      On November 17th , Astana International University (AIU) hosted a meeting with the  representatives of the partner university from Korea (Wosoong University - WU). The Korean side was represented by: Kim Tae Han, Executive Director of the Wosoong Foundation, Dean Lee Taek, Executive Dean of International Schools and Professor Yong Hwa Jong.

The main topic of the meeting was the discussion of further prospects for cooperation. In the context of the rapid development of high technologies, digitalization and artificial intelligence (AI), the parties expressed common interest in joint projects in these areas. Considering the relevance of online education, the parties discussed ways to integrate new educational technologies into the educational process.

One of WU's key projects is the 2+2 format, offering students two years of online study at WU followed by the two years of study at a selected partner university. The partner universities are the universities from Latin America, Europe, Southeast and Central Asia. Foreign students will be able to choose offline study at a university from the above countries and get a double diploma. This approach allows students to gain maximum experience in an international environment.

Parties discussed a variety of joint programs including management and technology, tourism and hospitality, culinary arts and artificial intelligence. WU has its own technologies in the field of online education and aims to create educational hubs in the above regions. They choose the capital of Kazakhstan as an educational and scientific hub, offering our university to become the main partner in the region.

It should be noted that, that within the framework of the previously signed memorandum of cooperation between the two universities, AIU students are currently undergoing academic mobility in Korea from August 2023 to January 2024. This opens up new opportunities for students from both countries in the fields of education and cultural exchange.
