About University

Yonsei University Mirae Campus is one of Korea’s leading prestigious universities, embodying the identity of “a gateway to challenge, innovation, and the future.” Located in Wonju, Gangwon Province, this campus, together with the Seoul Sinchon Campus, forms the two pillars of Yonsei University and has established itself as a hub for education and research connecting the local community and the world. The campus’s unique heritage stems from over a century of medical and educational tradition that began in 1913 at the Swedish Methodist Hospital, and its distinct regional foundation, starting with the establishment of the Wonju Branch of the College of Medicine in 1977, sets Yonsei Mirae Campus apart. The greatest strengths of Yonsei University Mirae Campus are its “practice-oriented education centered on medicine, health, and natural sciences” and its “industry-academia cooperation.” The campus boasts a robust academic structure, including health and medical fields such as Pre-Medicine, Medicine, and Public Health, as well as basic sciences like Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, and Biology, and humanities and social sciences such as Economics, Business Administration, and English Language and Literature. In particular, by leveraging the advantages of the Wonju region, a center for the medical and bio industries, the campus offers abundant opportunities for industry-academia collaboration and field training. The practice and research environments linked with institutions such as Severance Hospital at Wonju provide a unique competitive edge in Korea. The “Residential College” system, introduced in 2007, focuses on students’ holistic growth and the cultivation of community spirit, creating a campus culture distinct from other universities. Furthermore, the campus has achieved remarkable progress in the past five years, including its selection as a Ministry of Education University for Capacity Enhancement in 2018, and the 2019 renaming to “Mirae Campus” symbolizes its innovative image and future-oriented academic system. Yonsei University Mirae Campus is also renowned for producing graduates who have significant social influence across various fields.
