South Korea's battery component maker POSCO Future M, formerly POSCO Chemical, said on Tuesday that it has entered into an agreement with Sungkyunkwan University to launch a customized degree program called the 'e-Battery Track' aimed at nurturing talent in the field.

As part of the agreement, POSCO Future M will operate a master's and doctoral program in battery materials at Sungkyunkwan University, starting in the second half of this year.

Selected students will benefit from tuition and scholarship support, while graduates will secure employment opportunities at the POSCO Future M Energy Material Research Institute and other related organizations. Throughout the course, students will also gain hands-on experience through site visits and joint research projects.

This collaboration follows POSCO Future M's previous agreements with top domestic educational institutions such as POSTECH, UNIST, Hanyang University, DGIST, and Yonsei University.
