The program topics were selected from software-related fields closely linked to the school curriculum, including software industry and technology trends, artificial intelligence, information security, machine learning, and web design. It also includes a mentoring program with local Korean international students and a final project presentation conducted by students in English.

This agreement marks the first case of NUS signing an MOU with a domestic high school, and every year, all second-year students of Busan Software Meister High School will participate in the four-day ‘STEM Leaders Programme’ held on the NUS local campus.

The agreement is valid for three years and can be continuously extended in three-year increments with mutual consent.
