Founded in 1953, Wuhan Sports University is one of the top universities in the field of sports in China, with approximately 14,700 students enrolled. Among them, there are a total of 12 sports-related colleges, including the College of Sports Training, College of Physical Education, and College of Martial Arts, recognized for their expertise in the sports field within China. At the 2023 Hangzhou Asian Games, the university won 27 gold medals, 7 silver medals, and 3 bronze medals.

Through this agreement, both universities will jointly promote short-term visit programs and exchange student programs to enhance understanding among undergraduates and strengthen cultural exchange, as well as establish overseas practical training bases.

In particular, discussions were held on concrete implementation plans for the '1+4 Master's Degree' program. The 1+4 master's degree program, which connects undergraduate and master's studies, is a system being promoted to expand opportunities for Chinese students to enter graduate school at Kookmin University. It is designed so that students who complete one semester of classes (preparatory school) at Wuhan Sports University and four semesters of classes at Kookmin University can obtain a master's degree from Kookmin University.

Meanwhile, the president and delegation of Wuhan Sports University visiting Korea plan to tour the main facilities of Kookmin University's College of Physical Education and explore the attractions of the Myungwon Museum at Kookmin University on the 16th and 17th.

Jo Wook-yeon, Dean of Kookmin University's College of Physical Education, said, "Kookmin University's College of Physical Education is the only college of physical education located in Seoul, and its authenticity and excellence are proven by the diverse achievements of its graduates." He added, "I hope this agreement with Wuhan Sports University, which has deep roots in the Chinese sports community, will serve as an opportunity to lead the Asian sports community beyond the two countries."
