Dongmyeong University and Lac Hong University in Vietnam Join Hands for Academic Exchange

Dongmyung University signed an academic exchange agreement with Lac Hong University in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, on July 5 local time.

This agreement was promoted as part of a program supporting the issuance of Korean employment and settlement visas for students enrolled in the newly established International College at Dongmyung University in 2024.

According to the agreement, the two universities will establish a dual degree program with English and Korean tracks, where students complete two years of coursework at each university.

Additionally, for students participating in this program, an internship program will be conducted during their studies, and after graduation, an employment support platform will be created to enable them to work for Korean companies under the Busan regional specialized visa program and reside in the Busan area.

Officials from Dongmyung University and Rak Hong University are taking a group commemorative photo after signing the agreement.

At the signing ceremony, President Jeon Ho-hwan stated, “International students should no longer be seen simply as foreign students who obtain degrees from Korean universities and return home, but as students who should be nurtured as ‘second citizens’ who find employment in Korea immediately after graduation and settle as healthy citizens of Busan.”

He added, “In the future, international exchange cooperation projects between universities will be carried out with various programs during enrollment, combining education with experiential projects to prepare for settlement in Korea.”

Lac Hong University is the first private university in Dong Nai Province, southeastern Vietnam, with about 8,000 students and 600 faculty and staff members. It operates 23 undergraduate departments, 8 graduate programs, and 2 doctoral programs.
