1. Kyung Hee at a Glance Kyung Hee University was founded in 1949 by Dr. Young Seek Choue, whose founding philosophy was Toward a New Civilization. Kyung Hee University was established on an academic tradition that combines education, research, and practice while pursuing the universal values of peace and mutual prosperity. Since its foundation, Kyung Hee University has spearheaded the Global Common Society Movement, establishing the International Association of University President and the United Nations International Day of Peace, receiving the UNESCO Prize for Peace Education, and also organizing the 1999 Seoul International conference of NGOs and 2009 World Civic Forum. Moving toward the betterment of future civilization, the university continues to further strengthen its status as one of the most prestigious universities in the world. Kyung Hee University not only exhibits outstanding performances in Korean Language Education but also in Oriental Medicine. Kyung Hee University was also the pioneer of TaeKwonDo Studies and continues to produce many talented athletes. Kyung Hee University has more than 100 majors in Humanities, Sociology, Engineering, Medicine, Art, Physical Education, and others including Hotel Management, Economics, and Communications which are highly ranked in both academic and practical fields. Moreover, nearly 30% of the courses at Kyung Hee University are available in English. To achieve globalization of the institution, Kyung Hee University has 453 partner universities in 71 countries worldwide. Various academic interactions between partner universities are held every year, and the World Civic Forum co-hosted by the United Nations was successfully held on May, 2009, to celebrate the university s 60th anniversary.
2. Mission In a century marked by two world wars, global ideological conflict, and the omnipresent specter of nuclear destruction, the United Nations has been a beacon of hope in a sea of distress. Kyung Hee University recognizes the United Nations role in its effort to obtain universal peace and understanding. In this vein, the university seeks to emulate those ideals in its educational system. The university s emblem is thus modeled after that of the United Nations, and its school anthem, which praises peace and liberty, resonates with its commitment to these ideals. The university pursues the United Nations principles through its commitment to creativity, progress, and cooperation, thereby hoping to promote the role of intellectuals and academics in world affairs. To engage intellectuals directly with world events, the university has initiated several international movements, especially the Global Cooperation Society Movement (GCS), which is comparable to Oxford University s Moral Rearmament Movement (MRA). The GCS strives to protect human rights, build a society of freedom and equality, and ultimately, attain world peace. The Movement for Better Living and the Movement for a Brighter Society, both initiated by Chancellor Choue, also embody the humanistic spirit of the university. Kyung Hee University strives to bridge cultural and social gaps by promoting mutual understanding and prosperity. As a result, the university encourages frequent exchanges with overseas sister schools in an effort to facilitate the exchange of ideas. These activities spread shared beliefs in the value of learning. Since 1982, on the third Tuesday of every September, the university has held international seminars in commemoration of the International Day of Peace. In 1986, the university sponsored an international peace conference in celebration of the International Year of Peace promulgated by the United Nations. Four volumes of the World Encyclopedia of Peace were edited by the Institute of International Peace Studies (a research arm of the International Association of University Presidents) and published by the Pergamon Press of the United Kingdom to commemorate the International Year of Peace. This encyclopedia is the work of over 350 scholars and experts in a broad range of fields from 40 countries and includes more than 500 articles and studies.
3. Global Collaborative Scholarship Program The objective of the Global Collaborative Scholarship Program is to provide international students with the opportunity to conduct advanced studies at Kyung Hee University. We are currently promoting scholarships to international students to enhance the understanding between nations through academic exchange which will ultimately promote Kyung Hee University s position in the global academic society. Kyung Hee University is willing to offer scholarships to international students depending on their past academic performances. - The program is only offered for undergraduate four year courses - The program provides Korean Language Courses up to one year (if necessary). The Kyung Hee University Korean Language Evaluation will determine whether applicants should enroll in the Korean Language Course.
