Visit by University of Science and Technology Beijing, China

On June 3, KSU had two guests from the University of Science and Technology Beijing (USTB) - Mr. Lee Qing Mao (Deputy Director of School of International Study) and Ms. Noriko Terada (Director of International Program Development).

USTB was established in 1952, and is renowned for its courses in science. Undergraduate schools include those of Engineering, Science, Law, Economy and Foreign Languages. It was one of the first higher education institutions in China to be approved by the state as a graduate school. USTB is a top-class university and has received several awards for superior research results.

KSU agreed upon a cooperation agreement with USTB in 2002 and has accepted students from USTB since 2003. During this visit, Mr. Lee proposed an academic agreement between the two universities and talked with Professor Akifumi Yahanashi, Associate Professor Mitsuyo Seki and Professor Yoko Imai over the issues of such an agreement.
It is hoped that this visit will enhance ties and develop an exchange program in the future.
