At the meeting, many subjects such as student exchange agreements and internship programs, which can offer opportunities to faculty, researchers, and students to experience practical learning, were discussed. Mr. Mukasa mentioned that the educational policy of SKKU is same as the University of Minnesota’s where the research and education activities are in operation centering around the industry cooperation program. He agreed to actively develop exchange programs by reviewing coursework and the degree requirements of both universities.
The University of Minnesota is one of the top institutions, ranked 137th by QS rankings, especially for the field of engineering (ranked 15th in Chemical Engineering). SKKU made an academic exchange agreement with Minnesota in 2014, and is expanding exchanges with the university through various activities such as joint academic forum by the Center for Integrated Nanostructure Physics.
