About University

Kyung Hee University, renowned as the “cradle of K-Culture and global leaders,” is a prestigious private university in Korea that nurtures future talents at its two campuses in Seoul and Suwon (International Campus). Since its founding in 1949, Kyung Hee has pursued a harmonious balance of education, research, and social contribution, putting into practice its founding philosophy of “creating a cultural world” for the peace and prosperity of humanity. The two campuses, spanning the heart of Seoul and southern Gyeonggi Province, are distinct yet organically connected, offering a wide range of majors and global opportunities. Kyung Hee’s greatest strength lies in its top-tier competitiveness in Asia in fields related to K-Culture, such as art, design, music, performance, and tourism. In particular, the College of Art and Design’s Department of Postmodern Music, Department of Theater and Film, and the College of Hotel and Tourism Management enjoy unrivaled reputations both domestically and internationally. Superstars leading K-POP and K-Drama have emerged from here, and the Department of Postmodern Music, the first and largest of its kind in Korea, leads the field of popular music and applied arts. In addition, Kyung Hee excels in cutting-edge academic areas such as the College of Engineering, College of Software Convergence, and College of Life Sciences, fostering interdisciplinary talents through industry-academia collaboration with Kyung Hee Medical Center and Kyung Hee Korean Medicine Hospital, as well as innovative programs like the Global Academy for Future Education. The university also stands out for its flexible major transfer system between campuses and its active international exchange and dual degree programs, allowing students to gain diverse majors and experiences. Kyung Hee alumni exert widespread influence across various sectors. Stars who represent Korea, such as Gong Yoo of “Goblin,” G-Dragon of Big Bang, Kyuhyun of Super Junior, actors Sung Yu-ri and Kim Tae-ri, comedian Jang Do-yeon, singers Park Hyo-shin and Min Kyung-hoon, and announcer Jung In-young, all nurtured their dreams here. Moreover, the university has produced numerous distinguished figures and leaders in fields such as medicine, law, politics, and journalism, making a significant impact on Korean society with its unique culture and spirit of innovative challenge. Kyung Hee’s alumni network and brand power are recognized both domestically and internationally as symbols of success. Support for international students is also outstanding. Kyung Hee is certified by the Korean Ministry of Education’s IEQAS (International Education Quality Assurance System), providing advantages in visas, scholarships, and employment. Every year, hundreds of international students participate in regular degree programs and International Education Institute (Korean and English-taught) programs, with English tracks and a variety of liberal arts and major courses reflecting the latest trends. Dedicated dormitories (such as Woojeongwon) offer living guidance in English, Chinese, and Korean, and systematic support is provided through the Global Buddy Program, counseling, and life guides. Scholarships are awarded based on academic performance, recommendations, and global leadership, ensuring substantial benefits for outstanding international students. In addition, ongoing programs such as online English and Korean conversation, practical language classes, and career mentoring help students adapt. Campus life is another pride of Kyung Hee. The Seoul Campus, with its elegant Neo-Renaissance buildings and beautiful gardens, is considered “the most beautiful campus in Korea,” while the International Campus boasts a spacious site, state-of-the-art facilities, comfortable dormitories, and various sports and cultural spaces. Transportation is convenient with easy access via Seoul and Suwon subway lines and buses, and both on and off campus, there are abundant opportunities to experience Hallyu and engage in global networking.
