About University

Sejong Cyber University is a leading institution in future-oriented online education, representing South Korea as a premier remote university that provides an optimized learning environment for the digital era. As a 100% online-based university with no offline campus, its most distinctive feature is that students can receive higher education anytime and anywhere, free from the constraints of time and space. Sejong Cyber University’s identity lies in being an “open knowledge platform” that helps students of various ages and nationalities continue to pursue their dreams, regardless of their circumstances—whether at work, at home, or abroad. The university’s greatest strength is its specialized, practice-oriented departments. Focusing on high-demand fields such as Real Estate Management, Business Administration, Hotel & Tourism Management, Social Welfare, Counseling Psychology, and Information Security & Communication, Sejong Cyber University admits over 2,000 new students each year. Among these, newly established and “trendy” departments such as Real Estate, Distribution & Logistics, Culinary Industry, and Mobile App Development are particularly noteworthy. Notably, the university has received official recognition for the quality of its lectures through government certifications, including the 2009 Minister of Education, Science and Technology Award (Best e-Learning Content) and the 2011 Korea True Education Award (Online Education Division). The university also offers curricula to develop global competencies, such as English majors and International Studies within the School of International Studies, providing a wide range of choices that encompass both practical skills and global capabilities among Korean cyber universities. Another notable aspect is the presence of many prominent alumni active in various fields of society. Actress Noh Hyun-hee, with 30 years of experience, currently serves as a professor in the YouTuber Department, and a variety of celebrities, politicians, and businesspeople are pioneering new careers by combining academic knowledge and practical skills at Sejong Cyber University. Numerous professionals, including the first university president from a cyber university background, social workers, and lawyers, have graduated from here, establishing the university’s social image as “a university of open opportunities for everyone.” In particular, students from diverse backgrounds—such as working professionals, homemakers, and artists—are able to balance their studies and careers without the limitations of time and place, positively impacting society as a whole. Support for international students is also systematically provided. Depending on TOPIK (Test of Proficiency in Korean) scores or completion results from King Sejong Institute at the time of admission, various scholarships are available, including up to 500,000 KRW in support funds and exam fee assistance. Tuition is very reasonable compared to regular universities (typically 1/3 to 1/4 the cost), and foreign students can easily apply through special admission tracks for freshmen and transfer students. Although Sejong Cyber University is not certified by IEQAS (Ministry of Education’s International Education Quality Assurance System), it operates its own dedicated support team for international students and offers Korean language and some major courses in English. In cooperation with Sejong University, foreign students can also reside in the offline dormitory (Haengbok Dormitory), providing housing support and guidance for those adapting to life in Korea for the first time. There are also systems in place to help international students naturally integrate into Korean society and culture, such as local adaptation programs through the International Exchange Center, online orientation, and a variety of club activities. Although campus life consists entirely of online lectures, assignments, and exams, student support programs such as the student council, clubs, and career services are operated at a level comparable to offline universities. Students can also utilize affiliated institutions of Sejong University and conveniently located offline facilities (such as dormitories) in central Seoul, making offline networking or gatherings possible when needed. With convenient transportation, housing, and living facilities, Sejong Cyber University offers an environment where students can pursue their dreams independently, transcending the limitations of time and place—this is why the university is recommended for international students. If you are seeking new challenges and dreaming of a global career, Sejong Cyber University will be your reliable digital partner.
