KIT Begins Vietnam Study Fair Program Focused on Study and Career Pathways in Busan
The June 17–26 visit to Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City is linked to Busan’s 2026 RISE initiative; a June 19 fair will introduce degree and Korean-language programs, admissions and student support.
Kyungnam College of Information & Technology, known as KIT, has begun a Vietnam outreach program aimed at recruiting international students for study, career preparation and longer-term settlement pathways in Busan.
The college said the June 17–26 program in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City is linked to Busan’s 2026 Regional Innovation System & Education initiative, or RISE. The Korean term used in the source material refers to developing international talent who can study, build careers and potentially settle in the Busan region—not to students settling in Vietnam.
KIT is scheduled to hold its Vietnam Study Fair on June 19. Around 200 participants are expected, including representatives from approximately 90 partner educational institutions and study-abroad agencies. The college will provide information on degree programs, Korean-language training, international admissions, housing and student support.
A 13-member delegation led by President Kim Tae-sang and including international affairs staff and faculty members from departments serving international students will meet universities, education providers and agencies in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. The schedule includes cooperation talks, new agreements and working-level consultations.
KIT also plans to introduce programs connected to regional workforce needs, including pathways linked to Busan’s metropolitan visa initiative, training for foreign care workers and technical majors that may be relevant to the E-7-M status.
These programs do not guarantee a visa change or employment after graduation. Eligibility depends on the student’s major, qualifications, Korean-language ability, employment conditions and the immigration rules in force at the time of application.
KIT said it held a study fair and an international governance forum in Hanoi last year, creating a network with local partners. The college intends to use the current visit to expand cooperation in Vietnam and strengthen training linked to industries in the Busan region.
What applicants should check
- Confirm admission requirements, tuition, language standards and graduation rules in the official admissions guide.
- A regional-settlement pathway does not guarantee a job or continued residence after graduation.
- Check current requirements for any Busan visa initiative or E-7-M-related pathway.
- Compare housing, insurance, living costs and academic and Korean-language support.
