The future of humanity is darkening due to numerous problems, such as the climate crisis, rapid technological development, global inequality, and the spread of infectious diseases. Even in the rapidly changing transformational period in civilization, our mission to ‘create the cultural world’, the founding spirit of ‘Kyung Hee’, remains unchanged.

As global citizens, we can communicate, cooperate, and open a ‘better future.’

We can cherish and consider each other and solve global challenges together.

We can grow into ‘global leaders’ who lead the future.

Kyung Hee University’s Institute of International Education will support you based on infinite trust.

By fulfilling its responsibilities, we will contribute to the prosperity of the global community.

2023 is a meaningful year to mark the 30th anniversary of the establishment of the Korean language curriculum at the Institute of International Education. The original intention and the goal of education that have continued since the opening is for people to freely express their emotions and opinions in languages other than their mother tongues and deeply explore cultures and academics.

The Institute of International Education has the academic network consisting of over 150 excellent teachers and staff and about 500 language education experts worldwide. In addition to Korean, various language education courses, including English, Chinese, Japanese, and French, are conducted in the classroom and online. We also cooperate closely with other fields of study, companies, and related organizations through languages. We are expanding the horizon of language education through convergence and consilience and continuously researching and developing to optimize the ‘learner-centered customized curriculum.’ Without time and physical restrictions, whenever or wherever you are, we will do our best for you to access excellent curriculums on Korean and foreign languages, cultures, and academics.

Korea has traditionally valued the relationship between teachers and students. It is called the ‘Sa-Je relationship.’ The modern application is the ‘Companion (1:1 Coaching)’ Program. The teachers will give each of you affectionate advice on the career path, further study, and life. Moreover, their accurate assessment and education will dramatically improve your academic performance.

The language exchange program, ‘Beot’ helper system, allows you to meet friends of similar age and build pleasant memories. This historic system has been actively promoted with the full support of Kyung Hee University as the days go by. The ‘World Korean Language Speech Contest for Foreigners’, the Institute of International Education has hosted for over 20 years, has become the most representative Korean culture event. In addition, our institute’s programs, such as specialized cultural classes, experiential activities, and travel, will make the exchange between Korean culture and other cultures more enjoyable and natural.

The name of the main gate of Kyung Hee University is ‘Deungyongmun.’ As the legend says, a fish becomes a dragon if it passes through the ‘Yongmun,’ the Institute of International Education will be the starting point for you to a ‘better future.’

Thank you.
