According to Tamar Lominadze, the university, which is among the top three higher education institutions in South Korea, expresses a clear interest in attracting bachelor students of the Georgian Technical University who study informatics, engineering and semiconductor physics, artificial intelligence (AI), energy and mechanical engineering to continue their studies in the master’s program.
“We hope that our talented and motivated students will properly evaluate this mutually beneficial offer and, as a result, will successfully continue their studies and research in the master’s program of a highly rated Korean university,” Tamar Lominadze noted at the meeting.
Representatives of the Korea University Graduate Commission and the SK Global Scholarship Program for Master’s Degrees provided GTU students with detailed information on the opportunities to continue their studies at Korean University’s master's programs, enrollment requirements, study specifications, high scholarships, the best living conditions, and high-standard research infrastructure.
As they noted, in parallel with their studies, Georgian students will actively participate in the ongoing innovation development and implementation projects of the largest Korean corporation “SK Group” based at Korea University, which will be additionally compensated by the corporation.
Graduate Levan Ratiani, who is currently a master’s student at Korea University and a researcher at the Center for Multi-Element Nanoparticle Tectonics, spoke to the students participating in the meeting about the life of international students at Korea University, their involvement in educational and research processes, and the many development opportunities.
The meeting of representatives of Korea University with students was preceded by a working visit of a delegation of a Korean higher education institution to the Georgian Technical University, during which the parties discussed the opportunities for GTU bachelor students to continue their studies at the master’s level in South Korea.
