St Edmund’s College is delighted to announce a new international partnership with Jeju National University, South Korea. The cooperation will launch a software business focused programme with English language, funded by the Korean government. The programme will involve 44 Universities and the first cohort will travel to Cambridge for a 3-week course in summer 2023 from 6 – 19 August, as part of St Edmund’s Global Programmes, managed by BlueBridge Education.

Earlier this month, St Edmund’s College Master, Catharine Arnold OBE, and BlueBridge Education Co-Founder Stewart Eru met with Professor Jineun Eun, Dean of Jeju National University and Professor Seongbaeg Kim, Director of Jeju National University. The long-term partnership aims to foster creative talent in computer science via an annual software development programme.

The programme will cover the following subject areas:

Alongside technology and software-related classes, the course will include English language modules, as well as visits to start-up and software related companies, and project work in small groups.

Bluebridge Education Managing Director Stewart Eru said “We are delighted to introduce this project to the college and we look forward to developing the programme to expand the opportunity to other partner universities and students who are interested in this field.”
