MANDAKH UNIVERSITY STUDENTS VISIT PARTNER UNIVERSITIES IN SOUTH KOREA

November 6, 2026

As part of the Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) established with partner institutions, students from Mandakh University participated in a study visit to Halla University, Sangmyung University, and Hansung University in the Republic of Korea from October 28th to November 1st, 2026.

The purpose of the visit was to provide students with firsthand experience of the partner universities' academic environments, student accommodation, student services, and library facilities, while introducing opportunities to participate in joint academic programs and student exchange programs in the future.

Four Mandakh University students participated in the visit: M. Khudernyam, a third-year student majoring in Accounting; R. Khaliunaa, a third-year student majoring in Business Administration; E. Batbileg, a second-year student majoring in Finance and Banking; and U. Tumen-Ulzii, a second-year student enrolled in the English-taught Business Administration program.

Students Share Their Experiences

R. Khaliuna:

"I am delighted to have had the opportunity to visit Korean universities in person and learn about their academic environments, the opportunities available to students, and the distinctive features of their programs. It was particularly interesting to see that each university had its own unique characteristics."

E. Batbileg:

"The universities in South Korea were very well-organized, clean, and comfortable, with excellent facilities and an environment conducive to learning. The faculty and staff welcomed us warmly and introduced us to their universities in a very friendly and welcoming manner."

M. Khudernyam:

"We visited three universities in South Korea. Our first destination was Halla University, which is located quite far from Seoul. I was impressed by its strong focus on technology and artificial intelligence, as well as its commitment to supporting students in their studies.

Our next destination was Sangmyung University, which places considerable emphasis on the arts, business, and technology.

Hansung University, on the other hand, appeared to be a student-centered institution with a strong focus on technology and business, particularly in supporting student entrepreneurship and start-up businesses.

I was especially impressed by the well-equipped classrooms and the various facilities available for students to engage in recreational and extracurricular activities."

U. Tumen-Ulzii:

"I was particularly impressed by the universities' efforts to create comfortable and supportive learning environments. I really liked the study cafés located within the campuses, as well as the various lounges and relaxation spaces provided for students.

The campuses also had plenty of green spaces, making them even more comfortable and pleasant.

Overall, I felt that South Korea shares certain similarities with Mongolia, so the cultural and communication differences did not seem too significant. I believe it would be relatively easy to adapt to life there and settle into a new environment."

Meeting with a Mandakh University Student Enrolled in the 2+2 Program

During the visit, the students also met with B. Bayarsolongo, a Mandakh University student currently studying at Sangmyung University in South Korea through the 2+2 dual-degree program. They discussed the key considerations and advantages of participating in the program.

B. Bayarsolongo:

"I chose Sangmyung University because it is highly regarded in South Korea for its programs in Business Administration, Finance, and the Arts.

Our university has two campuses, one in Seoul and the other in Incheon. I study at the Seoul campus. I was quite surprised to discover that the university is located on top of a hill. In fact, many university campuses in South Korea are situated in hilly areas.

One of the major advantages of the dual-degree program is that students graduate with degrees from both universities. Therefore, I strongly encourage you to consider participating in the 2+2 program as well."

Expanding International Student Exchange Opportunities

Building on the success of this visit, Mandakh University plans to further expand this initiative by welcoming students from its partner universities in South Korea to visit Mandakh University and experience its academic environment firsthand.
