Through this agreement, Kookmin University and Tashkent University of Information Technologies will operate a dual degree program in which students who complete independently operated curricula according to regulations and meet the graduation requirements of each university can simultaneously obtain degrees awarded by both institutions.

Kookmin University has maintained continuous ties with the Uzbekistan government and Tashkent University of Information Technologies. In October last year, it also signed a memorandum of understanding with Tashkent University of Information Technologies and Microsoft Korea to establish a global digital campus.

Supported by the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA)'s "Tashkent University of Information Technologies Employment and Start-up Linked Business Information Technology (IT) Education Capacity Building Project," Kookmin University will establish and operate a Business IT department at Tashkent University of Information Technologies starting from the fall semester this year to nurture the next generation of IT leaders in Uzbekistan, and plans to build an employment and start-up system through industry-academia cooperation.

President Seung-ryeol Jeong said, “We are pleased that Kookmin University, globally recognized in the fields of Business IT and governance, and Tashkent University of Information Technologies, the top IT higher education institution in Uzbekistan, will jointly operate a dual degree program,” adding, “We will continue to activate dual degree programs with various foreign universities to cultivate global talents who will excel in various fields worldwide.”
