[Financial News]  Kookmin University discussed expanding support for international students using artificial intelligence (AI) and its internationalization strategy. Key priorities included strengthening its support system, from multilingual academic guidance to employment assistance and settlement in Korea.
Kookmin University held the 2026 Kookmin Global Forum on the 11th at the International Student Lounge in its on-campus Global Center. Held to mark the university’s 80th anniversary, the forum was themed “Envisioning Kookmin University’s Global Future in the Age of AI.”
International students, Korean students, faculty and staff attended the event. Seven panelists, including experts from inside and outside the university, professors, staff and students, exchanged views on changes to the university education environment amid advances in AI technology and on challenges related to internationalization.
Participants highlighted the need to expand AI-powered multilingual academic and administrative guidance, as well as tailored support services for individual students. They also discussed ways to expand employment and startup support, international exchanges and global curricula, along with Korean-language education to help international students adapt to their studies and daily life.
Participants agreed that support for international students should extend beyond admission and academic studies to include employment after graduation and settlement in Korea. They also emphasized creating an educational environment where students of different nationalities and cultural backgrounds can study and interact together.
Kim Byong-joon, director of Kookmin University’s Office of International Affairs, said, “Based on the diverse views presented at the forum, we will work to build a global campus where international students and Korean students can grow together.”
