Vision 8 Academy, a leading educational institution in Sri Lanka, has forged a groundbreaking partnership with Jeju Tourism University, South Korea, offering unparalleled opportunities for Sri Lankan students to study, work and thrive in one of Asia’s most dynamic nations.
Signing of MoU with key officials in Colombo recently.
This agreement between Vision 8 Academy and Jeju University signals a transformative opportunity for Sri Lankan students to benefit from South Korea’s world-class academic resources and vibrant economy.
South Korea is globally recognised for its competitive and quality-driven education system, consistently ranking among the top in international assessments like PISA. The country excels in fields like IT, mechanical engineering, entrepreneurship and tourism.
Universities such as Seoul National University, Yonsei University and Jeju Tourism University attract international students with their advanced facilities, esteemed faculty, and industry-oriented programs.
Moreover, South Korea is increasingly looking to Sri Lanka not just for its hardworking labour force but also for young, ambitious students who can contribute to its economy. With flexible work-study options, students can earn while they learn, opening pathways for long-term employment and family settlement in South Korea.
The agreement brings focus to Jeju Island, South Korea’s largest and most scenic province. Known for its breathtaking landscapes and rich history, Jeju attracts over 50 million tourists annually, making it a hotspot for tourism-related opportunities. Jeju Tourism University, a leading institution in hospitality and tourism studies, has expressed a strong interest in enrolling Sri Lankan students, recognizing their potential to thrive in the global tourism industry.
Jeju Island also holds a special place in Sri Lankan popular culture due to the popularity of Korean dramas aired locally, fostering a strong cultural affinity between the two nations.
The academic calendar, designed for flexibility, requires students to attend classes only four days a week for eight months a year, leaving ample time for part-time work. Additionally, programs encourage students to acquire proficiency in the Korean language, enhancing their employability and integration into Korean society.
The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed during a formal ceremony attended by key officials in Colombo recently, Joon Oh Kim Associate Professor, Head of Entrepreneurship Education Centre, Jeju University, Amintha Sugath De Silva Chairman, Vision 8 Academy, Kang Inkwan General Manager, Jeju University, Park Jong Chul CEO, IAP Group, Subani De Silva Managing Director, Vision 8 Academy.
