About University

Located in the heart of Korea’s administrative capital, Sejong Special Self-Governing City, Korea University Sejong Campus is a prestigious university fostering domestic and international talent under the identity of “innovative convergence and practical education.” Since its transition from the Jochiwon Branch to Sejong Campus in 2008, it has established itself as a hub for cutting-edge research and global networking. The campus offers leading-edge education in diverse fields such as humanities and social sciences, natural sciences, engineering, ICT, and bio, achieving independent development based on the tradition and reputation of the Seoul Campus. The most distinctive feature of Korea University Sejong Campus is its advanced interdisciplinary majors and practice-oriented education. The campus particularly excels in AI, ICT, and bio fields, and in 2026, new programs such as the Graduate School of Public Administration and AI/ICT-related majors will be established within the Sejong Joint Campus. This is made possible by curricula organically linked to Sejong’s administrative and scientific infrastructure, and in practice, field-oriented education through industry-academia cooperation is active, including at the Biomedical Research Institute in the Osong Bio-Health Science Technopolis. There are also abundant opportunities for industry-academia projects and internships with local public institutions and companies, greatly enhancing graduates’ employment competitiveness. Various interdisciplinary major systems on campus allow students to freely explore two or more academic fields, nurturing convergent talents required by a rapidly changing society. Korea University Sejong Campus has produced outstanding graduates across all sectors of society. Notable alumni include actor Jung Woo-sung, Block B’s Park Kyung, singer Alexander (U-KISS), rapper Cold Bay, investor Jung Chae-jin, and Pearl Abyss main PD Jung Hwan-kyung. These individuals have distinguished themselves not only academically but also in culture, arts, IT, and industry. The campus has also produced high-ranking public officials and influencers in fields such as information and communications, administration, and business, further solidifying its status as a prestigious university. The tradition and pride unique to Korea University are carried on through an educational approach that emphasizes the spirit of democratization, autonomy, and social responsibility in modern Korean history. Support for international students is also robust. Korea University Sejong Campus is certified under the Ministry of Education’s International Education Quality Assurance System (IEQAS), providing preferential benefits such as visa issuance and scholarship applications for students who complete their studies. International undergraduates can receive intensive Korean language education based on their Korean proficiency upon admission or choose major courses offered in English. Most departments at Sejong Campus offer courses in English, and a dedicated administrative team for international students, mentoring programs, and Korean cultural experiences provide a wide range of tailored support. The campus also has a well-established scholarship system for current students, with active selection of national scholarship applicants and on-campus scholarship recipients as of the 2025 academic year. Dormitories are equipped with modern facilities, ensuring a stable environment for international students to focus on their studies. A major advantage of Sejong Campus is the ability to enjoy both a pleasant natural environment and modern infrastructure. The campus offers excellent accessibility to Sejong Special Self-Governing City, the research complex in Cheongju Osong, and nearby administrative agencies, with convenient transportation such as the Seoul-Sejong express bus and KTX Osong Station. Various student clubs, sports teams, cultural events, and festivals are actively operated on campus, enabling international students to naturally interact with others. Korea University Sejong Campus, equipped with “innovation, convergence, and global competitiveness,” will be the best choice for ambitious and passionate international students.
