Myongji University is working with the Government of Korea to establish a University (Pakistan Advance Institute of Science and Technology, PAIST) in Peshawar, Pakistan. [1] The Pakistani government’s project for PAIST which will be set up by the Korean university is believed to result from their experience with Chung Kun-mo, president of the university, who was the former vice-president of the Korea Institute of Science and Technology, the predecessor of the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST). Six universities including Myongji are expected to operate PAIST over the next 10 years following its establishment. The partnership universities will be involved in such projects as selecting likely curriculums, designing school buildings and dispatching faculty members from their own countries. The school said that about 500 students would be recruited by every institute in the six cities. The school is considering forming a consortium with other universities in Korea to conduct the project. ``The project will be a large-scale project as a Korean university operating in Pakistan. Under the MOU signed between the Myongji University and Higher Education Commission (HEC) of Pakistan, university gave admission to eight Pakistani student in MS (Master of Science) Engineering Course. Four in Electronics and Communications Engineering and Four in Mechanical and Automobile Engineering. This programme started in fall 2006 and will continue for five years. The courses are taught in English. Korean language and Korean Ecnomics courses and many culture exchange programmes are also being introduced for Pakistani students.
