Dongmyung University (President Jeon Ho-hwan) held a dual degree program inauguration ceremony and Korean Culture Day event on the 7th (local time) at HUTECH University (President Ho Dak-rok) in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, along with the Dongmyung Open Day event organized by students from both universities.

The two universities began preparations for the dual degree program with a memorandum of understanding agreement in 2021, and held a Korean culture pre-experience and dissemination event to coincide with the announcement ceremony for the recruitment of new students for the program prepared over two years.

Through the establishment of four dual degree programs in English and Korean tracks, the two universities will be able to strengthen recruitment of international students who can study in Korea, find employment, and settle in Busan, in line with Busan City's region-specific visa policy.

The Korean Culture Day & Dongmyung University Open Day event is being held at Hue University of Technology in Vietnam.

The event was attended by the Consul General of the Republic of Korea in Ho Chi Minh City, the executive committee of KORCHAM (Korean Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Central and Southern Vietnam), presidents of five nearby universities including Ho Chi Minh University of Foreign Languages and Information Technology, the executive committee of KOTRA (Korea Trade-Investment Promotion Agency), representatives of Sejong Institute in Ho Chi Minh City, 20 students participating in Dongmyung University's Paransadari Project overseas training program, and students from HUTECH University, who all took part in various Korean cultural experience activities.

In particular, considering the nationwide K-beauty Korean Wave craze in Vietnam, four specially dispatched Dongmyung University beauty care major students held a live K-beauty show performance on site, attracting attention.

Dongmyung University agreed to expand the dual degree program with HUTECH University to Ho Chi Minh University of Economics and Finance (President Nguyen Tan Yang), which is under the same educational foundation as HUTECH. They also plan to support Korean language education for the Korean study abroad program for students of three international high schools (Royal Schools) under the school corporation.

At the event, President Jeon Ho-hwan said, “At a time when securing stable international students is more important than anything else to transition to a glocal university system, the dual degree program with HUTECH University, born after two years of preparation, has secured a definite foothold.”

He also evaluated the event as “a meaningful occasion where Dongmyung University students’ talents are expressed and spread as K-culture in Vietnam.”

Dongmyung University plans to support exchange and cooperation programs among enrolled students participating in this program, so that they can not only receive academic guidance during their degree course but also find employment in Korean companies and settle stably in Busan after graduation.

HUTECH University, established in 1995, is a private university with four campuses: Saigon Campus, Ung Van Khiem Campus, Thu Duc Campus, and High-Tech Park Campus.
