Sejong University has been selected for the third batch of the Korean government’s CAMPUS Asia-AIMS program, expanding academic cooperation with universities in Southeast Asia, the university said.
The initiative, led by the Ministry of Education, aims to strengthen higher education ties between Korea and member states of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) through student exchanges and joint academic programs designed to cultivate globally competitive talent.
Under the selection, Sejong University is expected to deepen partnerships with major ASEAN institutions and establish a sustainable framework for international education collaboration.
A school official said the university will operate an integrated curriculum under its Sejong Global STAR Program, combining specialist training, language and cultural competence, artificial intelligence and digital skills, and real-world application. The course is designed to move beyond short-term exchanges toward joint degree courses and collaborative research.
Sejong University also plans to develop shared curricula with partner institutions in Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines. The initiative will link regular semester exchanges with short-term programs such as the Sejong International Summer Program.
“The CAMPUS Asia-AIMS project will expand interuniversity exchanges and help build an international education platform to foster global talent for future advanced industries,” said Lee Chung-hoon, head of external affairs at Sejong University.
