About University

Cyber Hankuk University of Foreign Studies (CUFS) is an online-specialized university affiliated with Hankuk University of Foreign Studies, an innovative cyber university that brings the tradition and global network of the prestigious offline “HUFS” to an online education platform. While based on the Seoul Campus and Global Campus, all academic programs are operated 100% online, allowing students to experience cutting-edge foreign language and global education anytime, anywhere in the world without restrictions of time or place. Under its identity as a “digital campus connecting languages and the world,” CUFS has focused on nurturing future-oriented global talents by optimizing HUFS’s internationalization capabilities and diverse language education expertise for the online environment. The greatest strength of CUFS lies in its direct transfer of HUFS’s curriculum and faculty—the nation’s top foreign language-specialized university—into the online sphere. In addition to a wide range of language majors such as English, Chinese, Japanese, Spanish, and Vietnamese, CUFS offers practical interdisciplinary programs essential for the global era, including International Trade, Korean Language Education, Practical Foreign Languages, and Cultural Contents. In particular, the curriculum is tailored for official foreign language exams such as FLEX and is practice-oriented, providing strong advantages for employment and career development. Active professionals such as interpreters, translators, global business experts, and faculty with extensive field experience directly participate in teaching. Furthermore, both real-time video lectures and recorded lectures are provided, enabling students residing abroad to continue their studies flexibly. CUFS boasts a unique position in foreign language and internationalization education among domestic cyber universities and offers opportunities for overseas internships and global projects through HUFS’s industry-academia cooperation network. The long history and prestige of Hankuk University of Foreign Studies are fully inherited by CUFS. Since its establishment in 1954, HUFS has produced numerous diplomats, global leaders, celebrities, and creators. Alumni are active in various fields, from stars in popular culture such as Park Sung-woong (actor), Kim Jun-hyun (comedian), Lee Seung-hwan (singer), and Cha In-pyo (actor), to new-generation media influencers like Diva Jessica (YouTuber), Jonathan (broadcaster), and F717 (tech reviewer). HUFS also stands out globally, having awarded honorary doctorates to world leaders such as Barack Obama and Mikhail Gorbachev. CUFS students, as members of the HUFS alumni network, can enjoy various mentoring and career support benefits. Support for international students is also outstanding. CUFS is recognized as an excellent university in the “International Education Quality Assurance System (IEQAS)” certified by the Ministry of Education of the Republic of Korea, making it a trusted educational institution for visa issuance, scholarships, and campus services. Many majors, including English, are offered in English, and reasonable admission requirements are set, such as a TOEFL iBT score of 71 or higher or IELTS 5.5 or higher. Outstanding international students are eligible for various scholarships, including up to 100% tuition and full dormitory fee waivers, and affordable four-person dormitory accommodations are provided. From admission to graduation, a dedicated administrative team supports international students with visas, daily life, career, and language difficulties, and both online and offline mentoring/tutoring programs are operated. Due to the nature of online classes, students can obtain their degrees while residing in their home countries, significantly reducing the economic and time burdens for international students. CUFS also stands out in terms of living environment and campus infrastructure. Students can utilize advanced facilities such as offline campus (Seoul and Yongin) libraries and Global Hall, and the online learning platform is accessible 24/7 from anywhere, allowing even busy international students to study independently.
