Program Overview
Seoul is a dynamic metropolis where ancient history and modern life converge. And you might have heard that Seoul was ranked third “best student city” according to the QS World University Rankings® 2025! Winning factors include a “24/7” culture, late-night tea houses, and 115 museums; nine major subway (plus bus) lines so everything feels convenient; and a population of nearly 10 million people to enjoy all that it has to offer.
Korea University (KU), established in 1905, is well-regarded internationally with excellent rankings and a wide variety of open and available coursework across many majors. As one of the prestigious “SKY” Universities, along with Yonsei University and Seoul National University, KU offers a top-notch education for domestic and international students alike. We are excited to work with KU as an esteemed research-focused institution with innovations in teaching, including incubators and undergraduate research opportunities.
