Maqsut Narikbayev University (MNU) and Seoul Cyber University (SCU) have launched a joint dual-degree programme in artificial intelligence. The agreement was signed in Seoul.
The agreement was reached on the sidelines of the Kazakh-Korean Roundtable, held as part of the state visit of President of the Republic of Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart Tokayev to the Republic of Korea. The agreement was signed by Talgat Narikbayev, Chairman of the MNU Board, and Lee Eun-joo, President of Seoul Cyber University. The signing ceremony was attended by Sayasat Nurbek, Minister of Science and Higher Education of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
The agreement will enable students enrolled in the Artificial Intelligence and Frontier Systems: AI + X programme to also earn a degree from a Korean university. The programme provides access to the educational and academic resources of both universities, opportunities to expand international professional networks, and further development of competencies in AI and advanced systems. The initiative is being implemented as part of the Year of Digitalisation and Artificial Intelligence.
Earlier, the universities signed a Memorandum of Understanding, laying the foundation for further cooperation. The development of the strategic partnership was also discussed during a visit by the MNU leadership to Seoul Cyber University. Talgat Narikbayev, Chairman of the MNU Board, and Sergey Pen, Vice Chairman of the MNU Board for Science, Innovation and Artificial Intelligence, met with Lee Eun-joo, President of SCU, and Lee Sang-kyun, Chairman of the SCU Board, and learned more about the university’s activities and achievements.
Seoul Cyber University was established in 2000. The university offers more than 20 programmes and is recognised as a leader in digital education in the Republic of Korea. SCU has more than 15,000 students from 40 countries.
