National Mokpo University (President Song Ha-cheol) announced on the 28th that it has successfully completed the first half of the high school-university linked high school credit system joint curriculum, ‘Kkumkium Campus,’ in collaboration with the Jeollanam-do Office of Education (Superintendent Kim Dae-jung).

‘Kkumkium Campus’ is a Jeonnam-type joint curriculum operated in connection between high schools and universities, offering small-group elective courses and specialized lectures that are difficult to open at individual high schools.

Following last year, National Mokpo University has been operating a total of 3 sessions and 8 courses from April to January 2024.

In the first half of the year, the first session (first semester) was conducted online with courses in △Marketing and Advertising △Business and Management, and the second session (summer vacation) was an intensive practical training camp offering △Physics Experiments △Life Science Experiments △Chemistry Experiments, with 79 high school students from the Jeonnam region (33 schools including Mokpo High School) participating.

In particular, the second session experimental courses held from the 24th to the 27th provided various educational activities that students could not experience at school by utilizing university facilities and advanced equipment for experiment- and practice-oriented lectures.

Students who participated in the experiments said, “It was an opportunity to learn subjects that we could not take in the school curriculum, and by directly conducting experiments that we usually do not encounter, we were able to gain more confidence about our career paths.”

Cha Joo-hwan, Director of Planning at Mokpo University, said, “National Mokpo University plans to actively support Jeonnam high school students in selecting various subjects that suit their career paths and aptitudes, and hopes that the high school-university linked program will serve as a foundation for establishing a co-growth system between the region and the university.”

Meanwhile, in the third session (winter vacation), Mokpo University plans to support students’ dreams by operating △Philosophy △General Media Content △Computer Security courses as an intensive practical training camp.
