About University

Inje University is a large private comprehensive university with campuses in Gimhae and Busan, located in the southeastern region of the Republic of Korea. Founded on the founding philosophy of “Benevolent Medical Practice for the Salvation of the World (仁術濟世),” it is an educational institution dedicated to practicing humanitarianism and social contribution. Its tradition, which began with the establishment of Paik Hospital in 1932, has continued for over 90 years and today serves as a cradle of education for more than 10,000 students pursuing their dreams across fields such as medicine, health, engineering, and the humanities and social sciences. The dual-campus system allows students to enjoy the unique characteristics of both Gimhae and Busan, and the university’s identity—fostering practical and compassionate talent—makes Inje University truly special. Inje University’s greatest strength lies in its top-tier competitiveness in the medical and health fields in Korea. Colleges specializing in medicine, nursing, and pharmacy operate independently, and the university owns leading affiliated hospitals such as Busan Paik Hospital, Sanggye Paik Hospital, and Ilsan Paik Hospital, providing students with abundant opportunities for practical training and research. In particular, the Department of Physical Therapy operates a dual degree program with AUT in New Zealand, boasting the only system in Korea that enables graduates to obtain physiotherapist qualifications in Commonwealth countries. The university also offers convergence-oriented departments and industry-academic cooperation programs reflecting the trends of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, such as the BNIT College of Convergence and the College of Health and Medical Convergence, along with various English and international exchange tracks, focusing on nurturing globally competent talent. Additionally, the university’s low tuition dependence rate compared to the national average and its diverse scholarship programs demonstrate its genuine commitment to student-centered education. Inje University has produced a wide range of talented individuals who have contributed to the local community and the nation. Alumni include former National Assembly Speaker Chung Ui-hwa, Sulbing founder Jung Sun-hee, KBS announcer Kim Ji-hyun, and financier Yoo Soo-jin, as well as leaders from various sectors, renowned broadcasters, and sports stars. Especially in the fields of medicine and health, numerous medical professionals and experts have been produced and are active in medical settings both domestically and internationally. The university also takes pride in having produced the first Korean member of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change Secretariat and champions in sports such as Ssireum and hockey. In this way, Inje University is recognized as a cradle for nurturing talented individuals who possess both competence and character. Support for international students is also very robust. Inje University is certified by the Ministry of Education’s IEQAS (International Education Quality Assurance System) for excellence in attracting and managing international students, providing significant advantages in visa and scholarship issuance. The scholarship support rate for international students exceeds 70%, and a wide range of support is offered from admission to graduation, including Korean language and life adaptation mentoring, thesis writing workshops, and global citizenship programs. Internationalization programs such as English-taught courses, dual degrees, and overseas short-term training are also actively operated, and on-campus dormitories are affordably provided at around 300,000 KRW per month (for double occupancy). The “one-stop support system,” which includes orientation exclusively for international students, safety and health management, and cultural experiences, is a distinctive point of pride compared to other universities. Thanks to its location in Gimhae and Busan, transportation is convenient and the campus living environment is safe and pleasant. Infrastructure such as university shuttle buses, subways, and dormitories is well established, and vibrant club, festival, and sports team cultures add to the enjoyment of campus life. Inje University will be the best choice for international students aspiring to become global leaders with warm character and future competitiveness.
