About University

“A century of educational tradition, the heart of Hallyu culture.” Chung-Ang University’s Second Campus is a living history of modern education in Korea and a cradle of global intellect reaching out to the world. Since its founding in 1916, Chung-Ang University has grown through innovation and pioneering spirit, operating integrated campuses in Seoul and Anseong. The Second Campus, in particular, boasts the nation’s highest academic standards and a creative culture across diverse fields such as the humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, arts, and engineering. True to its slogan, “Learning, Practice, Sharing,” it is the top choice for international students who wish to experience the essence of Hallyu in an open and practical educational environment. What sets Chung-Ang University’s Second Campus apart is the organic convergence of various majors, including the College of Humanities, College of Arts, Natural Sciences, and Engineering. For example, the Department of History in the College of Humanities is renowned not only for its in-depth education on Korean and East Asian history but also for its comparative historical research from a global perspective. In the arts, the Department of Theatre and Film and the School of Performing Arts and Media have received significant attention both domestically and internationally, producing numerous Hallyu stars as well as film and broadcasting professionals. The College of Engineering and the College of Natural Sciences are closely linked to industry through industry-academia cooperation projects and research-oriented curricula, providing an environment where students can master both theory and practice. The university’s outstanding academic and research environment, certified by the Ministry of Education—including being selected as an “Excellent University for Educational Reform” for five consecutive years—is also a major strength. Chung-Ang University’s social influence is unparalleled among Korean universities. Not only have leading Hallyu actors and singers such as Jang Na-ra, Kim Soo-hyun, Shin Se-kyung, Kang Ha-neul, and Lee Yeon-hee studied here, but also leaders in various fields like Lee Jae-myung (politician), Kim Sung-joo (broadcaster), and Hwang Kyo-ik (columnist). In particular, the Department of Theatre and Film and the College of Arts are known as “the cradle of Korean popular culture,” with graduates achieving diverse accomplishments such as winning awards at domestic and international film festivals and spreading global K-content. Furthermore, the spirit of the university’s founder, Lim Young-shin—who played a central role in Korea’s modern history, including the March 1st Movement—still lives on throughout the campus, continuing Chung-Ang’s tradition of “changing the world through learning.” Support for international students is also a source of pride for Chung-Ang. Selected as an IEQAS (International Education Quality Assurance System) certified university, students receive preferential benefits in visa issuance, scholarships, and living support. After admission, practical support is systematically provided through international student mentoring programs, tailored Korean language education, cultural experiences, and psychological and career counseling. The scholarship system is also robust; students with excellent entrance scores or who achieve certain grades during their studies (up to 50% tuition reduction) can receive scholarships. Government-sponsored scholarship programs such as GKS are actively operated at the graduate level, making the university proactive in attracting international talent. English-taught courses and English tracks are available, and through global exchange partnerships, the university offers dual degree and exchange student programs with various overseas universities. New international students are given priority for dormitory placement and benefit from affordable living costs, allowing them to focus on their studies in a stable environment. Located in Anseong, the Second Campus boasts a pleasant natural environment and modern educational facilities. It is operated in integration with the Seoul Campus, and transportation is convenient, providing excellent access to the Seoul metropolitan area and major cities. On campus, dormitories, cafeterias, various sports and cultural facilities, and state-of-the-art libraries are available, enabling students to study and live safely and comfortably. “Where a century of tradition meets the future of Hallyu”—unleash your global dreams at Chung-Ang University’s Second Campus.
