UPNG signs agreement with Korean university

University of Papua New Guinea and Handong Global University of Korea yesterday signed an agreement for a new partnership for learning and development.
During the signing at UPNG’s Waigani campus, Prof Sung Hyun Mo, of Handong Global University, said the agreement marked an important step for the two universities.
He said the partnership would include exchange of students, exchange of senior lecturers and professors, joint research programmes, joint research facility, joint seminars and workshops and exchange of academic material.
Mo said HGU was a Christian university that offered a range of undergraduate and post-graduate courses including agriculture, business, medicine and engineering.
He said it was looking forward to building on the new partnership.
Acting pro-vice chancellor (academic) Prof Mange Matui said UPNG was one of the premier universities in the Pacific with graduates working across the globe.
“We are proud of our achievements as a premier university in our region,” he said. “We continue to strive to make some of our course programmes internationally recognised and accepted.
“Part of the requirement of such recognition is to have internships, partnerships and cooperation in some of our course programmes with other prestigious universities across the world.
“We are happy with this partnership we now establish with HGU.”
