About University

Just like its slogan, “The place where a beautiful takeoff begins!”, Suwon Women’s University is a leading private junior college in Gyeonggi Province dedicated to women who dream of change and growth. Since its establishment in 1969, the university has offered a wide range of practice-oriented majors—including nursing and health, education and welfare, arts and IT—across its two campuses in Suwon and Hwaseong. Under the motto of “Sincerity, Philanthropy, Service,” Suwon Women’s University has been at the forefront of nurturing professional female talent. With a curriculum focused on practical expertise, active industry-academic cooperation, and a distinctive global education environment, the university is a truly special choice for students seeking their first genuine step into society. Suwon Women’s University’s greatest pride lies in its nationally recognized Department of Nursing and its strengths in the health and human care fields. Building on its tradition as a nursing education institution since the 1970s, the university has established a close-knit network with local medical institutions and social welfare facilities. Specialized majors such as nursing, medical rehabilitation, health food, social welfare counseling, and life care are systematically operated, with strengths in hands-on education and state-of-the-art labs and practice rooms. Creative fields such as arts and design, IT, performance, and broadcasting are also actively run, producing many practical talents linked to the K-culture industry, including practical music, beauty arts, acting and video, and broadcasting entertainment. As of 2020, approximately 4,300 students and 440 faculty and staff realize small-scale, customized education, and the university has earned trust in educational quality, being selected as a Capacity Enhancement University in the Ministry of Education’s 2018 Basic University Competency Assessment. Suwon Women’s University is also widely known as a “cradle of celebrities,” having produced many famous alumni active in K-POP, broadcasting, and the arts. Graduates such as actresses Kim Nam-joo, Kim Yoo-yeon, Yoon Jung-hee, comedian Kim Ji-min, Crayon Pop’s Choa and Way, and singer Lee Ri-won are leading figures in Korea’s entertainment industry. With a strong network in the cultural and arts sectors, the university has a significant social impact through its focus on practical talent development. Its long history has also earned it positive evaluations for community engagement, social contribution activities, and fostering female leadership. The support system for international students is also noteworthy. Centered around the International Exchange Center, the university offers a variety of tailored services, including language education (English, Chinese, Japanese, etc.), mentoring, global programs, and scholarships. Practical educational programs such as English conversation, test preparation, and online self-directed learning are provided, along with tangible benefits like full tuition refunds for program completers, awards for outstanding participants, and native speaker mentoring. There is broad financial support through university and external scholarships, student loans, and additional selection points for international students participating in international projects. While official documents do not confirm IEQAS (International Education Quality Assurance System) certification, the university actively operates dedicated international student support organizations and global talent development programs. Located in the city centers of Suwon and Hwaseong, Suwon Women’s University offers excellent transportation access, comfortable dormitories, and a variety of student amenities. The campus, surrounded by ginkgo trees and roses, provides a nature-friendly environment where students can enjoy small-group classes, vibrant clubs, festivals, and a rich university culture.
