for the admission of visiting (fee-paying) students, giving you the chance to study abroad and immerse yourself in a new culture while continuing your degree.
- World-Class Faculty Exchange: Our professors and academic staff will be crossing borders too! The agreement promotes the exchange of faculty, researchers, and administrative staff.

- Engage in Cutting-Edge Research: Looking to contribute to new knowledge? The agreement supports conducting collaborative research projects and the exchange of academic information and materials. This opens doors for students to participate in international research teams and tackle global challenges.
Learning isn’t limited to lectures. This partnership is designed to bring a dynamic, global academic environment right to your campus!

The implementation of specific activities will be separately negotiated and agreed upon between the respective faculties, schools, or institutes. All activities will be carried out in accordance with the laws and regulations of the respective countries.
A key point addressed is that any collaborative research activities that result in potential intellectual property will lead to both universities seeking an equitable and fair understanding as to ownership and other property interests that may arise.
