Gyeongnam Information University (President Kim Dae-sik) visited its sister university, James Cook University, located in Brisbane, Australia, to discuss the establishment of a degree exchange program between Korea and Australia.

The two universities agreed to promote degree exchange programs such as the '2+1 Dual Degree Program' for students majoring in tourism services (hotel tourism, culinary arts, baking and pastry). They also signed a memorandum of understanding regarding an English language institute, short-term language programs, cultural programs, and exchanges of students and faculty members.

President Kim Dae-sik stated, “Gyeongnam Information University has continued various efforts to nurture students as global talents together with over 100 overseas sister universities. We will do our best to expand overseas degree exchanges and support for overseas employment so that Gyeongnam Information University students can receive many benefits.”
