A graduation ceremony for the 2025/2026 academic year was held in the Republic of Korea for graduates of the fully state-funded dual degree program implemented between Baku Engineering University and INHA University (BEU-INHA DDP).
In their speeches at the ceremony, university leadership and faculty members congratulated the graduates and highly commended the achievements they attained during their studies. The speakers emphasized the knowledge and skills the international dual degree program had provided to the students and wished the graduates success in their future professional careers.
