About University

The Graduate School of International Languages is a specialized graduate university in the fields of language and education, established by Yoon Kyun, the founder of Yoon’s English School, a pioneer in English education in Korea. Located in the heart of Seoul, the university opened its doors in 2002 as the Graduate School of International English, and in September 2023, it was relaunched as the Graduate School of International Languages. Under the identity of “Connecting the world through language,” the university has been dedicated to nurturing language education experts both domestically and internationally, building a distinguished reputation through a balance of practical and theoretical learning, as well as innovative curricula. The greatest strength of the Graduate School of International Languages is that it is the only specialized graduate school in Korea focused on “practical English education.” Based on the expertise and industry-academic cooperation of Yoon’s English School, the university offers practice-oriented tracks such as English education, English textbook development, phonics coaching, and English storytelling. The curriculum is subdivided into areas such as English education specialists, English textbook experts, and children’s English education, all designed with teaching methods and programs that can be immediately applied in real-world settings. In particular, the Lifelong Education Center operates up-to-date programs such as English specialist certification courses, beauty English conversation, phonics, and storytelling, fostering talent capable of actively responding to changes in the English education environment. In addition to graduate programs, the university offers various specialized programs in children’s English education, corporate English, and beauty English, establishing a unique competitive edge. Founded with the full support of Chairman Yoon Kyun, the university enjoys significant trust and influence in the education sector. Despite its short history, it has produced influential alumni in various fields, including practical English education leaders, textbook development experts, and English education consultants. Many graduates from Yoon’s English School, which transformed the paradigm of Korea’s English education market, are active here, and the university is recognized as a role model for practical education that does not focus solely on theory. The university’s operational philosophy—that “distinctive ideas and experiences” are the future’s competitive edge—drives graduates to excel not only in English education but also in diverse fields. For international students, the Graduate School of International Languages is also a unique choice. With specialized lectures and practical training in English education and a variety of English tracks, the curriculum provides tangible benefits to students from both English-speaking and non-English-speaking countries. The Lifelong Education Center offers various English-related certification courses, field training, and coaching programs, rapidly enhancing international students’ practical skills. Although official confirmation of IEQAS (Ministry of Education Certification for Attracting and Managing International Students) status is pending, the university has established a student-friendly environment through a thorough support system, English lectures and practical training, and customized mentoring programs. Scholarships are available based on academic excellence and outstanding activities, and dormitories are located in areas with excellent access to central Seoul, allowing international students to focus on their studies in a safe and comfortable environment. Situated in downtown Seoul, the campus boasts excellent access to transportation, culture, and information. On- and off-campus communities, clubs, and various networking events help international students adapt to life in Korea. The university is equipped with practical learning spaces such as libraries, study rooms, and English education labs, as well as advanced educational infrastructure, enabling students to take on new challenges at any time.
