Sri Lanka Technology Campus (SLTC) has taken another significant step in advancing its internationalisation agenda by entering into a strategic partnership with Changshin University, South Korea, through the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to establish the Changshin University Korean Language Centre @ SLTC.
The partnership marks an important milestone in strengthening educational and cultural ties between Sri Lanka and South Korea, while creating new opportunities for SLTC students and the wider community to gain international exposure, develop Korean language proficiency, and explore pathways towards global education and career opportunities.
A New Gateway to Korean Language and Culture
The newly established Changshin University Korean Language Centre @ SLTC is envisioned as a platform for accessible and quality Korean language education in Sri Lanka. Through the Centre, learners will have the opportunity to develop their Korean language skills while gaining greater insight into Korean culture, society, and educational opportunities.
The initiative is expected to serve as an important foundation for future programmes and activities connecting students with academic opportunities, cultural exchange, international mobility, and potential study and career pathways in South Korea.
Strengthening Sri Lanka–South Korea Academic Connections
SLTC was pleased to welcome a distinguished delegation from Changshin University for the MoU signing and discussions on future collaboration. The delegation comprised:
- Professor Lee Jaehak – Director, ANCHOR Project Office and Professor, Department of Aviation Maintenance Engineering
- Professor Rajitha Kawshalya – Professor in Charge, International Affairs and Professor, Department of Industrial AI & Robotics
- Ms. Shin Mingyo – Team Leader, Office of International Affairs
- Ms. Jeong Sugyeong – Program Officer, ANCHOR Project Office
The visit provided a valuable platform for both institutions to strengthen their relationship and explore further areas of collaboration in higher education, internationalisation, student development, academic engagement, and knowledge exchange.
Expanding Global Opportunities for SLTC Students
The MoU was formally signed by the Vice Chancellor of SLTC alongside representatives of Changshin University, reflecting the shared commitment of both institutions to fostering educational excellence and meaningful international collaboration.
The establishment of the Korean Language Centre further complements SLTC’s growing network of international partnerships and its commitment to providing students with opportunities that extend beyond the traditional classroom.
By integrating international language education, cultural understanding, and global engagement into the student experience, the initiative will contribute towards developing globally competent graduates equipped to pursue opportunities in an increasingly interconnected world.
Looking Towards a Stronger Future Together
The partnership with Changshin University represents an important addition to SLTC’s expanding international portfolio and creates a platform for future collaboration between the two institutions.
As the Changshin University Korean Language Centre @ SLTC moves towards its next phase, both institutions look forward to developing a range of initiatives that will benefit students, academics, and the wider community, while strengthening the educational and cultural relationship between Sri Lanka and South Korea.
This partnership is more than the establishment of a language centre—it is a gateway to new global possibilities.
SLTC looks forward to building a long-term and impactful partnership with Changshin University and creating new pathways for its students to learn, connect, collaborate, and thrive globally.
