About University

Located in Sajik-dong, Jongno-gu, at the heart of Seoul, Baewha Women’s University is a women’s college that combines over 120 years of tradition with innovation. With the goal of cultivating distinguished female leaders in the vibrant city center, the university offers a growth platform for future female talents by integrating practical, hands-on education with a global network. “Practicality, internationalization, and the realization of women’s dreams” succinctly defines the identity of Baewha Women’s University. Baewha Women’s University’s greatest strengths lie in its specialized, practice-oriented departments and its global exchange system. Diverse departments such as Early Childhood Education, Child Care, Food and Nutrition, Hotel and Tourism, Social Welfare, and Library and Information Science operate with hands-on curricula designed to prepare students for immediate entry into the workforce. In particular, the Hotel and Tourism and Food and Nutrition fields are closely linked to the university’s central Seoul location, enabling active field training and industry-academia cooperation. As of 2024, Baewha Women’s University has established sisterhood relationships with 48 universities in 12 countries around the world, and offers various international exchange programs such as short-term language courses and joint major (2+2) programs with major universities in the United States, Japan, China, and other countries. The international transfer program, which allows graduates to transfer into the third year at universities in Japan or China and continue on to a bachelor’s degree, is a unique competitive edge among women’s colleges of the same caliber. With its long history, Baewha Women’s University has established itself as a cradle for nurturing professional female talent. Alumni active in various fields—including masters of kimchi and traditional Korean cuisine, as well as professionals in performing arts, music, and social welfare—are found throughout Korean society. The university’s significant social impact is evident in its consistent production of practical and creative talents, such as successors of Korean food culture (e.g., Korea Food Grand Master for Baek Kimchi), emerging artists, and practice-oriented social workers. The pride of Baewha Women’s University extends beyond the diploma, continuing as the “Baewha spirit” that empowers graduates to become leaders in their respective fields. Robust support is also provided for international students. The International Exchange and Cooperation Center offers customized support from admission to graduation, and initial scholarships such as the Campbell Scholarship (partial admission fee support for all new students) are available. Practical internationalization opportunities are open through language training in English, Chinese, Japanese, exchange student programs, and 2+2 joint degree programs. The dormitory facilities are modern and safely managed, offering both excellent city access and comfort, which leads to high satisfaction among international students. (For IEQAS certification status and the proportion of English-taught courses in each major, please refer to the latest official website.) Tuition is at a reasonable level compared to other private colleges in Seoul, and opportunities to obtain a four-year bachelor’s degree are also available through advanced major courses. The campus, conveniently located near a subway station, boasts excellent transportation access in downtown Seoul. While situated in the city center, the campus is quiet and cozy, and is adjacent to traditional cultural landmarks such as Namsan and Gyeongbokgung Palace, allowing students to experience both the history and modernity of Korea. Under the goal of fostering “globally competent women with strong practical skills,” Baewha Women’s University will be a reliable partner in realizing your dreams.
