In September 2024, our university launched the Korean specialization of the BA program in Oriental languages and cultures, which - based on the application data - proved to be a gap-filling course in the general higher education admission process. The university's relations with South Korea are constantly developing, we currently offer our students participation in mobility with 6 Korean partner institutions. The primary purpose of the meeting in early September was to explore the possibilities for cooperation between the two institutions.
