본 연구는 한국 해양대학교의 트위닝을 활용한 국제화 경영전략으로 학령인구 절벽에 직면한 한국 대학의 공통된 문제점을 해운, 조선 특성화 대학의 장점을 살려 한국 해운교육의 수출을 통한 대학경영 기여 및 대학의 국제화, 학생의 글로벌화, 해운사의 국제경쟁력 강화를 위해 일반적인 외국대학 및 국내대학의 국제화 배경에 대한 문헌조사와 한국 해양대학의 국제화 현실, 국제화 장애요소와 촉진요소를 파악하여, 현행법에 근거한 고등교육 수출 유형에 따른 한국의 해양대학교가 나아갈 현실성 있는 국제화 방향을 타 대학의 외국인 유학생 유치 현황 및 추세, 교육과정 공동 운영에 대한 법적 타당성 및 활성화 방안, 연구자의 경험을 통하여 연구, 제시하고자 한다.

South Korean universities have the common prevalent problem of significantly declining student populations. This study aims to explore the management strategy behind how the two South Korean maritime universities (Korea Maritime and Ocean University (KMOU) and Mokpo National Maritime University (MMU)) in particular, can solve the above problem by achieving internationalization through Twinning programs, taking advantage of their specialties in shipping and shipbuilding to export South Korean maritime education overseas. Twinning programs will also allow the universities to achieve the internationalization of their management, the globalization of their students, and the strengthening of the international competitiveness of the South Korean maritime industry. To achieve the above aim, this study will conduct a literature review on the internationalization background of general domestic and foreign universities. This study will also try to grasp the reality of, the obstacles to, and the factors that will accelerate the internationalization of the South Korean maritime universities. Finally, this study will research and propose directions the South Korean maritime universities can take to achieve pragmatic internationalization that comply with the current law on the export of higher education. This will be done by exploring the current status and trend of other universities' attraction of foreign international students, the legal feasibility and activation measures of the co-operation of curricula, and the researcher's own experiences.
