Kookmin University (President Jeong Seung Ryul) has been selected as a participating university in the Humanities-Utmost-Sharing-System (HUSS), a global symbiosis program implemented by the Ministry of Education and the National Research Foundation of Korea.

HUSS is a project to build a humanities-centered convergence education system and foster human resources by breaking down the boundaries between departments, majors, and universities within universities. Three to five universities form an alliance by field to establish subtopics and jointly develop and operate curricula.  For this project, alliances were selected in three areas, including ▲ region, ▲ social structure, and ▲ global and symbiosis.

Kookmin University will participate in a consortium with Kwangwoon University, Youngnam University, Sunmoon University, and Honam University in the field of global coexistence, and plans to receive financial support worth about 3 billion won every year for the next three years (2024-2026). In addition to developing and operating curricula jointly among universities and reorganizing the academic system to revitalize physical and human exchanges, the university plans to promote various convergence courses and non-curricular activities linked to regular courses, such as job practice (internships), lectures by experts in the field, and competitions. 

As a participant in the university alliance project, Kookmin University has achieved remarkable results in various fields that cross the humanities, nature, and arts. Utilizing its strengths in the automobile industry, which is its core competitiveness, Kookmin University has already taken the lead as a university leading innovation in the field of science and technology as the host university (university-led) and the host university (region-linked) of the future automobile sector of the 2021 Digital New Technology Talent Fostering Innovation Sharing University Project. Last year, Kookmin was selected as the host university for the 'Environment' sector of the Humanities and Social Convergence Talent Development Project, and Kookmin was evaluated as a university that has achieved even development in all fields of humanities, nature, and arts. 

"After being selected as the host university for the 'Environment' category of the Humanities and Social Convergence Talent Development Project last year, we have once again achieved good results in the humanities and social sciences," said an official from Kookmin University. "As all education-related projects have a unified goal of fostering convergent talents that exceed systematic knowledge and imagination, we will continue to strive to become a representative university that sets new standards for the Korean higher education system based on this educational philosophy."
