Dr. Duke Ofosu-Anim of Yemyung Graduate University, also expressed his delight, noting that one of the key reasons they chose the Presbyterian University was its identity as a Christian institution, which aligns closely with their own values.
He was confident that this MoU will create a dynamic platform for innovation, cross-cultural learning, and collaborative research that addresses global challenges.
The agreement is expected to enhance both universities’ global footprints and contribute to the academic and professional development of students and staff.
